Woody-Floral Chypre
------------------
Top Note: Bergamot, Lemon, Coriander, Artemisia, Juniper
Middle Note: Cardamom, Violet, Orris, Carnation, Cypress, Cedar
Base Note: Patchouli, Benzoin, Vanilla, Oakmoss, Canada Balsam
------------------
Woody, aromatic, spicy, herbal, fairly sweet — and a chypre. I find this a very appealing scent. Like most Hermès creations, this smells elegant. I can wear this to work, but it's also perfect for an evening engagement of a more personal character, dinner or a date; perhaps it would be most appropriate at an elegant soirée. One of things it does suggest to me is a night on the town. The juniper berries and cedar really take the lead with this. Lavender, spices and vanilla provide the underpinning and the chypre accord does the heavy lifting. Key words: Smooth. Elegant. Relaxed. Confident.

Continuing my run of designer scents today.

Perry Ellis Platinum Label

Guilty pleasures are those things that only we like that we know are not going to be thought of as great by anyone else. They are the movies we stay up too late watching that get one star. They are the bit of junk food we keep hidden in the back of the pantry. They are the teen pop song we sing along to in the car at the top of our lungs, when we are alone. If anyone asks we will sheepishly admit to our admiration of these guilty pleasures but we like to keep them hidden away. The thing that makes them guilty pleasure is these things we like are usually examples of things that are copycat and churned out endlessly but for whatever reason they resonate with us. I’m going to share one of my fragrant guilty pleasures with you the 2009 release Perry Ellis Platinum Label.

I was walking through my local Macy’s and was handed a strip and a sample of this during the 2009 Holiday season. I stuck them in my jacket pocket but the strip got enough on my hand to make me smell it for the next hour or two. My first impression was typical men’s clean and fresh composition. This was too bad because the first Perry Ellis for Men was one of the standout designer fragrances at the department store counter, mainly because it stayed away from the clean and fresh path. The funny thing was I kept smelling it over the next few hours and I started to like it more, enough to give it a spray from the sample on the back of my hand and this time I really liked it even though it was everything that clean and fresh has come to mean.

The top of Platinum Label begins with a mix of orange, bamboo, and rosemary. This is a typical citrus woody opening but the bamboo adds a lighter wood feel and the rosemary adds a herbal foundation to this that works for me. The heart is lavender and balsam and I like the choice to use the herbal character of lavender and the deeper woody character of balsam to intensify the two non-citrus notes from the top. The intensifying wood notes continue into the base as cedar takes its place alongside a typical masculine musk accord.

Platinum Label has average longevity and average sillage.

I can’t say Platinum Label has any particular quality that makes it more interesting than the slew of clean and fresh fragrances crowding the department store counter. For whatever reason it is the fragrance that I’m going to wear while listening to Taylor Swift in line to see the latest Sandra Bullock chick flick while eating a Ho-Ho. Vive le guilty pleasures!

Have a Tip-Top Thursday everyone

IMO, the finest Chanel masculine. Just perfect on a chilly, sunny day here in Miami. Last day in Miami, before my weekend trip to see my parents in CA!
