What does Perseus smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, with longevity scoring 7.5 out of 10. There are no season or occasion votes to draw on, so it is best described simply as a fragrance aimed at men.

It opens with bergamot, cumin and heliotrope, which give a spicy, powdery start. In the heart, lavender, jasmine and almond come forward, the almond adding a gourmand touch. The base of amber, sandalwood and vanilla carries the sweetness and a warm, woody finish. Armaf Craze and Parfums de Marly Pegasus have a close profile.
