Tobacco leaf waits in the drydown of Perry Ellis Aqua Extreme Cologne, though bergamot, lemon verbena and a marine accord lead the top clean and saline, exactly where the name promises they will. Geranium, blue lavender and juniper berries make up a dry aromatic core, herbal and slightly bitter, holding the freshness steady. Labdanum, tobacco leaf and milk wood settle it warm, leafy and resinous, taking the composition somewhere entirely unrelated to water.
That drydown is the whole reason this is worth attention, since it turns a standard marine opening into something with real warmth by the third hour. Perry Ellis Aqua Extreme Cologne is a fresh woody Eau de Toilette, best suited to casual outings and easy days. Comfortable, dependable and unmistakably Perry Ellis, Perry Ellis Aqua Extreme Cologne wears exactly as promised.
