    Real talk

    Some citrus fragrances sacrifice depth for brightness. This one doesn't. With 8-10 hours of wear and moderate sillage that stays close rather than fills.Luminous Vivid
    Perseus is a solid daily driver if you want something that reads as fresh and put-together without being generic. The grapefruit and vetiver pairing gives it more character than most office-safe.Perseus
