This is such a happy outgoing scent! It just puts a smile on my face and makes me happy! Unfortunately it only lasts 2 hours on my skin so I have to spray it on my clothes. It is a good idea to buy the small 1 oz bottle so you can just carry it around with you and spray whenever needed. But out of all the fresh scents that I have put my nose to, this is definately the clear winner. If you are looking for a fresh scent definately put Perry Ellis Reserve on your list.

This is boring and unremarkable and wears too close to the skin. Although it's fruity and kind of pleasant it still demands a thumbs down for an odd, plasticy, synthetic basenote. I do need a formal scent, but this is WAY off the mark.

This smells just like... Avatar! Yes, Avatar with a bit of a pepper note to it and the potency turned up a slight bit.

The best of the 360 line (this bottle shape is considered the 360 line).
It opens somewhere between Swiss Army Altitude and Jaguar Performance. If you don't know what these smell like, think bright slight green/blue fresh but not harsh with a hint of mint. It stays fresh for about 3 hrs (in cold weather) and then a warmth appears...it envelopes you in a nice masculine aura before the clean synthetic musky dry down appears.

Imagine prom night...there is all the fan fare of getting ready and getting there...that's the opening: a mixture of excitement and a little stress. Then there is the warmth/aura thing, and that is you "gettin' loose" and getting your grrove on, knocking down the suds: that's the mid notes. The drydown is when you take 'her' back to the hotel...P Ellis has been nice enough to add a little wannabe pheromonic (think of the annoying synthetic note in Curve) teenage energy for some hot and heavy action. Not bad.
