Percival 
Parfums de Marly (2018)

After finally smelling this fragrance....it immediately reminded me of another one, to a tee....Calvin Klein Eternity. It might sound silly to some, but smell them side by side and tell me there's a scent difference.

If a MCU Spiderman film were a fragrance, this would be it. Look, this is what Tom Holland probably wears on set. It's young, hip and kinda playful in that way all these freshy scents tend to be, just like Mr. Holland. It's also moronic and kinda generic, just like Mr. Holland. Is it *bad* perfume? No. Just like the new Spiderman franchise isn't really bad. It's just part of the same overall formula we dumb filmgoers expect to see when we slide our credit card into the reader.

If you're looking for something darker, like Andrew Garfield's Spiderman, check out Bleu de Chanel, of course. Or if you want something more stylized and goofy, like a Sam Raimi and Tobey MacGuire collaboration? Give Dylan Blue a chance. Maybe you're more of a Deadpool or Daredevil guy, in which case AF Fierce or Montblanc Legend are your types.

But if you're going to spend the cash on a full presentation of Percival, then by all means, go for it. Who am I to tell you how to spend your money? I admire your conviction to owning every infinite possibility in the multiverse of blue fragrances. I'm sure the bottles will look perfect next to your Funko Pop collection.

Percival is too generic for the PDM line. It's easy to wear, nice smelling, but not distinct in any way. Aromatic citrus top notes, over a lavender, violet mid and woody musk base, super amplified with aroma-chemicals, but in a deft and skilled way. It runs across many Versace, Montblanc and Banana Republic offerings but with five times the performance and ten times the price. I'll pass on it.
