About Perceval
Perceval by YAMM Genève: A Chivalrous Fougère for the Modern Man
Perceval, the latest launch from YAMM Genève, takes men on an aromatic journey steeped in Arthurian legend. Introduced in 2024, this scent belongs to the aromatic fougère family, marrying freshness with woody depth.
Master perfumer Florian Vicario has crafted a composition that honours the legendary knight while feeling thoroughly contemporary.
The opening of Perceval is a lively affair, with bergamot, lavender, geranium and mandarin taking centre stage. The citrus notes sparkle, while lavender and geranium root the blend in a timeless fougère tradition.
As the fragrance settles, a more intricate character appears. Coriander and cinnamon add a gentle warmth, while jasmine and violet bring a soft floral nuance. The inclusion of Hedione – the renowned jasmine-like molecule – lends an airy radiance that makes the heart truly sing.
The base unfolds with balsamic fir, amberwood, clearwood, ambroxan and musk, forming a cosy, woody and faintly powdery drydown. It's a grounding finish that feels both refined and reassuring, with impressive staying power on the skin.
Perceval is a study in contrasts: aromatic yet woody, fresh yet spicy, citrusy yet musky. A veil of powdery softness ties it all together, allowing the fragrance to develop beautifully over time – from an energetic start to a calm, elegant close.
The tale of Perceval is one of quest and discovery, and this fragrance mirrors that journey. It offers a seamless bridge between classic fougère codes and modern perfumery, making it suitable for a wide range of moments and moods.
This is a fragrance for men who appreciate a well-balanced fougère with a contemporary twist. Perfect for those who love aromatic, woody and mildly spicy scents, and who need a perfume that moves effortlessly from a business meeting to an evening out.
Perceval is a beautifully composed addition to the YAMM Genève line. With its intelligent blend of heritage and innovation, it makes for a memorable wearing experience – a fitting tribute to its legendary name.
