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.

Amazing Scent
It is clear that perfumery is a very personal thing...
For me, Millesime Imperial by Creed is my favorite perfume if we only consider the scent and leave aside other parameters such as duration or trail. I have quite a large niche collection with perfumes that I love, from Creed I have Aventus, Aventus cologne, VIW... And every day I go to the closet to smell this and put it on, even if it's a spray. It has become a very special scent for me.
I am of the opinion that a perfume has to last, and this one lasts a short time and doesn't become as present as others. In the existential journey that all perfume lovers undertake to find the ideal perfume that smells the best, that projects the most, that gives the most compliments, suddenly you find something like this fragrance, a perfume that even if it is not everything you were looking for makes you feel in a very special way and catches you. And you never want to let go.
It would be my signature fragrance if it weren't for the price (understandable because the ingredients are of high quality and it's a Creed) and the duration, it hurts to pick up a niche perfume and have to spray it on like there's no tomorrow. I wish it lasted much longer, if it did I would sell much of my collection and buy just this.
Is it worth spending the price on this? Try it, ask yourself what you are looking for, don't be guided by what people say and decide for yourself. If what you need is to buy a single perfume that has a trail, is heavy and attracts attention for meters far away, this is not it, but if you want a more intimate beauty cologne and you are aware that it does not last long, for me it is worth it, and very much so. Furthermore, people like this perfume very much on me.
By the way, I also have Milestone and if you smell them hand in hand you will notice that they have the same concept but the final path is different. If you like Millesime Imperial it is fine to have it for day to day wear.

Nice Summer Frag
A very manly and summery fragrance when you wear it you feel handsome, confident and happy, has a good duration smells like summer clean and is a smell that feels the quality of the ingredients. I really recommend it if you like this kind of fragrances.
Not in the top 5 Parfums de Marly fragranfes but still a good release

Georgeus in every sense
This is one of the few fragrances that have left me speechless in my olfactory journey. I perceive many things, liqueurs, praline…
Angel's Share is not as sweet as some mentioned below, from the previous descriptions I imagined it was going to be a toffee type scent but nothing to see.
Real unisex for sure, a solid 10 out of 10. And the most georgeus bottle I have ever seen for a perfume.

One of the best PdM
A classy perfume. As soon as you apply it, it has a powerful start that after a few seconds reminds you of those plastic dolls, especially its head. After a few minutes you notice the royalty of this scent. Without hesitation Herod comes to mind, but then come those floral and somewhat fruity notes, which reminds me a lot of Akaster, the latter is a real gem. Tonka bean, patchouli, rose and tobacco result in a fragrance with a lot of class, distinction and a lot of presence. In short, a great perfume, which passes to the top along with Layton and Akaster. Very good projection, longevity and wake, you will be noticed wherever you go. Recommended for all seasons except summer, formal and semi-formal outfits, from the age of 30, as it is a mature composition that I do not see it for very young men.
