Reserve

I find this a green perfume....smells fresh and not unpleasant but the top notes can be very overpowering. I don't leave the house for at least 45 minutes... :-) The middle is the most delightful for me...the dry down is just ordinary but nice enough. The soapy fragrance does end the top notes...not crazy about smelling like soap..feel that way about some perfumes that make me feel like I smell like a grapefruit.

I've been wanting a perfume with a chamomile note for the longest time. This was a random gift from my husband and it's perfect. Fresh, lemony, green and exceptional for the workplace. Spring and summery. If you are looking for a chamomile note, this one is a nice one. Edit: every chemistry is different. The scent on me lasts and has stayed on my cardigan a couple of days.

Green and lemony is a great way to describe this! I agree with the people that said it should be labeled as green rather than floral. Maybe there are flowers in it but I can't really smell them. If this type of scent appeals to you, then it's a great perfume. It doesn't try too hard. I personally like it a lot. It's just very natural smelling in a citrusy/green way.

Reserve is in my top 3 of summer freshies.. a bright blend of green herbal and ginger with a beautiful honeyed chamomile swirling around the scent bubble.. The performance is better than some of overpriced hyped perfumes on the market. Reserve is a hidden gem imo : )

If there was a bottled scent of the Amazon...it would be this. A wet, mossy, adventurous tromp thru dense foliage, with an occasional whiff of botanicals. I love it! Although it reminds me of a heated jungle, I'm enjoying it under layers of cotton and a denim jacket.

This perfume surprised me with how lovely and fresh it is! It kind of reminds me of Calvin Klein's Euphoria at first, but it dries down into a beautifully fresh and green lingering fragrance. I love the subtle notes of sandalwood and patchouli!

Love! Bright, fresh, floral and clean. Surprised this isn't a 360 flanker as it feels cut from the same cloth. No wonder I love it. You're gonna have to pry the 90s freshies from my dead clutches.

amo este perfume huele rico y no es tan fuerte, tiene buena fijacion no es dulce es como fresco como q huele tipo talquito

Reminds me very much of Romance. It's very lemony/woody to me. Masculine. Clean. Very pretty - will keep.

I simply love this perfume I think that it has a nice fresh scent that really appeals to me...

Huele como a cascara de limon para mi; cascara de limon con un toque de vainilla dulce. No se mucho de perfumes, para ditinguir cada nota; es con lo que puedo relacionarlo. Dura un par de horas bastante detectable. Yo lo aplique en muñecas, cuello y un poco en la blusa bajo el cuello. Se detecta solo en la piel despues de ello; deja un aroma a vainilla y limon dulce. Es agradable, aunque puede cansar despues de un rato. Por lo cual es ideal su tiempo de duracion. It smells like lemon peel to me; Lemon peel with a hint of sweet vanilla. I don't know much about perfumes to distinguish each note; that's what I can relate it to. It lasts a couple of hours quite detectable. I applied it on wrists, neck and a little on the blouse under the neck. It is detected only on the skin after that; It leaves an aroma of vanilla and sweet lemon. It's nice, although it can get tiring after a while. A reason for its duration to be ideal.

I keep up with my laundry as much as the next person, but this perfume makes me think I hold the secret to having the best smelling laundry around. There’s something so clean, fresh and airy about Reserve. It seems to have a quiet confidence. Interestingly, what I’m smelling is different from the notes listed, although I agree with the list of accords. I’m not good at note picking - I do get the fizzy warmth of ginger, and the perky freesia, but I also get the impression of musk with a hint of calone. I wonder if this could be a component of the lotus note, although it’s not an aquatic perfume as such. Reserve starts off strong but give it time - it settles to a lovely, soothing, mellow scent. Quite the pick-me-up for spring and summer.

I used to own this years ago and I remember liking it, but not being something really amazing. I tested it out today and yeah, it smells green and fresh, not really floraly. My problem with this perfume is that it doesn't last on me. I used to spray and spray and spray and it totally disapears after a couple of hours. So much so I had to go back to test it again to remember what it smelled like. I had totally forgoten about it. The drydown is softer and less green. It smells mostly of patchuly with an spicy kick. Soft and unofensive (unless you dont like patch). I would consider buying it again if it lasted longer on me or if the sillage was better, cause, again, it just stays so so close to the skin to finally fade.

Very clean and fresh, perfect for spring and summer days. It has a subtle earthy note (a little bit like wet soil) that I enjoy so much and its very different from the citrusy perfumes that are commonly recommended for summer. Unfortunately it performs poorly on me: it lasts 3 hours at most and the sillage is weak, so i have to reapply often. Edit. After a while I've realized that it has a very good sillage and longevity. I don ́t know why I felt before that it had a poor perfomance. People notice when I wear it. And they like it. Is very green. I shines in the hotter days.

I really like this! It does remind of Romance by Ralph Lauren, but Reserve is less screechy and more likable on my skin. For those looking for something similar to Romance with a lower price point, Reserve is an excellent alternative. Usually, perfumes with ginger don't set well with me, but the sandalwood and violet offset this somehow. Patchouli is present in the drydown, gently amplifying green aspects of this perfume. Lasting power and sillage is average. The body spray is perfect for early morning walks on a cool spring day.

I like this since its close to citrus like america and its pretty universal. Then I like the original. I would buy reserve again I think.

This is not an 'aged' chypre fragrance – don't let the name, color of the bottle and notes fool you. Or, at least not anymore. I'm reviewing a bottle from 12/2024. It's a floral fragrance built around roses and violets: sweet and fresh, quite light too, despite the herbal background of oakmoss, violet leaves, with a touch of sandalwood – it gives 'after the rain' kind of a vibe. There is no harshness or bitterness (patchouli, marigold). Modern-ized, but still very well blended. However, I must add that it did age over time – the scent became more intense, but also sweeter, so much that I mostly do layer it with another green fragrance to give it some additional depth. Btw, if you had any naughty thoughts by looking at the bottle... so did the brand – with a name like Falic Fashion Group one would expect nothing less. But they did it stylishly, of course. Also, very inclusively – men and women (still) have plenty of colors and scents to choose from. Take your pick. ;)

Bought it, used a couple of times in the spring, and decided that it wasn't for me. This is a meadowy-sunny-fresh clean type of scent, and shines beautifully in spring, but in the summer it become too cloying and too... old fashioned, more suitable for 45-yo nurse or someone as motherly-gentle than me in my late twenties, looking for some edge and originality while staying professional.

I won't deny that this perfume smells really good when you sniff the bottle, somehow it smelled like pee on my skin. Perry Ellis Reserve and me did not get along really well. I was very sorry with my mom because she gave it to me on my 17th birthday (even bought the whole set) but she agreed with me that this fragrance wasn't for me.

I bought this unsniffed last year and I am still trying to get rid of it. Smells very "80s" to me and too green for my liking. My husband uses it as an air freshener because he knows I won't wear it. lol
