Perry Ellis 18 Orchid is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006. 18 Orchid opens with Dewberry, Bergamot, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Night-Blooming Jasmine and Amber, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Perry Ellis's 18 Orchid carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This cheapie is a divisive darling, with fans calling it a hidden gem for its seductive fruit-chouli vibes, while others find it a bit dated and synthetic. A solid budget-friendly option if you love sweet, fruity fragrances.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and sweet, tropical profile make it too prominent for a conservative office, but perfect for dates where a 'sexy-sweet' aroma is desired. It's versatile enough for casual outings year-round, but perhaps not refined enough for very formal events or fresh enough for sport.

About

18 Orchid opens with a bright, juicy burst of dewberry, passionfruit, and bergamot, leaning into a tropical, syrupy sweetness. The heart introduces a sensual night-blooming jasmine paired with a warm amber, adding a touch of floral sophistication. As it settles, a smooth base of vanilla and tonka bean emerges, grounded by an earthy whisper of patchouli, leaving a sweet and inviting trail.
