Portfolio Elite for Men Perry Ellis for men

Alcohol heavy opening salvo quickly gives way to an attractive fresh apple minty floral that is very attractive and manages to smell the most natural of any of the Perry Ellis openings. Loc Dong injects a layer of white currant that certainly adds a balance to the more acidic elements of the green apple as Gypsy mentions, but it is also the interaction of the floral middles (lily and geranium) and the noticeable spicy touch of cardamom that creates a very light and sexy atmosphere that allows the apple to float over the top with ease.
Perry Ellis Portfolio Elite is beautifully blended and balanced, an excellent bargain and beyond just being a work fragrance like the original Portfolio, this one is far more versatile and can be used at night. In fact, there are no real limitations to PE Portfolio Elite, it has the makings of an excellent signature scent, though it does suffer from being extremely linear after the opening. Still, the projection and longevity are both exceptional, with 8-10 hours the norm on my skin.
Along with Perry Ellis 360 Red and Perry Ellis Reserve, Perry Ellis Portfolio Elite is one of the showpieces of the Perry Ellis line and can often be spotted at discount prices. One of the best affordable fragrances for men I have come across. Exceptional and certainly good enough to justify it elitist pretensions on the box.

Truely an attention getter. When ever I wear it I always get ask and I mean always get ask what do you have on. I need to get another bottle. I can not find in the stores anymore.

This is almost identical to Chanel Platinum Egoiste.

I do enjoy most of Perry Ellis fragrances but this is too herbal for my taste. This is a strong, woody-herbal fragrance most suited to wearing in Spring. If you like herbal fragrances this is for you. Excellent sillage and longevity.

There is nothing like this PE in my wardrobe. So anyway, the opening of this one is strangely strong. I just can't relate it to anything I know. When it begins to quiet down, I can smell white currant with something spicy. I can tell that the scent does get better as I let it develops into something uniquely sweet and sexy, but I just don't like the opening and I just don't have much patience, so this PE doesn't make the cut for me.

This takes the original and turns it up a notch and dresses it up and adds an interesting sweetness to it. This was meant to be the "fancy-shmancy" version of Portfolio but it is really so much more...

White currants (something like a cross between lychees and grapes)added to the green apple and smooth out its scent and takes the sour "bite" out of it, artemisia adds a bitter green that balances this sweetness perfectly.The caraway and cardamom spice it up a bit in th heart but do not get carried away due to the muguet and geranium. The top and heart blend seemlessly and I really can't tell where one ends and the other begins other than the spices & florals balancing out the bittersweet opening.The base notes, which you would expect(I did) to be overly oriental and mad woody are subtle, refined and rich. The tonka is warm along with the amber, the musk is light and clean, and the cedar, vetiver and oakmoss blend so well they are almost like one note sung by three different voices in harmony. The compliments really come with this one, and since it can be found in most discount stores at a decent price, pick one up because if you don't like it someone else will definitely appreciate this for a gift...

Sillage: good
Longevity: decent
Overall: 4.5/5

When I saw a .25 oz travel spray on a website on clearance for 1.95 USD I figured why not? This is a stunning fragrance and I will soon be getting a larger bottle. It takes the original and adds some exotic flare without getting too weird and comes up with something that can be worn out and makes an impression while not offending any delicate noses, or it can be worn around the house,just for you...this fragrance is pleasing without being too layered or complicated and IMHO should be in every man's collection...

smells good but too loud for me. horrible when mix with sweat.

Love the opening of the show... but wasn't too fond of the sharp, piercing tones it developed. I'm thinking it was the cedar and apple playing on the same team. Not horrible. In fact, it smells good... just not my style.

I found my bottle waaaay off in the corner of where I keep my colognes and wore it today...I hadn't wore it in forever, but now I feel like really appreciate the scent! It's so different from what I wore when I bought it and it still is. Very long lasting, and I've enjoyed it from the initial application all the way to the drydown. I have a couple that I just tolerate to get to the drydown LOL so it's nice to have one that I can fully enjoy from beginning to end, when it finally gets to it...lol

You can get it at fragrance X at an affordable price
