360 Degrees White For Men (2005)
by Perry Ellis

Le Male toned down and more synthetic leaning without the cinnamon, mint and lavender and holding its identity more in the middle notes and strong reliance on the vanilla. The citric elements listed in the top notes never really reveal themselves, this explodes into a vanilla and floral powder bomb quickly and stays linear throughout. In PE 360 the lilies of the valley and orange blossom echo the loudest and give it a more floral and lighter quality than Le Male. Le Male suffers a bit from being too heavy on the cinnamon and lavender for a powder fragrance and in this respect the lightness of Perry Ellis 360 White does work to its advantage. Still, Le Male is far more impressive and better constructed and layered. The dry down is less balanced, with a heavier reliance on the vanilla and thinner cedar than Le Male, which holds a deeper bass with the sandalwood and amber.
Still, this is a credible adaptation of Gaultier´s Le Male and an affordable alternative for those not willing to pay the sometimes exorbitant prices required for fifteen year old designer fragrances. Still, there are better copies of Le Male out there, see the cheaper Cuba Gold or the even lighter and more skin scent leaning Cubano Gold. Both do a better job of recreating the lavender essence of Le Male. Perry Ellis 360 White relies more on the vanilla, cardamom and floral elements in its interpretation Still, this projects fairly well until the 3-4 hour mark and then nestles in to skin scent territory before dying out around the 5-6 hour mark. The drydown is rather bland and can be cloying because of its highly synthetic construction and gaudy vanilla that dominates the cedar where in Le Male the amber and sandalwood provide more balance for the vanilla.
A very respectable and enjoyable fragrance never-the-less.

The spitting image of Le Male. Just cheaper. Only having some small differences.

Synthetic. It is not as dirty as Le Male, it is cleaner. Bergamot opening with the Mint and lavender combination still there. Fresh and slightly bitter, slightly vanillic quality. Some orange blossom but without that indolic, animalistic quality.

Good! I would wear this because of the price.

If you love your wallet as much as you love le male, then this is the frag for you. Also interestingly enough, le male doesn't project on my skin as well as this does. something to note would be that le male seems to have a more spicy feel up close whereas this scent remains the same at all distances.

Like most Perry Ellis scents, this one is a copy of a successful men's frag (Gaultier's Le Male). This one adds a berry note to the topnotes but otherwise it's the same juice as Le Male. What makes this more appealing than Le Male is it's cheaper and lacks of a "bulge" on the bottle.

This is a spicy, woody and sweet scent, that i like pretty well. The longevity and projection are very good, and it is a great winter wera, and can be used as a signature scent. The vanilla and musk are strong, and they are the stars of the show. Props to perry ellis for the fragrance, I do enjoy it, and it is, in a way, unique. It is almost like a gourmand, with that sweet vanilla. I actually really do not like gourmands generally (i.e Le male, Thierry muggler) but this is a nice alternative. So give this one a try. It is understated, classy, and very appealing in my eyes. Nice job Perry Ellis!

I did mot like the INITIAL spray out of the bottle. It seems as if they somehow concentrated the fragrance into the bottle. After the drydown, beautiful.
Its nice a quite powdery, but not too much.
Sharply smooth. Distinctive. Iactually anly wear it if I am indeed wearing white.
Yes, if you have Le Male, they are both quite similar, AND different.
This is a fragrance that one CANNOT overspray. Trust me.
