Review of Perry Ellis Platinum Label, Fragrance for Men

When I first got my nostrils caught up in the wondrous whirlwind of new Perry Ellis Night, a fragrance for men, I was thrilled to have been given a sample of Perry Ellis Platinum Label. I hoped it would deliver a similar twist to Night, only more elusive, refined and naturally platinum. So how does this one weigh in?

First the bottle. I love the bottle of Perry Ellis Platinum Label. It's got this high beam silver finish, which some of you may recall seeing on JLO After Dark Glow, a unisex fragrance. The Perry Ellis Platinum Label bottle has that same eye catching mirror glaze to it, which I am sure will be worthy of saving even once the perfume is all drained out.

The Scent

Sadly, for me, this is where Perry Ellis Platinum Label fails to impress. A nifty eye catching bottle fails to pack a nifty scent in its pretty shell. It is not necessarily a bad scent, it is just one that has been done over and over again. A fragrance you can find in Calvin Klein, Usher, and mobs of other designer fragrances for men.

I cannot blame Perry Ellis though, they are just following the trend of what is in, and what is making sales. However if you were looking for some new unique spin on fragrances for me, stick to your old school CK fragrances.

Last:

Where some make the mark, and other fail to impress when it comes to long lasting scent, Perry Ellis Platinum Label makes the mark and passes with flying colors, as this scent will stick around for quite some time. A few squirts on a jacket and you will still take in whiffs of the scent a day later.

Overall:

All in all Platinum Label is a decent scent. Is it one to go wild over? Far from it, as you will recognize it as all too familiar the moment you sniff in traces of it.
