Aqua by Perry Ellis

Aqua de Perry Ellis is a marine citrus ideal for everyday wear, perhaps the most complete option I own, though I’m not sure if it’s the best. For now, it smells like that Giorgio Armani Armani Mania which is no longer available. Lasts 5 to 6 hours on skin, projects for an hour, and leaves a moderate to low trail. Costs between $50 and $70. Would I recommend it? Yes. Cheers.

Aqua de Perry Ellis, what a pity regarding the performance. It’s a perfect fragrance for feeling light, but it lasts nothing; it’s literally water. I love its accord and harmony; it’s a super light blend between flashes of Davidoff Cool Water and the incredible coriander from my legendary XS by Rabanne. What a shame that poor longevity.

⚠️DO NOT BUY⚠️ There’s not much to say, it smells rich and fresh, citrusy. It cost me $9 but doesn’t last more than 30 minutes. Even if you apply a lot or on clothes, it’s hard to detect. It’s cheap and smells good, but it lasts nothing. ⚠️Do not buy it⚠️

What a refreshing scent! The first time I tried it in-store, once it dried, it seemed pleasant, like jelly… It’s fresh, clean, and citrusy. Very good for the office or air-conditioned places, suitable for any season. It lasts me more than 4 hours. It came with a deodorant and together they make a good combination.

I’ve just finished this fragrance and I must say that, if it had more longevity and projection, it would be one of the best summer scents I’ve tried… It has a very fresh smell that revives you after a shower and works great on hot days, only that you have to overapply if you want to extend its duration… This fragrance can remind you of the freshness of the waves and gives you life, but only for an hour or maybe a couple if you’re lucky.

I bought this perfume directly from a Perry Ellis store for $15; it follows the brand’s Reserve line with lavender as the most notable note. This Aqua de Perry Ellis, apart from the lavender, feels very aquatic, citrusy, and fresh, but it has a drawback: zero longevity and trail. It’s a scent to smell up close to the skin, so I can’t recommend it. I finished the 100ml bottle very quickly because I overapplied it to feel more of its scent; when it was gone, I said goodbye and never again.

This isn’t the first time I’ve tried it in-store, but this time I experienced it more. I applied a good amount on my skin. Its projection and trail are low, something common nowadays. Its aroma isn’t distinctive; it’s common to many fragrances of this style, which is a point against. But I’ll mention three positive aspects: 1) Based on prices I’ve seen online, it seems to have a relatively lower cost than its competitors. 2) Whatever the case, it’s fresh and pleasant. 3) For lovers of aquatic and lavender notes, I think it’s a good example.

Exquisite fresh and clean at the beginning smelling like a man straight out of the shower. It’s very versatile: starts off energetic and alert but becomes romantic and intense over time. I gifted it to my partner and I can’t get enough of smelling it. For me Perry Ellis has the best longevity of all its fragrances but this one in particular has nothing spectacular in terms of projection and fades very quickly.
