Reserve for Men Perry Ellis for men

Growing up, this was one of my favorites through HighSchool on. Especially good in summer and day, strong and projecting even on hot days. Very expertly blended and rounded out. It's all subtley there. Obvious Lemon, Tarragon, Caraway, Lavender, a Real guy fragrance, classic ingredients used for centuries. It's still Fresh and cheerful. It intrigued me so much how i could sweat out and get all raunchy and musky with this, and.... people still compliment you? ..my goodness.. it's a real turn-on fragrance for me. This one's a favorite at the front of my wardrobe.

Best PE fragrance for men, imo. Yum...yes would vote to purchase again very affordable at the outlet stores.

Reserve is a fresh and cheerful fragrance, opening with a well-blended citrus and lavender with some rounder florals pushing through, and then finally drying down to a nice musky sweetness. The bergamot never fully disappears through the whole development.

It is very classy, but not snobbish at all. I can easily wear it as a more casual fragrance, but it's not too laid back for a suit either. In other words, it's versatile.

Sillage is medium. Longevity is not so great. But it's pretty inexpensive, so it doesn't make you feel bad about refreshing. Just keep a small atomizer on you and give yourself another spritz every few hours.

Perry Ellis Reserve is a fresh and powerful smell that opts to project sophistication instead of sex appeal. That power is rather short lived however, as it calms down and wears close to the skin a lot faster than an average fragrance would. The crispness of cold weather helps increase the potency of the freshness in this one. If you keep it subtle enough, this would make a fine daily scent that would likely be very unique, and definitely become memorable to others as “your smell”. That said, it was made for a formal affair; something you would dress up for.

This fragrance was sold at first only in PE boutiques and when you bought a tux you got a free sample of this. I don't own a tuxedo but when I want to dress up and feel like I'm in one this is what I wear...

On its initial blast it is citric and green, but not like all the others out there...this begins with an almost dry citrus blend fused with juniper, lavender and fresh geranium. Stunning but not overpowering, it's quite "dashing" but plays it down.The herbal greens in the heart are dry for sure but it's as if someone took the herbs and crushed them in their fingers to release the scent and blew them in your general direction. The florals in the heart are refined and absolutely elegant, the black rose scent is reminiscient of the dark tuxedo color and the carnation is bright like a flower in a lapel. Most of the time I wish top and heart notes would stick around longer, these last just long enough to do there job and fade seemlessly into a very, very sexy finish of moss, woods, musk and amber(I know,I know most frags have these or some combo of these in them but in PER it's like they are brighter or richer)and its not just the basenotes you can smell in the drydown there are hints of top and heartnotes as well, like a mist rising from memories...

Sillage: good
Longevity: very good
Overall: 4.25/5

For some reason I used to think his frags were generic or cheap but 360, Reserve and Portfolio Elite changed my opinion and led to an explosion of his fragrances in my collection. This one is an aromatic fougere for a daper sort of gent and I reccomend it for dressing up, formal attire and nighttime activities, it does begin quite sharp so I reccomend spraying before one dresses, then walk through a spray on the way out the door...

the tarragon makes all the other notes open up.very handsome and masculine mix.8 plus hours on me.buy it,its cheap in price and a must in your collection. ciao!

Amazing citrus blast when first sprayed. Very clean and fresh. The Grapefruit & Bergamot last quite a long time on my skin.

When it gets to the drydown the exotic (& enjoyable) woods kick in. Although for me, the initial citrus burst never really departs fully and remains there in the background, perfectly complimenting the middle and base notes.

In my opinion, it's suitable for any season or any occasion. On me, both longevity & sillage are above average.

Considering that this can be found for about $15 or less, I'd say this is one fantastic value for money bargain.

I tried it today and for me it smells like abercrombie fierce but a little bit lighter,anyway it is an enjoyable cologne.

picked up a 3.99 bottle of ok2000 perfect copy of this and its a plus for me.......great fresh scent cant distinguish individual notes but its definately a VERY popular aroma.......way better than hugo boss hugo spray

i got this as a gift from my brother.
at first sniff, i liked it immediately. my girlfriend loves it on me. it's light, citrusy and the woodsy drydown is so amazing! All in all, a very clean sensual smell. got so many compliments everytime i wear Perry Ellis Reserve for men.

a highly recommended scent.
absolutely a "TURN ON" fragrance! :D
