Perry Ellis Aqua is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Aqua opens with Bergamot and Lime, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Lavender, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Ambergris. Perry Ellis's Aqua carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This budget aquatic is a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its clean, fresh scent and compliment-getting ability, while others dismiss it as generic and fleeting. It's a crowd-pleasing summer cheapie if you don't mind reapplying.

About

Perry Ellis Aqua opens with a zesty, bright blast of bergamot and lime, immediately evoking a fresh, sun-drenched vibe. This vibrant citrus quickly blends into a cool, marine heart, reminiscent of sea salt and lavender, creating a clean, almost swimming pool-like aroma. The drydown settles into soft musky woods, with a hint of ambergris adding a subtle warmth, preventing it from being overly sharp or synthetic.
