360 Degrees Blue for Men (200x)
by Perry Ellis

Not bad at first. The celery note doesn’t bother me, and there’s some warmth—some pleasantness in the opening accord. But when the second volley comes in, so do the synthetics. 360 Degrees Blue has that cheap drugstore vibration—especially in its use of lavender. The accords are artificial and gaudy. In the drydown, I don’t get much wood and none of the incense that is supposedly in it, which is too bad because I could have used a relief from the unattractive lavender accords. 360 Degrees Blue is poorly done. The original men’s 360 Degrees is an acceptable fragrance—this one isn’t. And, as far as Drakkar Noir is concerned, this is even more annoying than Drakkar. (Edit of 04 March 2007 review)

Ah ha! Drakkar Noir. I was wondering what this reminded me of. I detected a huge spicy (lavender) oakmoss and sandalwood and couldn't quite put my finger on it. That's what this is, a spicier alternative to Drakkar Noir and it's not too potent. In regards to the original 360, Blue seems to make the original spicier and tone it up a bit but is not too all together and "with it". Average about everything and I happen to like Drakkar Noir.

An EXCELLENT alternative to Drakkar Noir! I believe many of the Perry Ellis fragrances are designed to mimic other fragrances, e.g., Perry Ellis 360 White smells like Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier; Perry Ellis 360 Red smells like Acqua di Gio by Armani, etc. The one GOOD thing about Perry Ellis fragrances is that they LAST! They are good quality fragrances and don't lose their punch (we don't to not be able to smell them after five minutes do we?). Thus, they are a good value, and you will be surprised at the lasting power of ALL Perry Ellis fragrances, as compared to the newer and cheaper watered down fragrances of today. You won't be disappointed. This (PE 360 Blue), in my opinion, smells almost exactly like Guy Laroche's Drakkar Noir. I love it!

360 Degrees Blue by Perry Ellis is absolutely horrible and the most awful fragrance that I smelled in my life. Crazy smelling cologne! It kind of has a celery note in it that ruins everything. Opening notes are very similar to L’Eau Bleue D'Issey and that isn't much to brag on either! If you want to buy a Perry Ellis scent, please try 360 Degrees Red or White. Don't waste your money buying this fragrance.
