#81 Mallard | Inspired by Parfums de Marly Percival

#81 Mallard is a refined Citrus Aromatic fragrance, inspired by the iconic Parfums de Marly Percival—a sophisticated eau de parfum that presents a subtle balance of citrus and aromatic notes on a woody base. This is perfumery that reinterprets lavender with disruptive, modern compositions while preserving the refinement of 18th-century royal perfumery.

The opening is a luminous, fresh invitation into refinement. Bergamot and mandarin sublimate through a touch of aromatic water, creating a unique combination that feels both crisp and somehow weightless. Pink pepper adds a subtle spiced warmth that immediately distinguishes this fragrance from ordinary citrus compositions. From the very first moment, you're transported to that pristine lake at dawn, breathing in air that tastes like freshness itself.

As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals its true character and depth. Refined lavender—that most noble of aromatic herbs—takes center stage, but this is lavender reimagined, reinterpreted through a modern lens. Geranium adds floral sophistication, while cardamom introduces unexpected warmth and spice. Coriander and cinnamon weave through the composition, creating layers of aromatic complexity that feel both familiar and utterly fresh. This is where Percival distinguishes itself—it refuses to be categorized as merely citrus or merely aromatic. It exists in the beautiful space between.

The base grounds everything in natural, woody elegance. Balsam fir—that precious forest ingredient—provides an absolute, creating a scent reminiscent of walking through ancient Canadian woodlands. Woody spices add depth and character, while tonka bean provides a subtle sweetness that never becomes gourmand or cloying. Musk and pepper add final layers of sensuality and movement, ensuring the fragrance maintains its presence and refinement throughout the day.

The Mallard is nature's embodiment of refined elegance and natural grace. It glides across water with effortless sophistication, its iridescent plumage catching light in unexpected ways. The mallard represents the ability to exist harmoniously between worlds—equally at home in water or on land, equally beautiful in stillness or movement.
