Portfolio

I bought this untested. As I have always loved my Perry Ellis purchases I figured it was a no brainer. I was right. Compared to my signature fragrance Perry Ellis 360 (which is modern and non-floral), this is romantic and dressy with heavy floral. I am doubtful this will become a signature perfume for me but it is definitely one I am glad I made. The Perry Ellis line of fragrances are inexpensive but smell great.

I love this perfume. Inexpensive but beautiful. Sweet roses galore.

It is a non offensive, easy to wear, and indeed very nice fragrance. It smells rossy, sweet, velvety fresh, and woody (warm comforting sandalwood). This is what i would wear when i want to smell nice, pretty, and happy with my ordinary days. Sometimes you just want to enjoy yourself in peace without making any statements or attracting too much attention, don't you?

This is very nice. It smells like roses with a little bit of citrus and green. Very wearable and won't offend anyone.

Perry Ellis Portfolio deserves more attention. It's an elegant, clean, dressy rose with a nice sandalwood base. Blackcurrant makes the rose darker, while vanilla deepens and sweetens it. Just gorgeous and extremely wearable. And unlike any other scent I own. Light to moderate sillage but good longevity. I don't get tired of this or become anosmic. It's quietly by my side all day. My only criticism is the cheap looking plastic cap. A scent this nice deserves better packaging, yet I suppose that's how they keep this affordable. And after all, there are plenty of expensively packaged and heavily marketed scents that don't come close to this one in beauty. Creed Floralie comes to mind immediately. Do you ever stop to think that perfumes are a lot like people? We judge the bottle, the outward covering, the marketing, prestige, and reputation; sometimes these perceptions skew our judgment of what's really on the inside. Plenty of my favorite scents, the ones I want to hang out with all day, the ones I am loyal to, don't come in the fanciest packages - but of course, some are expensive and in pretty bottles. Same thing with my friends: some do come in fancy "bottles," but others are in plain looking "packaging." Sorry for the moralizing. ...strange I never saw the correlation before.
