Portfolio for Men Perry Ellis for men

This is a decent fragrance that I think is best suited for the younger crowd. PE Portfolio does come off a bit synthetic. The pear smell just turned me off a little. At the time this was my 1st encounter with pear. I have since sampled other colognes with pear and I think I just don't like pear in my fragrances.

Attractive pear dominated opening that though a bit heavy on the synthetic side doesn´t overpower and unfortunately fades all too quickly from the scene once the musk comes to the front in the dry down. Conceptualized as a work fragrance and for that purpose well executed. Inoffensive, a bit sweet and musky with no really overpowering green elements that could induce allergies or bad vibes.
Synthetic lavender similar to the one in Perry Ellis 360 Blue but far more restrained starts to assert itself in the middle notes five minutes in and pushes the blast of synthetic pear aside. For a minute or so the lavender is very astringent and cloying, before calming down when the base notes assert themselves.
The musk creeps in 10 minutes into the scene and absorbs some of the harsh synthetic lavender and pear accords and from that point on projection begins to falter but never really slips into skin scent territory until deep into the dry down.
Perry Ellis Portfolio is a musky, soapy middle-of-the-road release with no real presence or personality, perfect for the modern, politically correct American office space where impressions are assumed to be threatening. Instead what you get in this one is a musky dryer fabric sheet scent during the dry down that dominates the fragrance for most of its life and surprisingly holds on to the skin for a full work day. Very solid longevity for a light fruity fragrance, lasts 6-8 hours, though unremarkable and common as it is, it is still pleasing.
A less greenly and lighter version of Wings by Giorgio Beverly Hills. Serves its objective as a work fragrance to the hilt, but offers little else.

my wife wears it, smells nice on her...

Unexciting solid performer; works well with fcuk urban body spray, which is available everywhere. Good for work, but not memorable. Clean, fresh modern scent without being yet another aquatic.

this is definately a sleeper in the cologne world. It is so versatile as a cologne and can be worn with so many different ensembles.A quick blast of fruit,mellow and sweet , and then the woods and spice take over,roumding this off nicely.

Nice smell. Great smell. Best for younger guys.
