Mr. Citrus

Perseus by Parfums de MarlyParfums de MarlyPerseus3.992 ratings

I once worked in an upscale hotel as a chef. One day as we were prepping for a service I was assigned to compose a sample scallop dish. I started with a few citrus fruits. Grapefruit, blood oranges, tangerines, limes, oranges etc. l I grabbed the microplane grater from my bag and started zesting until I had a colorful mind of citrus zest. I then skinned each one and took the supreme from each one adding section by section to a child stainless bowl. I discarded the remains into a giant bin. As I was working this beautiful housekeeper came thru the kitchen that id failed to successfully flirt with on many occasions. She looked up, we caught eyes, she smiled and said how are you today Mr Citrus.

This sums up Parfums De Marly Perseus. Its bright with a multitude of citrus fruits dancing of your skin. Im 2 hours into my wear. Grapefruit and orange notes are most prominent black currant and bergamot are listed but aren't as prominent. This is a high energy good vibe wear. Optimal I see this on bright spring and summer days out and about. I feel like this is unisex as long as you like citrus. I'll update further into my wear.

    I had a bottle of this and regrettably sold it!

      Don't regret it, it may not have been right for you at the time or you possibly found something better.

    Loved reading this story Mister Citrus. Did you ever woo the beautiful housekeeper over with your culinary skills?
