Portfolio for Men

very early 2000's smell very nice quality its almost pissing good. i dont run across colognes that smell like this anymore its a old 80's 90's quality to it very strong . i bought 2 back up bottles of the parlux batches before its gone for good as i think this is out of production . i had a very old bottle of the parlux version which i enjoyed & never tested the newer batches which are by flaic group or something i would stay away from those they had to have been ruined by reformulations . i have a large collection of colognes but still bought this again

Very clean and fresh, but the pear dominated opening notes are...interesting. I didn't really care for it at first, but I has grown on me steadily. Smells sort of like a mix between soap and laundry detergent, but in a good way. Not really a very versatile fragrance, though, since it seems to be best suited for work or daytime. I see it as a kind of fragrance for when you want to smell clean and put together, but not draw too much attention to yourself. Overall I would give it a 7/10.

A clean average quality fragrance. To me the basil and lavender dominate. The pear plays more of a supporting role. Has a warm soapy genre which acts as a great Swiss Army knife in any wardrobe. Was my go-to when most of my collection was bought at discounters. This definitely projects and gets attention. (can be negative if you over-spray.) Nothing else smells like this which gives it cool points. A sweet refreshing take on a soapy casual vibe. Pretty linear after one reaches the middle stage of this scent (a very musky dry down.) You have nothing to lose but a bit to gain by purchasing this.

I like it, but it is up for debate still. I mostly like it after it has dried down a bit and ditched a bunch of that crazy pear scent. I have had others with pear in them, but not this crazy amount. I think if they had doubled the basil and cut the pear in half they would have had something pretty amazing. In its current form, I think it makes a better "clean" scent for a woman... not that I am an authority on what a gender specific should smell like, because I wear a few women's perfumes as well. Update: This synthetic overabundance of pear is quite nauseating.

Smells like soap, but not in a bad way. Not offensive so I think this could be used in variety of settings, I just don't think I'd use it on a date. The bottle is pretty neat so it gets a few extra points for that. I do think I like PE Portfolio Green a lil bit better though. 7/10
