Fresh and green
Percival indeed resembles Abercrombie's Fierce. There are some differences though: Percival is a tad more serious (Fierce has a sweet note that makes it somewhat more fit for younger audience), and it comes of richer, as if it seems to have a broader and more articulate profile. Both have great longevity (i am referring to an older formulation of Fierce).
I like this scent profile. It is a bit different from the usual aquatics, a bit greener I think, but still by all means fresh and energitic.
Too bad my girlfriend doesn't like it. I do. :)

Don't know if I like it
Ani is a green vanilla, that is pretty unique. Perfectly unisex, but surely not too feminine for me.
I have bought Ani about a year ago. I liked the sample enough for a full bottle. I still think it is a good crafted fragrance, but on my skin it becomes a bit chemical. Not too pleasant. I am wearing it today and a few times I got a waft that I disliked.
On clothing though, it is rather good. Long lasting, as well. So this is a bit of a dilemma for me: should I keep the bottle (and spray more on clothes than on skin) or sell it?
A big thumbs up for originality and longevity.

Ok....
I was eager to try Orom, as I have smelled all other fragrances from the le Gemme line (except Kobraa!).
Well, my first impression is.... ok. It is quite soft and introvert, with an emphasis on a dusty oud, rather than vanilla. The vanilla is unmistakenly present, though. It reminds me of Mancera's Vanilla Oud.
This sure isn't a creamy gourmand, what I was hoping for. Not bad, but nothing special.
7/10
Today is my first full wear. Ok, it was a tad bit better than I expected --> 7,5/10 :)

Thicc dare devil
Shem wasn''t a love at first sniff for me. It came over as a bit muted, introvert. Also I did not like the composition.
But there was something about it. A few times I just suddenly thought, without actually smelling it, about the scent profile (without knowing that I was thinking about Shem). So I was jus walking somewhere and I thought: "oh yeah that is a good smell. What is that again? .... It is Shem!"
I ended up buying it and it is great. Thick, daring, bold. I think one spray is enough, I dont think I will ever wear it to the office.. :)

Classic
Egoiste is one of the best, maybe THE best designer fragrance ever made. It is versatile but also has some specific characteristics: charismatic, warm, inviting, sweet.
I like it a lot but tend to be careful with my prereformulated bottle. Haven't tried the recent one, though.
I slight disadvantage is that it can be a bit rubbery/synthetic sometimes.
What would be an ultimate hit? Chanel Egoiste - Parfum. I would buy the heck out of it.
But then again, the edt is very nice too.
8,5/10
