Art of Wood

“The initial opening is a blast of fresh sour grapefruit - really nice. But the sour intensity soon goes away, and dries down into a creamy citrus pie/tart.The creamy vanilla and woods (the 'pastry' of the pie), ensure that this is not a freshie. Def too sweet, rich, and cloying for summer.Performance very good - both longevity and sillage.But because of the good performance..... after a few hours this intense citrus vanilla pie can get a bit cloying.”

“Similar to Perseus from PDM. However, drydown on my skin has a note that I perceive to be a rose - which is not what I was expecting. Perseus is much more citrus-oriented, even in dry down.It is long lasting and has a strong sillage.LE: After some time sitting on the shelve, the vanilla has been ramped up making a bit too sweet for over 25C degrees. Still a beast mode scent.”

“This is not your typical mass-appealing fragrance and it leans niche and refined. After five months of maceration, the scent has matured beautifully, revealing a smooth and elegant character. It’s unmistakably a clone of Parfums de Marly Perseus, and Lattafa has done an impressive job capturing that DNA at a fraction of the price.Performance is solid, and the composition feels classy and well-structured. Definitely a fragrance for a gentleman who appreciates sophistication over trends. For the price, this is a great purchase, and yes and I would buy it again without hesitation.”
