Mojito rarely opens a designer perfume, yet Perry Ellis commits fully to that unusual cocktail note alongside raspberry and pear right at the very top of 18 Perfume. Water lily and orchid carry the middle into soft, romantic floral territory that softens all that early cocktail brightness considerably throughout the entire wear. Sandalwood and vanille close the base in warm, comforting depth that lingers gently on skin for many hours after the fruit above has settled.
This fruity floral Eau De Parfum suits daytime wear and casual celebrations equally well, playful rather than serious about its own distinctive identity. Perry Ellis built something unmistakably fun here, entirely worthy of the youthful, celebratory number it carries as its own confident name.
