I wearing Perseus last 3 days and yeah i find similarities with mentioned scent but I don't think it's so so vetiver heavy. Yes it is citrus vetiver dominant scent , grapefrukt is not so bitter. Very jusy in the the opening. But i get much more flower aspekt not earthiness at all. Completely unisex scent maybe more feminine leaning 55% feminin -45% maskulin. Woman can easily pull out this fragrance. Performance is very good. I can easily smell fragrance 10 hours
Great review man! I was pumped for this one and still am but I’m gonna definitely wait til I can get it for a great price since I already have Eau Givree, Elysium & even Guapo by ATH.
I just went to Nordstrom to check this out. I have to say, I really like it. The TDH Eau Intense Vetiver comparison is a good one, but this has a long lasting grapefruit going over it. Also there is some type of sweetness underneath it all that keeps it very appealing. Overall it's definitely a more mature smell, but I appreciate it. I won't pay retail, but as soon as it hits discounters, I'm on it
I might have to agree with you Randy. I've now tested Perseus twice, and although I really like it, I was expecting a bit more from PdM. I'm happy to use up my 5ml before considering a full bottle, and only at a discount. There are better freshies such as Xerjoff Nio, Terre d'Hermes Eau Givrée and Dior Homme Cologne.
Hope you had a great vacation bro. Yeah the reviews on this one are all pretty much saying that it’s not that great. PDM and Initio were sold last summer to an investment firm so I don’t get too excited for their new releases. Blackrock destroyed Creed. I would almost say when an investment firm buys a niche house that it’s no longer niche. Let’s see what happens, I like a lot of Initio fragrances. Good review, I’ll definitely get a decant or maybe not, depending on the price.
So I'm hearing it is good and some love it. Some people don't like but I can't wait cause they are one of my favorite niche house and initio. They make dam good fragrance can't wait to try it. If I like it I'm buying it just like I did althaïr and narcotic delight. No offense but a lot of youtuber say a fragrance smells like this and it doesn't. Like narcotic delight some said it is side effect and Herod. Hell no it ain't. I don't like Roja Elysium so this might be a pass for me
See of everyone I have spoke with or reviews I’ve watched that has tried it everyone is mostly right in the middle. Good not great and alot of vetiver. It’s not really a love style of fragrance the way it’s built u either find it boring or your find it above average but it’s not a scent people in frag comm would add to their favorites unless they are a newbie as again it’s just not the way it’s built
Really? See for citrus frags across the board performance is already known to be around 6-7 hours on the high end which is lower than other types of fragrances but with Eau givree I haven’t heard of or had issues with performance u may be going anosmic as it’s one that lasts in the higher end 5-6 hours or so which you can’t expect any more than that with a summer fragrance like that
Fragrance is good but I think it's the worst of the fresh line up..personally but it's still a good fragrance, they're all good and I can see this being a summer staple for alot of ppl...but i certainly prefer Percival, Greenley and sedley BUT it's still good
Hey Randy, are you sure that was decantx? I don’t see it on their site and also the 10mls I’ve gotten from them in the past are in the tall skinny 10ml tubes and the label is always color matched to the bottle
@@FragranceDOUD ok thanks man ! I was just on decantx last night adding samples to cart so soon as I saw this video and you said that I went straight to decantx to check hahaha
@@FragranceDOUDyou mean 6h? what I find with Elysium is the citrus medley top tends to evaporate fast, and I can smell the metallic / soapy / leathery mid (yes, leather is a note) very quickly if I smell my wrist, for example
@@FlorinToader no I was saying the last six months especially I have found many citrus fragrances where the citrus lasts a good amount of time but yes with elysoum that is not the case
Tried it out and it’s nice but nothing amazing. Def not worth the price. It’s missing something like a sweet orange or maybe some aldehydes or watery notes
As you know I have the same thoughts on this one. Soooo much Vetiver

Ya guapo is even in the same category to. Def not a blind buy for this if u own them and even if you didn’t I think 10ml is good

You nailed this one, I’ll wait for the discounters to get this down to sub $160

@FragranceDOUD Yes sir I don't know if it is like Roja Elysium I definitely won't like it lol
@FragranceDOUD Yes sir! If it is like Roja Elysium and then it will be a pass for me
Yes Ive tried it multiple times and I dont think it's worth the price tag. 50/50 on greymarket
i also just bought Terre D’hermes Givree and I really like it. not the best performance though

@@FragranceDOUD i just got it so it probably needs some time to macerate

@@dabaddestdj2010 lol that’s why I kept saying it cause the day I made the video I was ordering on decant X just it was different samples not Perseus
Considering it's citrus, it will change fast.
Ya with a lot of frags not all tho. I’ve found many citrus frags this last 6 months or so that have citrus that actually lasts.

I dont have a terre de hermes fragrance is eau givree pretty good in longevity? My sotd light blue italian love stuff got more potent 🔥🔥🔥
I found this to be really boring and flat, I'm admittedly a fanboy of PDM but this really left me wanting more. Not bad, but forgettable.
