360° White for Men Perry Ellis 2005

Many thanks to Carsten for the bottle of 360° White for Men and the many samples :-) Here we have a rather nice clone of "Le Mâle (Eau de Toilette) | Jean Paul Gaultier," which I actually like even better than the original. In terms of quality, the scent is also significantly better than Cuba Gold Eau de Toilette or "Cabana (Eau de Toilette) | La Rive." The longevity on my skin reaches about 12 hours, although the scent shines well in the sillage for the first 6 to 8 hours.

The top note starts sweet, creamy, citrusy, herbal, powdery, and floral with aromas of lavender, bergamot, lemons, mint, and a hint of cardamom. The heart note continues to smell sweet and floral with orange blossoms and lily of the valley. Iris root adds a subtle earthiness to the fragrance. The base smells beautifully creamy but also vanillic, woody, slightly balsamic, and sweet with tonka beans, sandalwood, amber, and cedarwood. White musk adds an animalic touch, and vetiver creates an earthy aromatic quality.

Yes, I am quite taken with this one. The scent DNA is simply timeless and is unlikely to offend.
