18

I got PE 18 in the body spray, so this review is for the mist. First of all, I love it! But I'm a fruity, fresh, floral kind of girl, so I'm biased. To me this smells like Versace BC, My Burberry Blush, and Pleasures for a fraction of the price! And I've owned all three, so I'm very familiar with those scents. (The dry down of MBB is pretty much identical to this scent.) It's so refined and PE did a job well done with the blend of this fragrance. With that being said it is a little out dated because it smells like the early 2000's, but I'm a millennial, so that's my time period (again, biased). It's really green, but aquatic, like cucumbers, and floral, but again, a watery floral. It also smells fruity, but more aromatic fruits, rather than sweet fruits, and again watery, like the wateriness and crispiness in the fruit. No vanilla, no woods, no warmth. Just fresh, crisp, aromatic, and aquatic. Great for the gym or for the summer everyday scent. Love!

When I first got a big 100ml bottle of this as a blind internet buy a few months ago I was slightly disappointed in that, even though I like raspberry in a perfume in this the raspberry seemed a little strong and the perfume overall seemed overly fruity and not unlike spritzing on a fruit cocktail! I've tried this on again today though and now the perfume seems better to me. Yes, it's still fruity, and very raspberry'ish, but the sandwalwood and vanilla give it more depth than I'd initially detected so now it smells less fruit cocktail'ish to me and the vanilla gives just the right hint of creamy sweetness. Also, it smells slightly clean and soapy to me, which is something I really like, plus it's lasted for ages on my skin without being too strong. So, all in all this was a successful blind buy and very good value as I only paid about £18.00 for the big bottle. So, I've now decided this one's a keeper for me!

I find it quite light yet deep and it brings me a feeling of serenity: another meditation scent!!! (I associate certain fragrances with meditation since both are a passion of mine . ) I am wearing it at the moment and lovely whiffs of fresh cut blooms and lily of the valley surround me. Bright like sunshine, crisp like a Spring breeze, and made mouthwatering by the juicy note of sweet raspberry and soft 'iced' pear. It is light, very unlike the original to my nose , very classy and understated yet elegant and long lasting. I get many compliments on this one, though when asked what I am wearing, I forget, lol... It is one of those scents that linger lightly but for a long time and dry down with silky creamy sandalwood and a light trace of vanilla. Loving it on this late summer morn! xxx

Good good good. I really like it and recomend it to anyone.

This scent is so beautiful. I’ve come to love it for the airiness and clean vanilla drydown. It’s one of my favorites to wear to bed and wake up to. What a unique, underrated gem, well conceived and structured. I love the sleek, softly industrial bottle, too. Very airy, watery, soapy, clean, and fresh. It’s a huge departure from the chypres and heavy amber florals I gravitate toward. Aquatics and most lilies are my least favorite notes, but I’m starting to understand and appreciate them more. Overall, this reminds me of J’Adore, Diamonds and Sapphires, and Curious. The longevity is surprising - 10 hours. It’s appropriate for daytime and office, for anyone who likes fresh and airy scents. While it is a warm/hot weather type, I think it may be something special in cold weather. PE18 is much better than the price would indicate.

This evokes thoughts of meeting a friend for a patio brunch on a warm spring day wearing a sundress and sandals. I'm rarely happy with a blind buy but this was an exception. lt's not my typical scent but it hits the mark for a casual, soft, clean vibe. Not childish but not complicated. Reminds me of Endless Euphoria (another blind buy) minus the mandarin orange. Soft floral, not overly sweet. I literally put one on each arm and did a sniff test over time before writing this review. This one tends to stay floral where as Endless Euphoria trends to lean toward the citrus. But definitely very similar. The downfall of both of these perfumes is neither one of them has staying power. Although this one did last longer than E.E.

I just spritzed this at Ross the other evening - sampling the Body Spray in this fragrance. This is really nice, it has a blend that reminds me of the sweetness of coconut milk - this is an attractive, sweet, spring/summer type perfume that would be great for warm or hot days. This feels like a vacation fragrance, something that is casual and fun - not overly complicated. Pretty, fashionable, nice, upbeat --a great perfume when you are wanting something that uplifts your spirits!

I don't see how this is supposed to be an updated interpretation of 360. It smells nothing like it. This is like a huge bouquet of fresh cut blooms, sweet and fresh. I wonder if there are notes missing from the pyramid. I smell the freshness of lily of the valley and peony, neither of which are shown here. This is a well done, bright, crisp floral.

My first perfume alongside Orchid 18, I can't hate her, it's floral without being nauseating and I can appreciate that, My tastes have drastically changed since I got 18 but she's still a goldie in my eyes, I do however prefer Orchid as it's a lot more sweeter IMO.

Light & Airy yet long lasting It's an everyday fragrance that uplift you. Mojito makes it sparkly sweet & water lily makes it clean and soapy. The first spray can be a strong alcohol smell but give it time and it will settle.

Floral fruity summer everyday fragrance ... good for work ... its very zen can be worn any time of the day even on events ... not bad i like it ... was gifted this almost done with it ! I like it !

Light n clean smell also remind me Pleasure by Estee

I really enjoy the original 360, but I personally wasn't very impressed by this. It's not at all unpleasant, but I don't find it as crisp or evocative of 90s summer (in the best way) as the original. It's very, very femme, but not stuffy. Yet, the lily in here is a little screechy and it dominates most of the experience. There is a herbal tone too, but I wouldn't have guessed at "mojito" or anything remotely similar. It just smells like it has a lot of greenness and it doesn't at all fit with the color of the bottle here. I actually don't think the raspberry is a very influential piece of the composition. I don't usually say this, but I believe this fragrance could've used a larger dose of fruit to help offset the loud lily. I don't dislike it necessarily, but it was easy to pass on this.

A few days ago I wrote a review about this perfume, and today I realize that I like it very much!, its a very clean scent, very feminine and a little sweet (not sugary at all), definitely you can feel the raspberry note, the pear feels very softly, It has a leafy scent that gives it a delightful freshness. It ́s not the best scent I ́ve ever smelled, but definitely is one of my favorites. 8/10

I just bought this perfume 30 minutes ago, and I have to say I liked it, at first smacks too much alcohol, but 5 minutes later becomes a pleasant aroma, it shows raspberry and mojito, and leaves a soft scent skin. It's not sweet at all, and is ideal for everyday, for special days prefer other scents. I give it a 6.5 / 10.

This is a review of 18 ORCHID I bought this from Perry Ellis website with 18 original and 360 pink. Well, this is the most wearable for me out of three mentioned above.( I have Sensual too, Sensual is my favorite out of three 18 line) It's light fruitchouli. Patchouli here is a little too much for me. Maybe I want more fruit or sweet flower. Still wearable though. ( For reference, I love Flowerbomb, Hanae, Korres's Vanilla Freesia Lychee but I don't like Angel) I can't smell much floral note here. Just hint of orchid. I can smell some sweetness(cumarin maybe?) and lactonic notes. No jasmine, no amber, no vanilla. Longevity is kind a short(Shorter than 18 original) Silage is kind a small(smaller than 18 original) Description from Perry Ellis website: Exotic fruits and seductive florals are infused with hints of greens and woods for a rich, sophisticated signature. The sparkling freshness of Italian bergamot bursts with irresistible dewberry while passion fruit nectar sweetens the zesty and vivacious top notes. The narcotic scent of night blooming jasmine infused with wild orchid and the seductive warmth of liquid amber awaken the heart of the fragrance.The creamy, woody notes of Indonesian patchouli and gourmand effects of vanilla and tonka bean leave an everlasting trail of elegant femininity.

I bought this from Perry Ellis website. This is very soapy,very sharp LOTV like other reviewer said. Despite of sharp note, silage isn't so big, longevity is fine(not so long but not short either) I expected raspberry but I couldn't detect. I smell sour note though. Overall, I don't like this . It's too aggressively soapy/clean (not aldehydic, not white musky) to wear as it is. Anyway, I layered this with Rihhana's RiRi. It's good. So use this with other perfume.

Very first whiff: Rubbing alcohol, garden flowers and pit stink. Aquatic, fresh, floral, slightly fruity. At minute fifteen, sandalwood and vanilla joined in, but with lesser force. An hour later: I easily distinguish (what I believe to be) Mint, Water Lilly, and Pear. This is a grown-up fragrance and has curiously low projection despite it's sinus-clearing abilities. Unfortunately, the pit stink persists throughout.

Me parece un olor muy fuerte, muy sintetico, no me gusto. I think a very strong smell, very synthetic, I do not like.

💲I purchased this in a set: 1.7oz EDP + 4oz body mist for about $16.99 at Ross 👃Very fizzy. This is a zesty sexy scent, but manages to stay wearable for work. I think it’s the sandalwood that grounds it, but the star of the show is the water lily. I put on the perfume before leaving home in the morning & the body mist with me, but don’t end up using it . The perfume lasts really well throughout my shift and I never have the need to refresh. In fact, I have noticed that on hot/humid days, the warmth tends to reactivate the fragrance and takes it back to the same potency as when I just sprayed it on.

Fruity, aquatic and floral. Smells fresh like strongly fragranced soap. Liked it at first when I spotted it at Shoppers. Now I think it's too strong. Generic enough for office but I fear it's too big a sillage to be worn there. I mainly use it up as room deodorizer. One spray on me Sillage: about a foot with lots of trail Longevity: about 2 hours and gets softer but induces a migraine on me Rating: 2/5

My granny gave me this for Christmas a few years ago, and I wasn't sold on it. All I smelled was alcohol. I just went and grabbed it, spritzed it on some paper, and let it sit for a few minutes. I like it once it's settled. Its a fresh, fruity scent, tho still a bit like alcohol. Not my favourite, but I don't hate it. It reminds me of the Body Shop's Water Lily scent.

nice, clean flowery scent. initial fruity blast slowly morphs into a summer-y garden scent. not in-your-face at all. the balance of vanilla and sandalwood at its base is very nice indeed. both female and male versions of the scent came out in 2006; there is no review for PE 18 men here at fragrantica, but you can find reviews for the male version at basenotes.net.

Don't like it. It is very harsh at first, and smells of cheap soap w/ a touch of funk. I tried this like 3 different times just to be sure my nose wasn't having an off day. Nothing special about it. Smells like it was on sale at the pharmacy. I've tried 3 different Perry Ellis scents, and didn't like any...

Es un aroma suave, sin ser muy pretencioso, dulce y algo floral. Me agrada porque no es un perfume comun. Puntos a su favor: - durabilidad - precio - olor Puntos en contra: - proyeccion - quiza sea un aroma para personas un poco mayores (30 años)

It has raspberry and water lily and not too strong. It sort of reminds me of one of the Euphoria scents. It's not a real sophisticated exotic perfume with blended notes. This can be found at a budget price and works for everyday fragrance fix.

hmm... it's okay, good lasting power, smells like the body shop's aqua lily, but it lacks something to me, the fruity is overthrown by the flowery, maybe I just expected it to be more fruity than flowery. Nonetheless, still good for daily use.

The opening smells like Estée Lauder Pleasures, but the dry down is very generic (think Paris Hilton Gold Rush). I’m glad I blind-bought at a rack store because at least I can return it. Overall an inoffensive scent.

Light, but razor sharp, high pitched lily of the valley rather than the soft water lily listed. Also smells like grapefruit. If you like an ultra feminine yet bracing scent this is for you.

Ok, missing the 18 for men here. Comes in blue packaging and blue bottle wrapped in thin plate of aluminium. Just as good as all other perry ellis perfume comes with quality.

I have this one up to 2 bottles. I like it and is very nice scents for my nose. Very powerfull long lastin, Only 5 spritz for all of the day :)

I love this fragrance. But at the first, smelled alcohol. Then flowery. But that's fine. Stll love this one. And its long lasting

Really nice, inoffensive fruity fragrance. Got a vial and now in love. It is a bit mature and would be good for everyday wear.

Me encanta el perfume, es suave y rico, muy delicado, es de los pocos que me gsutan...

First time, it smelled alcohol. But then flowery. It's long lasting. N i love it.

How strange that Perry Ellis 18 for Men is not showing up on fragrantica.

Why isn't there a review for "18" for Men?

Too strong. It gives me headaches.
