Delivering without delay on its fiery name, Perry Ellis 18 Fuego Cologne crowds the top with Calabrian bergamot, Italian mandarin, pink grapefruit and white pineapple, a bright, juicy rush that lives up fully to the promise. Haitian vetiver, fresh cardamom, violet leaf, and galbanum build a dry, green core that balances all that early juiciness. Benzoin resin, balsa wood, tree moss, papyrus, patchouli, and amber musk close the drydown in warm, resinous depth that carries real, genuine staying power for hours.
White pineapple is an unusual addition to a citrus-forward opening, handing the top a real tropical warmth beneath all that spice. Bright, fiery and beautifully balanced throughout. Perry Ellis 18 Fuego Cologne belongs to daytime wear and sunlit afternoons, a citrus aromatic Eau de Toilette through and through.
