Perry Ellis f (2004)
by Perry Ellis

This is pretty outstanding among the Perry Ellis lineup. F reads like a soft, warm floral but is really a voluptuous rose floral with an 80's-esque musk base like those found in scents like Catalyst and Ysatis. Because F is less packed than the others of its kind (but by no means thin or light) it is as modern as is it reminiscent of an all but bygone style. The drydown is a musky wood with the p e r f e c t touch of cinnamon and the ghost of the rose top haunting it beautifully until it fades away. It's also quite the performer - the sillage is good without being too pushy like musky florals are wont to be, and one spray lasted about six hours on me. Highly recommended for rose lovers.
