Perry Ellis Reserve is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Jean-Louis Grauby. Reserve opens with Lotus, Ginger, and Chamomile, settles into a heart of Marigold, Rose, Violet, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Perry Ellis's Reserve carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This "clean girl" era relic is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect fresh, green, and a bit soapy for some, but a dated scrubber for others. It delivers a solid scent bubble if your skin chemistry agrees.

About

Reserve unrolls a fresh, green carpet of violet and lotus, reminiscent of a crisp, meadowy morning. Hints of ginger and chamomile lend a gentle warmth, while a woody, earthy drydown of oakmoss, sandalwood, and patchouli provides an anchoring depth. It's a clean, invigorating scent that evolves from bright florals to a subtle, mossy finish.
