A closer look at Perry Ellis America EDT
Perry Ellis is the house behind America EDT. It comes as Eau de Toilette.
America price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €21. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Mont Blanc Individuel and Parfums De Marly Darley.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is sweet (100%), followed by amber and fruity. You will probably like it if you enjoy sweet and amber smells and notes like rose and amber. Less obvious notes include white pepper, lavender and patchouli. Perfume fans rate it 4.26 out of 5.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall and winter. It is less suited to spring. Ranked by season: fall, winter, summer and spring. If you need something for spring, Jil Sander #4 is a better fit. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
America longevity
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Mont Blanc Individuel and Rayhaan Terra last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and birch are the part that stays longest on the skin.
