Compare with another →The top dupe of Parfums de Marly's Percival is Perseus by Maison Alhambra, scoring 7/10 for accuracy and 7/10 for longevity. At $25, it's a 70% match to the $325 original — saving roughly $300 per bottle. Below: 1 more dupe scored across the same two dimensions, aggregated from Reddit r/fragranceclones, Fragrantica, and blind tests.
Brand-marketed as inspired by Percival, capturing the powdery iris and soft musk core quite faithfully at a fraction of the price. Longevity and projection are notably weaker, and the dry-down lacks Percival's depth and complexity.

Percival is one of the most widely duped fragrances in the modern market. Its widely recognizable profile has made it a popular target for house brands, Middle Eastern clones, and indie perfumers aiming for similar olfactory territory at a fraction of the price.
The Scent File Method →Based on community consensus, the highest-accuracy dupe for Percival is Floral Iris by Dossier (accuracy 7/10, longevity 6/10). If you prioritize longevity over accuracy, sort the grid above by longevity to see the top performer on that axis.
Every dupe is rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). Scores are aggregated from community consensus on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones, and Fragrantica. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
No. The Scent File takes no brand deals, no sponsorships, and no paid rankings. Rankings reflect community consensus only. We do earn affiliate commission when you purchase through our links at no extra cost to you — but this never influences which dupes appear or how they are scored.
