Different PdM
I've been testing it for weeks,
A very different perfume to what Parfums de Marly is used to.
A very rough start with grapefruit, accompanied by vetiver until it becomes the protagonist, with a woody accord in the background, a background that is present in other perfumes such as Kalan.
It is undoubtedly his interpretation of vetiver.
It is a perfume launched for spring-summer. However, it is not fresh and fruity like Sedley, it is dry and elegant. It doesn't have that citrusy, aldehydic summer sparkle like Bvlgari Tygar, nor like Aventus Cologne (which may be some of its more direct rivals from other houses) and which cry out to be worn in summer. This one goes a completely different way, it's an elegant citrus that can go well in any part of the year.
The bottle and colour are very nice, but I would have preferred a transparent bottle. It makes me think that the reason they ruled out a transparent orange bottle was that it's not exactly a fresh summer release.
As a personal experience, I didn't have that feeling of saying: wow this smells nice, as I've had with most of the other launches from this house.
Edit: I emphasize that it is NOT like Tygar or Aventus Cologne, it goes another way. These two are much more summery, while Perseus is a very dry scent that doesn't give a fresh feeling, despite the grapefruit I wouldn't use it in summer, it's an elegant citrus to wear in other seasons.
