- Reddit consensus views Lattafa Art of Wood as a recognizable take on the Perseus DNA, though users agree it is not a direct 1:1 clone.
- Reviewers note it offers an orangey, peppery, and woody vetiver scent profile, with some reporting it develops a sweeter, creamsicle-like vanilla note over time.
- With discount prices around $25, the fragrance is considered an affordable, unique twist that some users even prefer over the original.
“I also have a 3ml PDM Perseus decant and yes, this is spot on. IT'S NOT 1:1!!!! It's just undeniable what it's suppose to be cloning.”

reddit post ↗“Art of Wood - If this is what Perseus smells like, I may devote the money to a bottle. This is a punch of pepper, oak moss, and vetiver straight to the nose out of the gate. Damn this is good!”
reddit post ↗“Overall underrated even better as the OG for me”
