Ludwig's sun and dried fruit
My review of PdM's new Perseus might come across as a little biased, as I'm personally currently on the hunt for a blue summer scent and the contrast means the notes here are perhaps even stronger on me than normal - I'm trying to block that out.
First to the "objective" - H/S are really good on me, the whole fragrance lasts for about 8 hours on me, it is well perceptible and apparently also present for direct neighbors. The bottle is typically PdM heavy and high quality, but above all it is one thing: fitting. For me, the color reflects the fragrance exactly, which I highly appreciate and find remarkable.
The fragrance starts very grapefruit-heavy and seems a little bitter to me. It has something royal about it, the motif of the Sun King fits very well, it seems firm and determined. In terms of fragrance, this is reflected for me in the tart, citrusy opening hours, after about 2 1/2 hours it takes on a certain creaminess on my skin, a hint of luxurious soap perhaps. Afterwards, a mixture of the two directions develops as a result of what feels like drying on rather rough towels. Tart, citrusy and creamy blend well to create a fragrance that is not offensive and yet has charisma.
A summer fragrance with citrus fruits. So far so good, but where is the big BUT? How do you imagine the advertising? Better - how was the advertising for the fragrance designed? I refer to the advertising campaign, in which "a fruity aroma and an acidic sparkling facet" were advertised. Unfortunately, nothing sparkles for me at all. Yes, an acidic sparkle is not necessarily a refreshing sparkle, but even the bitterness from the beginning is extremely dry for me. The grapefruit on the Instagram post in question is juicy and even sprinkled with drops of water - unfortunately, this seems to have been lost along the way, or they got lost on the shelf and got dried fruit.
Of course, this also gives the fragrance something of its own. There are already quite a few citrus-fresh fragrances a la turquoise or light green, so it stands out and does a good job in its own segment. Unfortunately, that doesn't make it mine. For me, it's a King Ludwig in royal robes, enjoying the sun, but who quickly gets a dry throat and calls his servants to give him water. But unfortunately no one comes. Not for the whole long day.
Thanks for reading!
