What does Perseus smell like?

Perseus leans towards easy daytime wear: most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most often. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters read it as masculine, and some call it modern.

It opens with blackcurrant bud, bergamot and grapefruit, a citrusy, lightly fruity freshness. In the heart, vetiver, green mandarin orange and geranium keep the green tone going and add a spicy touch. The base of ambergris, dry woods and cashmere wood leaves it calm and woody. Maison Alhambra Luminous Vivid and Atkinsons Mint & Tonic have a close profile.
