Where Refinement Meets the Wild Waters
Imagine a pristine Canadian lake at dawn, where mist rises gently from the water and the world seems suspended between sleep and wakefulness. The air is impossibly fresh, touched by aromatic herbs and the scent of ancient forests. And gliding across the still water, the Mallard—that quintessential Canadian waterfowl with its iridescent green head and graceful presence—creates ripples that seem to carry centuries of refinement and natural beauty.
In that moment, you understand: true elegance isn't about being distant. True elegance is about being present, about honoring both tradition and nature, about finding beauty in subtle balance.
Inspired by Percival
Refined. Balanced. Eternally Elegant.

The Experience
#81 Mallard is a refined Citrus Aromatic fragrance, inspired by the iconic Parfums de Marly Percival—a sophisticated eau de parfum that presents a subtle balance of citrus and aromatic notes on a woody base. This is perfumery that reinterprets lavender with disruptive, modern compositions while preserving the refinement of 18th-century royal perfumery.
The opening is a luminous, fresh invitation into refinement. Bergamot and mandarin sublimate through a touch of aromatic water, creating a unique combination that feels both crisp and somehow weightless. Pink pepper adds a subtle spiced warmth that immediately distinguishes this fragrance from ordinary citrus compositions. From the very first moment, you're transported to that pristine lake at dawn, breathing in air that tastes like freshness itself.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals its true character and depth. Refined lavender—that most noble of aromatic herbs—takes center stage, but this is lavender reimagined, reinterpreted through a modern lens. Geranium adds floral sophistication, while cardamom introduces unexpected warmth and spice. Coriander and cinnamon weave through the composition, creating layers of aromatic complexity that feel both familiar and utterly fresh. This is where Percival distinguishes itself—it refuses to be categorized as merely citrus or merely aromatic. It exists in the beautiful space between.
The base grounds everything in natural, woody elegance. Balsam fir—that precious forest ingredient—provides an absolute, creating a scent reminiscent of walking through ancient Canadian woodlands. Woody spices add depth and character, while tonka bean provides a subtle sweetness that never becomes gourmand or cloying. Musk and pepper add final layers of sensuality and movement, ensuring the fragrance maintains its presence and refinement throughout the day.

The Mallard's Grace
The Mallard is nature's embodiment of refined elegance and natural grace. It glides across water with effortless sophistication, its iridescent plumage catching light in unexpected ways. The mallard represents the ability to exist harmoniously between worlds—equally at home in water or on land, equally beautiful in stillness or movement. It embodies the principle that true beauty comes from balance, from honoring both tradition and nature.
#81 Mallard captures this beautiful duality perfectly. This is a fragrance for those who understand that refinement doesn't mean being aloof, that sophistication doesn't mean being disconnected from nature. For those who know that the most elegant people are those who can move seamlessly between formal settings and natural environments, who honor tradition while embracing innovation.
This is fragrance for those with discerning taste. For those who appreciate the subtle, the complex, the beautifully balanced. For those who understand that being refined means being present, being authentic, being genuinely yourself while maintaining grace and elegance.

this is the perfect winter scent omg. i dont know how luxume got it so close to tom ford but i am shook.. it smells like expensive cigars and sweet vanilla. 10/10
Ive tried so many br540 dupes from other shops and they always smell like pure alcohol or just fade in 5 minutes?? but this one from luxume is actually insane. it stays on my skin for hours and it feels so rich and sweet. definitely buying the big bottle next time... i am obsessed.
I bought three different scents and honestly every single one of them is a banger. i dont know how they do it for this price but i am not complaining... best discovery ive made this year for real.
Just got mine in the post and wow. simply wow. i was worried it would smell cheap but it feels so expensive and the bottle has a nice weight to it. definitely going to be a returning customer!

Our fragrances are expertly crafted to closely match the scent profile, performance, and character of the originals—without the high-end price tag. Most customers say they can barely tell the difference.
How long does the scent last?
All Luxume perfumes are Extrait de Parfum, meaning they contain a high concentration of fragrance oils. That gives you rich intensity and long-lasting wear—typically 8 to 12 hours or more.
Are your perfumes made with natural or synthetic ingredients?
We use a high-quality blend of both natural and safe synthetic ingredients—just like major luxury brands do. This ensures consistency, performance, and skin safety.
Do you test on animals?
Never. Luxume is 100% cruelty-free. We do not test on animals, and we only work with suppliers who share this commitment.
Where are your perfumes made?
All our fragrances are proudly made in Germany under strict quality standards, using premium-grade ingredients.
Is the concentration really Extrait de Parfum? What does that mean?
Yes, every Luxume scent is Extrait de Parfum. This is the highest perfume concentration available, offering a deeper, richer scent experience and longer-lasting wear compared to Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette.
