Perry Ellis by Perry Ellis For Men

37 Male. Low star rating on this is laughable. 100% fall buy. $15 BUY IT! I do not understand the hate for this. Let me be blunt - you're an idiot if you don't buy this. This is one of the most oriental unique scents I've ever smelled. Gone to the malls a million times and still can't pinpoint any frag that's like this. Its an EASY wear. I prefer it in the cooler temps; 60s and below, autumn/fall. For work, or weekend chilling, or casual date nights. Longevity and silage are great. It starts off a sweet, and a little smokey to balance it out. Raisons inside a golden resin ball (I hate resinous sweet). I hate smokey. BUT this is fantastic. Then you get some wood and leather, but not overwhelming, just a nice blend. Finally a nice lavederish/vanilla. Not offense at all. Mind you, this is NOT the type of cologne I wear as a 37 year old man, and I do not prefer the above scents. Im a gym rat covered in tattoos with a beard. I prefer my fuck boy scents of versace man in the summer (starfruit freshy) and Vetivers for the other 3 seasons (hermes terre, givree (mineral), intense vetiver - malle vetiver extraditionair, chanel sycomore etc) I know quality frags. If I want to smell sporty I use Chanel Egoiste Platinum. Buying another bottle before its sold out and gone forever.

Not sure the hate on this one. Ive had this in my collection since its release. My bottles are from then, so thoroughly macerated. Its opening is a wonderful graprefruit juicy opening. Its very lightly floral with violet the dominanat floral note. The dry down has a very seaweed/dockside scent. Not overly salty, but a very seaweed algae like vibe and not in a bad way to me. Its fresh. Its breezy algae bloom waters with hints of juicy floral and wood accords. I think the algae/seaweed vibe is the reason for the love or hate on this one. Its sillage is fair, longevity is not long lived (2-4 hours) but cheap enough to respray without care. Its one of my favorite warm weather scents. Im not a big "blue" aquatics fan. This one leans teal for me and I think that is why I enjoy it so much.

I got the new Perry Ellis for Christmas, and I'm glad I did. Goes on fresh and citrusy, dries down to really nice notes of leather and sandalwood. It's more woodsy than spicy - the sandalwood is clean and just a little bit sweet, and the leather underneath smells like a really high-end leather jacket, or like leatherbound books. It doesn't have enormous sillage, and if you want to wear it both day and night, you may need to reapply (I get about 7-8 hours out of it)... but, for me, it works anyway, because it's not *meant* to be a "smell you coming, smell you leaving" kind of scent. It's meant to be the kind of scent where someone hugging you or standing next to you thinks you smell nice, and as that, it works perfectly.

It is very clean, and the relative sharp notes of citrus creates an interesting smell along with the leather tones. I was indeed very sceptical about this fragrance. Although I can understand why people really dislike it, I find it refreshing having something as unique as this scent. It smells like nothing else I have ever smelled. This is probably one of those "love or hate" fragrances that only is successful after the user has tested it on his skin for a while. Like the bottle design very much and the spray mechanism is relatively good. Try it, but DO NOT "blind" buy it.

i owned the original version and it smelled great ... got compliments from my friends and girls at the club said i smelled good ... i've recently bought the relaunched version because i enjoyed the original so much... they smell very similar but it seems to be weaker than i remember... and i have to admit, i don't seem to like it as much as i used to ... one of the reasons, i may not like this scent as much as i did before because i've evolved and progressed to better smelling colognes ... so colognes i used to like and thought smelled good, now smell a lil cheap and bad ... so i'm a lil torn, i still have fond memories of my younger days at the club wearing this cologne, but i will probably never buy this cologne again in my life.
