360 Degrees for Men (1995)
by Perry Ellis

Influenced by Eternity, Kenzo and Hugo Boss and their blending of herbs, citrus, spice and fresh accords, Perry Ellis 360 smartly takes the lavender, sage and juniper of Hugo Boss´s Hugo and Calvin Klein´s Eternity and then layers a strong front of cardamom and synthetic sensual woods on top to create something quite unique and top heavy. 360 is aggressive, harsh and bold but it never oversteps its boundaries, coming dangerously close in the opening but calming quickly to a fairly linear lavender, juniper and woods juice with just the right amount of cardamom spice to stand out.
Perry Ellis 360 takes a bit of time for your senses to adjust and appreciate. This is not the type of scent you will immediately fall in love with, but something that requires a few wears or a more experienced and tried nose to fully appreciate its originality and solid blending of organic and synthetic notes.
This is a strong and aggressive fragrance that can come off a bit harsh and astringent at first but dries down into a wonderful sensual wood accord that is neither harsh nor natural but smells quite attractive never-the-less. I wasn´t impressed with Perry Ellis 360 at first, but grew to appreciate it as I explored other 1990´s fragrances inspired by Calvin Klein´s Eternity. This is certainly one to be appreciated by for anyone who enjoys Hugo by Hugo Boss, the original Kenzo, Polo Sport or even Davidoff´s Cool Water. The herbs and spices are done very well in this one, it reaches a nice balance of synthetic and natural that is very hard to pull off.
Not for everyone, given the roughness of the juniper and cardamom against the lavender and sage, but for those looking for a bit more daring and boldness, Perry Ellis 360 is a great affordable option with solid projection and longevity (6-8 hours).

I love this cologne. Its sharp lavender/citrus smell that comes at you with a woodsy drydown. I get compliments from women and men when wearing this, so its pleasant.

A note of caution as others have mentioned, do not over apply this cologne. Finally its a very linear scent so it loses points for that. However I still recommend it.

Ignore the fact that this was released in 1995 (the aquatic era) and that the juice is blue. This is NOT some weak ass aquatic or sports fragrance.

This is a tough, bold woody and spicy men's fragrance that is very reminiscent of the daring Krizia Uomo, without the patchouli. 360's accord of juniper and woody notes makes for an astringent, jagged wear, but its boldness is its greatest appeal. There are some synthetic smelling notes mixed in with this, but they don't ruin the overall aggressive woodiness of this scent. The overall woodiness of 360 is not as natural smelling as, say, Cypre-Musc, but I think 360 balances both the synthetic and the natural notes very well, and this makes for a very interesting and quite daring fragrance. I was very surprised at how good this is.

MY RATING: 7/10

Dating myself, but really liked this one (still do) and wore PE 360 in high school and because of that now think the smell is a frag. for teens. Scent is basic in that it is not very sophisticated but seemingly lasts forever. I think the cirtus top notes are the most noticeable. Very fresh !

WARNING :

Citrus, lavander and 'woody' notes make this a VERY STRONG AROMATIC !

Don't apply too much or you will Karate chop people's noses around you !
