Reviews of Perry Ellis for Men (original)| desmoface United StatesShow all reviews | I was a big fan of the original, so when I found a bottle of this cheap, I picked it up. Unfortunately, it's not the same; and it's changed for the worse. I'm fortunate enough to still have the original bottle with a small amount left, it has to be 20 years old. Still smells fantastic. 3rd December, 2011. |
| maccus AustraliaShow all reviews | The slight galbanum of the opening blends seamlessly with the bergamot initially to create a very pleasant composition until, suddenly the rose and the carnation and the vanilla erupt and cascade dominating what is to prove a protracted almost indefatigable longevity the accumulative effect of which is nausea and a headache. The dry down is equally cloying with waves of nausea giving way to simple regret but perhaps that is the moss note which dilutes the syrupy lingering tones though not nearly enough. It reminded me of Habit Rouge where a similar vanilla sweetness rises up from the middle and dominates the development entirely 18th March, 2011. |

| Calamus2K United StatesShow all reviews | At long last I've procured another bottle of the discontinued and very hard to find L'Elisir d'Amore! I date a lot of different young men and, without exception, they are all positively mad about this scent. None of them have any idea what it is that I'm wearing (and I wear it quite sparingly), but they’re always so intrigued by it that they constantly nuzzle up against my neck to take in its intoxicating aroma with very long, deep breaths, which they then exhale with a barely audible sigh........ Need I say more?? ‘Heaven, I’m in heaven.......’ 17th December, 2010. |
| ubergeek CanadaShow all reviews | It's too bad the original Perry Ellis for Men has been discontinued, as its replacement is a serious downgrade from this classic 80's chypre. Very strong carnation notes in the middle make this something of a unisex scent, but it nonetheless leans more towards the masculine side with the leather and oak moss base. Used sparingly it's an elegant, refined formal scent that's still quite wearable at the office. The fact that you can still buy the 5oz EDT for under $20 on The Net makes this one of the great fragrance bargains out there... for now. 28th May, 2010. |
