An Affordable Fragrance that Completes the Turn?

I purchased 360° Red on a whim, because it is near the end of Winter in New York City, and as the seasons change, I wanted something for warmer weather.

----

360° Red is a light fragrance that smells like a combination of fresh and citrus notes like lavender, orange, and lime. Admittedly, the smell reminds me of Giorgio Armani’s Acqua di Giò pour Homme Eau de Toilette .

Unfortunately, this also means that 360° Red struggles to stand out from the crowd. In addition to the original Acqua di Gio, there are many fragrances with similar profiles. However, I will say that 360° Red is spicier, albeit the spices are very subtle.

----

360° Red has the typical performance of fresh or citrus Eau de Toilettes made for warm weather and tropical climates.

Sillage and projection are average. People may not notice the fragrance as you pass them, but it will not announce your presence when you enter a room. This makes 360° Red versatile enough to wear in an office environment, or at the gym.

On the negative side, a typical warm-weather fresh or citrus EdT also means that longevity is a weak point. Expect 360° Red to last about 4 hours before needing to apply it again.

----

The biggest critique I have overall is the bottle. Normally, I do not care about bottle design unless it is notable or a design flaw.

Here, it is notable that 360° Red (and the entire 360° line) looks like a combination of a small water bottle and a woman’s vibrator. However, outside of the easy sex jokes, the fragrance is affordable at less than $30 USD for a 100 ml bottle.

----

Overall, Perry Ellis 360° Red for Men is a solid fragrance and knows the audience it is trying to seek.

If someone wants a unique summer fragrance to stand out from the crowd, 360° Red is a waste of time, and they should look elsewhere.

However, if someone is seeking a masculine, fresh, and citrus fragrance at an affordable price for the warmer months or a warm climate, 360° Red will probably complete the circle.

my favorite citrus perfume

An extraordinary scent! Similar to ADG but better. And this is what I call it, of course, stimulated by the price of it. And the smell is more special not being as aquatic or floral as ADG.
Negative: bottle! The rest is close to the maximum mark.
I recommend moisturizing the skin before applying it: I get to projection for over 2 hours and longevity to the skin all day at the office.
For those who look for fragrances of up to 20-40 euros and do not go into the analysis of synthetic natural components (and other "connoisseur") I consider it a great option for having a citrus perfume.

Lost cost, basic scent

Nice, low cost masculine fragrance that would work well for warmer days and nights in spring, summer and fall. Too weak to use in winter. Moderate projection for the first hour or so, but stays close to the body for a surprisingly long amount of time. For me, about 7 to 8 hours.

After the initial citrus blast and once it's settled down, I'd describe it as a clean scent, less as a fresh scent. Scent reminds me (not same as) the clothing section of a department store - clean, newly manufactured clothing with a subtle touch of cinnamon. Great blind buy for me and will use for warmer weather.

Atomizer is not the best. Bottle is inconvenient due to its height.

360 Red

360 Red gets a lot of attention for being in the opinion of some, an Acqua Di Gio clone. I definitely notice the similarities between these two scents but I think 360 Red’s citrus notes are stronger and more defined than they are in Acqua Di Gio. It’s only right that they smell similar judging by the overlapping of some of each cologne’s notes.

However, I don’t want to get bogged down in comparison with an Armani fragrance when 360 Red presents an interesting fragrance at a fraction of the cost.

The opening is a pretty intense burst of mostly lemon and lime notes which exudes freshness right from the start. Now, it can be kind of overpowering at first but 360 Red settles down nicely and develops much more character as it wears on.

This one actually has a whole host of citrus based notes, from lime to orange, and bergamot. It’s going to be very citrus heavy throughout, with a spicy edge to it.

With the citrus in the opening, are an accord of spice, led by cinnamon. Cinnamon and some clove, are mainly what you’re going to pick up, on the skin. There is supposedly nutmeg in there too, but I can’t pick it out, if that’s the case. It is indeed quite close to AdG, but without the oceanic influences.

As it settles down, the spicier notes begin to flourish more. Again, this isn’t an overwhelming spice, rather, something that is smooth (sort of peppery) and envelops a definite warmth. This is definitely an attractive fragrance and one with just a hint of cinnamon to give a unique distinction.

Much later in the wear, I get touches of lavender, and a woodsy base. It’s fresh and pretty dry later on, though, it doesn’t dominate the composition. 360 Red is still all about the citrus and spice notes. However, it is a nice change of pace, to develop things further.

Affordable Acqua di Gio Variant

I came across this fragrance through numerous videos by the YouTuber Jeremy Fragrance. I really enjoy watching his videos and top lists, as they come across as truly authentic and honest. The fact that even very affordable fragrances are included convinces me of his credibility.
Affordable doesn’t always mean inferior. This scent is a beautiful example of that. Acqua di Gio is, for me, one of the greatest fragrance classics in the men’s category. Pretty much everyone should know it and have smelled it many times. I used to wear it often as well. Now, however, I feel like I’ve outgrown it and don’t want to smell it on myself anymore.
360 Red goes pretty much in this direction. The indicated fragrance twin is correct, yet it’s not a clone of it. Whether that was intentional? Who knows. Nevertheless, it also has its own characteristics alongside the ADG vibe. I find 360 a bit woodier and sweeter. This concept feels like an update to the rather overused classic. It has significantly more power and dynamism. Additionally, it has a nice spiciness. I like it better than ADG.
The performance is also top-notch. Although it’s not very evident in the comments here. On me, it lasts at least 8 hours. The sillage is also quite decent and similar to ADG. Amazing, considering you can get 360 Red for just 40 euros (200ml!). For budget-conscious folks who don’t place value on well-known names, it’s really a must to test this one.
The bottle is also truly eye-catching. It looks really elegant and stands tall. The hype around this twin is definitely justified. I even like it better.

A small addendum: I also bought the deodorant of this fragrance. 2x200ml for 15 euros. I can only highly recommend it. It’s inexpensive compared to many deodorant sprays from other manufacturers. Very pleasant and fresh.
