Perseus evokes early morning at the royal residence of Marly, at the moment when the sun’s first rays waken the chateau, warm its gardens and make its fountains sparkle. A sun-kissed perfume, it celebrates the radiance of citrus and boosts energy. A luminous and refreshing creation, combined with a long-lasting sillage, to revitalize both body and spirit. The fragrance is characterized by a pink grapefruit citrus accord and a vetiver heart that come to life the moment they meet. The former immediately invigorates, its freshness electrifying the skin. At the same time the earthy facet of the vetiver is revealed, refined, comforting and sensual. Perseus’s trail is further enriched by ambergris and long-lasting dry woods. A unique morning ritual for a day of endless sunshine.
