Perry Ellis Portfolio for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Loc Dong. Portfolio for Men opens with Coriander and Pear, settles into a heart of Lavender, Cardamom, and Basil, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Perry Ellis's Portfolio for Men carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive hit. Some love its unique, clean-yet-complex vibe, while others find the pear a bit much or the overall scent dated. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate sillage and clean, soapy character make it a strong contender for office wear and casual daytime use, though some find it a bit too unique for dates. It's generally considered inoffensive and suitable for blending in rather than standing out dramatically.

About

Portfolio opens with a quirky, sweet blast of pear and a hint of green coriander, quickly moving into a heart where clean lavender, fresh basil, and a subtle warmth of cardamom intertwine. The dry down is a classic, comforting blend of soft musk, creamy sandalwood, and rich amber, creating a surprisingly persistent and clean finish.
