Perry Ellis America for Women is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996. America for Women opens with Blueberry, Grapefruit, Freesia, and Lilac, settles into a heart of Nectarine, Lily, Honeysuckle, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Sequoia, Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, and Orchid. Perry Ellis's America for Women carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

America for Women is a fruity floral from the 1990s with a fresh, youthful streak. Freesia, apple, blueberry and nectarine make it bright, lily and honeysuckle keep it pretty, and cedar and vanilla add a warm base. Easygoing and cheerful, if not groundbreaking.

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.
