Pericles was an Ancient Greek politician in Athens in 429 BC. So you’re thinking “what is this guy on about?!” Well, Percival and Pericles both have a cool story to tell, but they are not really relevant in modern times. With both, you get a bit of an idea what they were famous for, but feel a bit underwhelmed given their reputation is no longer current.
The longevity on this sucks! I pick up Mandarine, Fir, Musk, and a little Amber. There is decent projection in the opening and after 20 minutes, then as it dries down it really starts to fade away.
I was hoping this lasted more than a couple of hours, and projected a little more in the heat. I wore this on a fairly hot summers day and you can’t smell a thing unless you’re really close up. I thought it was just me,and that I had perhaps gone nose blind from the Ambroxan, but I asked my wife and my sister and they had to literally hug me to smell anything after 1 -2hours.
For the price point, it’s hugely disappointing. We have beast mode fragrances out there, and then weak fragrances that don’t last like Percival, much like the historical story of Pericles.
This has been compared to Montblanc Legend, but with better quality and projection. Sadly I’d have to say I wished it were true, but this is a poor quality product.
If this is the rubbish quality PDM are now producing, I am reluctant to buy anything else they produce.
