360° Red for Men

Perry Ellis · 2003

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Perry Ellis 360° Red for Men is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance where lime, bergamot and orange meet a touch of spice. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is mostly worn for leisure, daily use and business. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and its character reads clearly masculine. It opens with citrus up front, while cinnamon, nutmeg and clove add a spicy edge. Lavender and coriander seed sit in the heart, and vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli settle it onto a woody base. The overall impression is fresh, lightly sweet and aquatic. Hugo Boss Boss in Motion and Adidas Ice Dive have a close profile.

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

The top has lime, tangerine and blueberry, with grass adding a green edge. In the heart, nutmeg brings a little spice and lotus a floral lightness, while frankincense stays in the background. The base of amber, patchouli, oakmoss and musk turns sweet and woody. Fresh, citrus and aquatic accords lead the overall impression.

True Glow

7.1

Avon · 2008

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Avon True Glow opens with freesia, red apple and lemon, making a fresh, citrusy fragrance for women. Lemon and red apple give the first impression a bright, fruity edge, while freesia wraps it in a soft floral note. At the heart, passion flower sweetens the scent slightly. Musk and a woody trace finish it, so the whole stays clean, light and led by fruit and flowers. Fresh, citrus and floral accords dominate, with the sweetness kept in the background. Parfums d'Elmar Mahina and Biotherm Eau de Paradis have a close note and accord profile.

7.1

Perry Ellis · 1997

Fresh · Floral · Green

Perry Ellis Reserve for Women is a fresh, floral women's fragrance with a green, lightly creamy character; it has been discontinued. The scent reads as a whole that is fresh and floral.

Ginger and patchouli stay in the background, while oak wood gives a soft woody floor. The accords add a creamy and slightly synthetic air. The structure is fairly simple: florals up front, clean and never heavy. Ralph Lauren Romance (Eau de Parfum) and Zara Rose have a close profile.
