About This Perfume
Perry Ellis Reserve for Men smells like cool lavender citrus aftershave with aromatic herbs. It opens with lavender, bergamot and juniper berries, moves into black rose, tarragon and white carnation and settles on exotic woods, sandalwood and amber. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days and the office. Released in 1998.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and stays close to the skin.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and aromatic for casual days.
