Parfums De Marly Percival vs A&F Fierce vs Montblanc Legend | Fragrance Battle! (opens in a new tab)If I could still get percival at $130 i wouldn't think so much about it. but with it now being closer to $200 at discounters i think that montblanc legend is the way to go

Parfums De Marly Percival vs A&F Fierce vs Montblanc Legend | Fragrance Battle! (opens in a new tab)Percival is the best version of this DNA. Absolutely worth every penny for me at least. You can smell the quality difference but in terms of compliments, they all work the same.

Parfums De Marly Percival vs A&F Fierce vs Montblanc Legend | Fragrance Battle! (opens in a new tab)Since I own all three, I can safely say that they are so much alike that there is honestly no need to break the bank and buy Mont Blanc Legend.
YouTube comment@Scent_Scholar30% match, read from the wording
Parfums De Marly Percival vs A&F Fierce vs Montblanc Legend | Fragrance Battle! (opens in a new tab)Percival is just so much more than Fierce and Legend. It hardly bares much resemblance to either.
YouTube comment@Markxlll75% match, read from the wording
Parfums De Marly Percival vs A&F Fierce vs Montblanc Legend | Fragrance Battle! (opens in a new tab)Percival is an ambroxan bomb, masculine version of Fierce. Mont Blanc is more similar to Percival.
