360 Collection Noir Cologne

Rice water rarely opens a cologne, yet Perry Ellis commits fully to that unusual choice alongside bergamot right at the very top of 360 Collection Noir Cologne. Lava, saffron, and black pepper carry the middle into remarkably unusual, mineral spiced territory that keeps the composition distinctive rather than predictable throughout the wear. Black leather, woodsy notes, and amber close the base in dense, smoky richness that lasts for many long hours after the sharper opening has properly settled. This spicy woody Eau De Toilette suits evening wear and lively nights out especially well, dark rather than conventional about its own considerable intensity. Perry Ellis developed something notably bold here, living up fully to the noir, shadowy name it so confidently carries.
