360°

If you are picking up Perry Ellis 360 (crafted by the legendary Sophia Grojsman, the nose behind icons like Calvin Klein Eternity and Lancôme Trésor), it is likely because you either carry a fond, nostalgic association with it or deeply appreciate the architecture of vintage perfumery. This is a heady, intense white floral that makes absolutely no apologies for what a genuine, robust lily floral profile truly is: warm, indolic, and beautifully animalic. The Opening: If you are familiar with the thick, almost atmospheric waft of natural lilies in a bouquet after dark, that is exactly what you get in the opening. It carries that classic, slightly "pissy" realism that defines uncut lily notes. The Transition: Once the initial intensity calms down, it gracefully shifts into a vintage white floral heart with a smooth, milky texture. The Base: The composition settles into a beautifully rounded, creamy foundation of smooth woods and a clean, anchoring musk. The Verdict: This is an absolute classic lily-centric floral. It is not designed for the modern "clean-girl" aesthetic; rather, it is a magnificent, budget-friendly treasure for true enthusiasts who can appreciate and confidently rock a genuine vintage profile.

For some reason this is lovely on linens but awful on my skin. The osmanthus at the opening is really musty and moldy smelling for some reason (maybe I have a bad decant?) and the calones go musty on my skin chemistry but it’s lovely as a linen or room spray. It does also have that Grojsman dna in the dry down but is very 90s.

My mom said she used to love this so I bought it. Smells like cat piss on me.

This is a classic 90's clean girl scent. My mother bought this for me in 1992 my freshman year of college. It opens with a melon and zesty citrus punch and slowly mellows down to a soft white floral and base note of a gentle musk and smooth vanilla. The longer you have this on the better it smells. Sophia Grojsman is a perfume artist.

Not for me. In France, we have perfumed toilet paper, named "Moltonnel": it's the same smell! Can't wear it.

received this in a gift set, absolutely horrid. i wish i could unsmell this. no general issue with jasmine or white flowers most of the time, but the white flower in this has a sharp restroom element reminiscent of silverfish.

Vintage parfum. The sage note is what sets this apart from standard 1990s aquatics and makes it very refreshing and aromatic, along with a bit of lavender. Great for summer wear.

I know Sophia Grojsman makes a good perfume, I just don't like wearing this. I don't enjoy melon here. This is oddly smokey on me too (I like smoke!), but this is very BUZZY. It has a facet to it that smells like you're in a flower. Uncomfortable for me to smell. It's impressive for what it is though, just not wearable. I don't read this as aquatic at all, but aromatic and sheer. I think the buzzy aspect is the lily and osmanthus with the prominent melon note. It's also a very dry perfume on me, so it's like trying to smell these notes through a veil of some sort. The more you breathe it, the buzzier the notes become. They're not scrambled/jumbled, just too much too close. You're really in it. A perfume to wear to think about its construction, but not enjoy wearing as a perfume. Update: same experience in cold weather--it's uncomfortable, making it unwearable for me. The "Grojsman hug" is present...I'm just inconsolable with these notes.

I had a friend who wore this in the mid '90s, and the scent memory I have from then is that it was sharp and loud but because of its genre, it also wasn't suffocating. It stood out in the same way CK Eternity did with Grojsman's signature DNA; atypical fruit and heavy floral. I got this recently out of curiosity, and what I notice the most is this harsh, quasi-barnyard, animalic funk that's immediate and calms down a little but never really goes away. My assumption is that it's the osmanthus and vetiver, and I'm surprised that both of those notes aren't rated as most obvious on the pyramid. I honestly don't smell melon or lily, though that's what people report. It's an enigma, this concoction.

As long as it is sold, 360° Perry Ellis will FOREVER be in my collection. I was Today Years Old when I thought to look up the notes! For me, this is a captivating fragrance. When I smell it on anyone else, they cannot Gate Keep because 360° Perry Ellis is a dead giveaway. It's definitely a clean girl scent and can be worn year round.

Revisited this perfume recently and this current reformulated version does not smell like the 360 I bought in 2003. I owned that same bottle up until 2021 and I still remember what it smelled like. I saw this for cheap and decided to add it back to my collection a few weeks ago. Boy, am I disappointed! This is a completely new scent to me. I don't recognize it at all! The original was dewy, a little effervescent - a fresh, green aquatic. Now, all I get is a punch up the nose with an Ivory soap bar mixed with something tangy and salty. Ugh. Very screechy.

Based off of the notes, I thought I would like this one. Im not really getting many of the notes. It's pretty screechy. I didn't care for it on a test strip or my skin. Rate- 3/10

This fragrance is extremely reminiscent of L’eau D’Issey. It opens a bit harsh and “perfume-y”, but after you let it sit for a few minutes, it’s dewy, floral, fruity, inoffensive, and a safe blind buy imo. If you want an affordable, “just showered” fragrance to keep in your purse to occasionally reapply throughout the day I’d recommend this one :)

I remember this when it was launched and it quickly became one of my summer favorites along with Calvin Klien’s escape. This was such a great little freshie that still smelled like a sophisticated scent. I’ve had several bottles over the years and recently purchased a tester. It didn’t remotely smell like I had remembered. I figured it was a bad reformulation since I had it. I sprayed it about a month ago to find the bottle leaked terribly when sprayed. I believe the bottle went bad due to this! So I ordered another. I found a little gift set on Jomashop with a 100ml, purse spray, and lotion for $25, so it wasn’t a huge investment. I really wanted to have my old friend back! Well, when it came in, I tested it immediately. Yes! It smelled like I remembered!! The first bottle did in fact go bad! I was so happy! I’ll be rocking this this summer for sure! It has such a comforting nostalgic scent to me! It’s so bright and clean smelling and immediately puts a smile on my face!

I ordered a body mist blind ,because i wanted to see if i would like it ,before buy a bottle.The mist was cheap,the perfume is not.So it arrived and.....i am so mad that i didnt ordered the fragrance bottle!I am so n love with this beauty !!!It is so soft,fresh,dreamy ,little creamy and little auatic from the water lily and the melon. By the way it is typical 90's aroma,which i adore ,because it reminds me of my teenage years.All the perfumes smelled similar.For mother's day 8th march i am giving myself a present-this one.❤️.So good!

so beautiful, it's one green and aquatic fragrance that i don't mind at all, considering i mostly only like gourmand fragrances. it smells like a high-end hotel lobby, specifically caesar's palace in las vegas—a classic for sure.

My sister got a bottle of this as a gift so I took the opportunity to test it out. The sharpness is THERE ! Initial spray is very overwhelming and just plain sharp, for lack of a better word. I think the issue is bc of the vetiver, something my olfactory senses seem to hate with a passion if you read my other reviews! I couldn’t really discern the notes throughout the whole time I was sniffing my wrist until I checked out this page. They all mix together to create a scent that’s feels very nostalgic, which I guess seems fitting since it’s an older formula. I think I remember trying purple 360 many years ago and didn’t enjoy it that much either. After letting it dry down and waiting about 5-10 minutes, the scent became more bearable and I could catch hints of white florals and soapy-ness. It definitely seems like a nice scent once you get past that sharpness, but it lingers and just doesn’t work for me :( My sister didn’t enjoy it either, so if anyone is interested feel free to reach out to me - we’re willing to pass it to someone who could make use of it!

My favorite scent siince I was young. ❤️ I still love it despite the reformulation. But the original scent is ♥️♥️♥️. Best dry down. I haven't found a perfume similar to this scent.

This perfume smells like a very sexy chemical sunscreen (more herbal on acidic PH and more Musky and fresh on Regular/Alkaline skin). However, I wouldn't wear it on its own. You definitely get more value out of layering it because the scent lays kind of flat on the skin and wears off after about an hour. Despite that, I actually really like this scent because it's so sterile and fresh; it makes you smell clean lol 😳

I started with purple 360 than coral 360 so I might as well try this 360. And I'm glad I did. I really like the smell. Cucumber melon with floral. Is what I'm getting not too strong but I can smell it while I'm typing this so it's worth the money. I did get it on sale at TJ Maxx for $8. I've tested a few body sprays from this brand and it's not as strong as the parfums. So get them instead.

A true classic! All the awful reviews shocked me because this smell takes me right back to my childhood in the best way! It's a bit strong upon first spray but after a few minutes it settles down to a nice clean scent. It just works perfectly with my body chemistry & lasts all day! This had to be a signature scent of a lot of women in my life when I was younger because as soon as I spray it, it reminds me of all the 90s baddies I looked up to. That's exactly the type of feeling & nostalgia I want from a perfume! Love!

This is one of my most hated scents in all fragrance-dom lol. Screeching, sharp floral under the guise of a soft, green floral. Please search out another green floral if that's your jam, but please don't subject innocent humans around you to this rank abomination.

My mother and sister wore this all through the 90s and in my nostalgia I bought a small bottle. Smells exactly as I remember. Theres nothing quite like it out there. Ive gotten into very soapy clean scents and this scratches that itch. Will be spraying this all spring/summer.

I have loved (360) since 2012, that’s how long I have been wearing it. I am a guy who pulls this off fine! It doesn’t wear girly on me just clean smelling! This does take an acquired taste to even like. When first sprayed it can smell like chemicals but that’s never bothered me. I love it from start to finish! After all someone doesn’t wear a scent this long without loving it! It’s very long lasting and I love that. This is very Uni-Sex if I may say. I rate this a solid 10/10! Happy sniffing -

I love this and need to get more. The reviewer that wrote it smells like Malibu Musk just evoked all kinds of memories for me here. I must reflect now. Be back later with a review on this classic.

I really want to like this scent but there’s something about the vetiver note I believe that scratches the back of my nose in an unpleasant way. It’s as if the perfume is a beautiful powdery vanilla and floral scent with a hint of actual body odour. I don’t like wearing this. Came back to say it might be the mix of the vetiver note and the water lily note. If I don’t wear this on skin but spray it on my clothes or hair, it smells like fecal matter and I’m so serious. On skin it works a little better but I’m not taking that gamble.

Why did I buy Perry Ellis 360° Eau de Parfum, Body Lotion and Body Mist for the fourth time since discovering it in the nineties? 1. Because the dry down is simply gorgeous on me. 2. I'm 51, so it takes me way back to my twenties when I used to wear it while my kids were young and I truly miss those days. 3. A unique Sophia Grojsman creation that was extremely popular then, and stood the test of time in a very competitive market now, so it's definitely worth adding to my collection. 4. The true definition of long lasting perfume, especially when layered. 5. A compliment getter. Legit. 6. Really cheap compared to other expensive fragrances that perform very poorly considering their price tag.

Was at Shoppers here in Canada and found Perry Ellis 360° on the discount shelf. Started reading some reviews and one person said it smelled like Malibu Musk. Didn't need to read anymore. I'd been craving to smell MM for years now, so I bought it blind without smelling it for 22$. Well... let me tell you! It reminds me so much of MM, but not a perfect dupe. It's a haunting memory of what was, in the most beautiful form. Like we're holding a celebration of life for this lovely scent that followed us through our youth. I highly recommend picking this up if you can get your hands on it. It's not super strong, but neither was Malibu Musk. Lasts a few hours, longer on clothing and is so fresh! I'm not a fan at all of smelling like melons, but this one is well formulated so it's not overpowering and blends well with the other notes. It's missing some powder notes is all, from what I can tell.. Haven't smelled MM in ages, but this Perry Ellis 360° (white box) is taking me back. Perry Ellis 360° is less linear than Malibu Musk was, but it's lovely all the way through and if you snag it for discount like I have, you won't feel bad about having to respray in a few hours. I respray more often when wearing it at home because I love the initial blast reminder of Malibu Musk. It's beautiful the whole way through though. Edit: I oversprayed this today and it was strong lilies... it's many hours later and can still smell it. Love it.

Perry Ellis 360 is a gorgeous perfume in the dry down phase with my chemistry. The first 45 minutes to an hour start slightly bright, sharp, and a bit too bold. There is a slight chemical type smell to it, almost like a plastic essence. By the end of the first hour, moving into the 2nd hour -- this perfume moves into the dry down phase - and this is totally GORGEOUS on! I simply love it on! -------- If you like Perry Ellis 360, but feel that it starts a bit too bright and sharp -- try IOLA Perfume. I just purchased this at Marshalls, they carry it too on Amazon.com. This is an incredible perfume - the longevity is between 12 -15 hours on my skin. Incredibly fresh, a bit musky - but not so powdery. It is kind of like a fruity shampoo. Sampled side by side by Perry Ellis 360, this is in the same exact type soprano chord range as Perry Ellis 360, but slightly more toned down and slightly more sophisticated. The sandalwood and vetiver in the base act as a really great base chord for the fruity florals in the upper register. If I were to compare Perry Ellis 360 to Iola, Perry Ellis 360 is a little bit more outgoing/extraverted/upbeat/fun/playful (like the cheerleader type personality)... comes on a bit stronger in the initial hour, then evolves into a softer approach in the dry down; this comes across like someone on caffeine - slightly amped up the first hour, then this tapers off to a more tolerable level - the second hour. Iola is more refined in the introduction and comes off slightly more sophisticated through the full wear of the perfume. Both could be worn to create a similar "signature genre" for different days and different purposes. They are like two sisters, closely related - but showing slightly different energy levels. Both are very good perfumes, I would keep in mind the perceived image that you want to have... subtle differences can determine how you are perceived. However, I'm on the fence with this - there are days and times when I would like more of an upbeat and outgoing perfume - then other days, the I would like to be a little more reserved, reflective.

This scent is a perfect vacation bottled. To me it smells like an entire day at a luxury hotel. Your day starts with golden butter over yummy breakfast followed by a dip in the blue pool lined by frangipani trees, and then lay down under the sun on a sundried towel laundered in fresh detergent. And a glass of pinacolada to sip on. This is just so nice I don't even wanna dissect the notes.
