Alright, let me tell you about this perfume adventure I had recently. It all started when I got my hands on this fragrance called Perry Ellis 360 Coral. I’d heard some buzz about it, so naturally, I was curious to see what the fuss was all about.
First things first, I checked out what others were saying about it online. From what I gathered, it dropped back in 2014. The top notes caught my eye—Pear, Peach, Bergamot, Apple, and Pink Pepper. Sounded like a fruity cocktail, right? Then there were the middle notes: Jasmine, Peony, and Lily-of-the-Valley, a floral trio. And for the base, it listed Tonka Bean, Musk, Cashmere Wood, and Amber. A nice mix, I thought.
Getting My Hands on It
So, I went ahead and ordered it. They had different sizes, but I just grabbed a regular one to test it out. When it arrived, I was pretty excited. Unboxing it felt like Christmas morning.
The First Sniff
I sprayed it on my chest, as some folks recommended, to get the full effect. The first whiff was definitely fruity—I picked up the Bergamot and Peach right away. It was like a sweet, sparkling opening. Very upbeat and, dare I say, happy. It felt like the kind of scent that could lift your spirits on a gloomy day.
Wearing It Out
- First Day: I wore it to work. A couple of my colleagues noticed and said I smelled nice. One even asked what I was wearing. I guess that’s a good sign, right?
- Weekend Outing: I also wore it out on a weekend brunch with friends. Again, got some compliments. It felt good to have a fragrance that seemed to be a crowd-pleaser.
How Long Did It Last?
It’s an Eau de Toilette, so I wasn’t expecting it to last all day. But it held up pretty well. I could still catch hints of it in the late afternoon. Not bad, I thought. It’s not the kind of scent that overwhelms you, but it definitely makes its presence known.
The Floral Heart
After the initial fruity burst, the floral notes started to come through. I’m no expert, but I could definitely sense the Jasmine and Peony. It added a nice, sophisticated touch to the overall vibe. It felt like the scent was evolving as the day went on, which I liked.
The Dry Down
By the end of the day, the base notes were more noticeable. I got a warm, cozy feeling from the Tonka Bean and Musk. It was like the scent was giving me a gentle hug as I wrapped up my day. The Cashmere Wood and Amber added a nice, smooth finish.
Final Thoughts
All in all, my experience with Perry Ellis 360 Coral was pretty positive. It’s a versatile fragrance that I could see myself wearing on various occasions. It’s not too overpowering, but it still manages to make a statement. Would I buy it again? Probably. It’s a solid addition to my collection, and it’s always nice to have a go-to scent that makes you feel good.
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure with this perfume. If you’re into fruity and floral scents with a warm base, you might want to give it a try. Who knows, you might just find your new favorite fragrance!
