A perception means the ability to be aware of something with senses.
I am going to make up a sentence below.
(ex) The special design of the new church gives me a perception of tradition.
May I ask two questions?
(1) Does my sentence make sense?
(2) Am I using the right word to mean it gives me a feeling of tradition?
Thank you very much for your help.
(2) Am I using the right word to mean it gives me a feeling of tradition? 1) Not really. 2) No.

1) Not really.
2) No. But a feeling, a sense, or an impression might be good instead of a perception.
