What does Perry Ellis for Men (1985) (Cologne) smell like?

It opens fresh, green and citrusy with galbanum and bergamot. In the heart, clove adds spice and rose a soft floral touch. The base is led by sweet vanilla, leather and moss, settling into a powdery, earthy, slightly animalic chypre feel.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it sits best in the evening or on a night out. Its character is seen as masculine and classic. Parfums de Marly Lippizan and The Dua Brand Distance have a close profile.
