Portfolio Green for Men (2003)
by Perry Ellis

I've been wearing Portfolio Green off and on for almost a month now, and at this point I can say that I'm feeling rather neutral, but leaning heavily toward disliking it. Its opening is borderline unbearable, and predictably long-lasting. The scent opens with a saccharine lime and neroli accord that smells cheap and nakedly chemical. Thirty minutes later, things take a strange turn, and white floral notes take over. They're still sweet, but have a less synthetic edge, and this stage of the scent is its best. Two hours in, Porfolio Green has devolved from cheapness into total blandness, as nothing but tonka and a wood note that is equal parts scratchy and nondescript remain. This fragrance is relatively obscure and hard to find, but don't bother seeking it out. Its heart notes are competent, but unfortunately book-ended by a Perry Ellis boardroom budget.

I like Portfolio Green because is smells similar to Dolce & Gabbana for men, although I think D&G for men is stronger/potent, which I prefer. I'm tired of fragrances I can't smell after an hour. Don't get me wrong, ALL Perry Ellis fragrances have wonderful staying power. I just think that D&G is a little more to my liking.

First blast was cartainly a reminder of Dolce & Gabbana ph. Not a blatant copy like Realities by Liz Clairborne, but a few slight differences. Not as deep tobaccoey like D&G. Overall not a bad fragrance but it is a little cheap.
