The take

What works

  • The strongest, fruitiest take on Percival — massive projection and longevity
  • Lavender-and-fresh-fruit opening that throws harder than the pricey original
  • One of the best-value fresh Percival alternatives going

Trade-offs

  • Fruitier and less refined than the niche original
  • The musk-ambroxan base can read a touch synthetic to some noses
