It’s a fresh, aquatic, clean fragrance that lasts a decent amount of time. The sillage is great and it’s not overpowering at all. I like it.

This in a nutshell is a typical cheap aquatic with very poor performance and has a VERY similar smell to Kenneth Cole Vintage Black and Tommy Bahama Set Sail St. Barts. The best out of those 3 is easily Set Sail St. Barts and is about the same price,
If you haven’t smelled those the way to describe this scent is it opens up with a very zesty,synthetic but also pleasing lime note and once this dries down it gets sweeter and just falls flat and boring.
Performance on this is horrible and usually scents last a good while on my skin. This has lasted me 1-3 hours with minimal projection after 20minutes.
Don’t waste your money on this and buy St Barts instead !
Overall rating —5 out of 10 ! Decent smell for a decent price but you get what you pay for with this scent.

This is the epitome of the generic fresh blue aquatic. It’s almost impressive how competently it presents a quintessential representation of this genre; as if Perry Ellis took every version of Chrome, Eternity, Nautica and their summer flankers and condensed them into one startlingly anonymous scent. It’s not bad. Aqua possesses all the faults and assets of the standard blue freshie. Its performance is middling. It’s obviously synthetic without becoming too irritating and abrasive. It begins bright blue and shiny and mellows into a softer lighter blue. It has hints of sea notes, hints of florals, the vague impression of fruit and plenty synthetic musk. It smells like a sporty body wash–you choose which one. In the end, it serves a purpose and at the same time is as pointless as can be. For $20 you can own the face of this genre, and wear it with reckless abandon whenever the mood suits you. At the same time, what you wear will be completely indistinguishable from hundreds of other entries in the genre. Sure, you could do better, but you could also do worse. If you have a hole in your wardrobe, a big, fresh, synthetic icy blue hole, this will certainly serve to plug that gap. It’s the beginner’s aquatic 101. Make of it what you will.

Quick review : Fresh, safe, girls love it.
22$, 8/10, does the job.
Hard to find a girl, who will not like this one.
Good Luck.

The scent of this fragrance is like any other aqua colognes. It opens up with sea water and lime and then dries down to the cedar and musk. It smells nice and is actually one of my most complimented fragrances but the longevity is moderate(4-5 hours) and has poor projection and sillage. My friend had to smell it from 1 cm away just to catch a scent. Just keep reapplying throughout the day and you’ll be good.
Scent 7/10
Performance 5/10

Don’t overlook this one just because it might not have the mystique or prestige of some of the more well known marketed fragrances. I was recently given this fragrance by a friend as a gift. I have worn it out in public on several occasions and received compliments EVERY TIME I have worn it! This currently stands as my #1 most complimented fragrance. The longer it stays on my skin the better it settles in and smells. Is it groundbreaking? No. Is is fresh, clean, vibrant, aquatic affordable and a compliment getter? Yes! Women seem to really like this one. It was a pleasant surprise. To go along with the quality scent is a gorgeous blue glass bottle. It reminds me of the looking at the ocean with the sun shining down from above. It truly sparkles. I think this fragrance would be great for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. You owe it to yourself to go test it and check it out. Well done designer fragrance by Perry Ellis!

got a sample of this, stays close to the skin, longevity is not great but on clothes it stays for 8 hours, love the smell 🙂

I got the chance to test Perry Ellis Aqua yesterday, and was actually slightly impressed with the quality of this juice. Definitely better than I was expecting. Smooth aquatic (of course!) with a nice musky base that makes it more masculine and interesting than the typical mainstream fruity/aquatic/summer colognes. Unfortunately, the longevity issues others were talking about are true, but I could smell very faint traces of Aqua about 7-8 hours after I applied it to my wrist. I would never pay full retail price for this stuff, but if I find it at discount stores for $20 or less, I may definitely get a bottle.
Edit: Well, I finally got a bottle of this stuff. I consider it a very good summer aquatic. It would be an excellent fragrance, if it weren’t for the very poor longevity. I spray this on generously and while it is strong at first, it quickly fades to nothing after a few hours. Oh well, I really like the smell, so I’ll just reapply frequently.

I purchased this today for $10 at Ross (1.7 oz bottle). It’s a pretty nice fragrance from what I’ve smelled so far. The bottle, however, is gorgeous. Definitely worth getting if you find it at a good price.

this is best aquatic out there, in my opinion, in terms of scent. only problem is longevity and sillage. but scent is awesome. highly recommended

The top here is a nice burst of pungent citrus flavor and synthetic oceanic accords. The first 30 minutes Perry Ellis Aqua projects very well and gives off a rather standard aromatic aquatic scent vibe but with a heavier bang of lime and synthetics that works extremely well under the sun in hot weather. The problem is the heart and base really don’t have much structure, staying power or substance to them and let the top down between the 1st and 2nd hour when this collapses rather frivolously into a very generic musky woodsy dry down with a hint of synthetic lavender and the leftover residue of oceanic citrus that is fleeting towards the 3 hour mark. Was not impressed at all despite enjoying the top. An alright fragrance for hot weather but after 3 wears I have yet to see the five hour mark on this one and projection after the first half hour with 3 sprays is soft and takes some effort to distinguish, especially so during the dry-down. Can be had on the cheap online and in stores like Kohls with the deodorant stick, but even then you might as well save your money for something that performs better, like Perry Ellis 360 Red which lasts twice as long and has far more complexity and substance to it for a bit lower MSRP (Usually between $15-$25 for a 3.4 oz, $30 for a gift set with body wash and deodorant). Aqua is highly average and undistinguished despite a very promising top.

This is a good cologne. I like the scent and so does my wife. I might have to get this one but SAMs Club had the tester but was sold out. Price was reasonable as well. Great summer scent.
fixa45 – :
At the very first, it smells as generic as it gets. Very aquatic, cool, and clean just like anything else out there is the same category. However, I find it very aromatically lovely after it settles down on my skin. I still cannot pinpoint exactly why it becomes captivating to me; perhaps the musk and ambergris? Anyway, I never had Perry Ellis before, so I’m glad to be the owner of this.
leptMisppiops – :
Be warned, this is extremely synthetic and despite being rather well suited for a warm summer afternoon, there’s no real versatility or distinguishing personality about this one that makes it worth your while. Longevity is rather decent at 5-8 hours on average with moderate projection the first hour and a half of wear before receding to a skin scent. When accompanied with the body wash sillge improves to moderate for most of the wear, but the highly synthetic nature of the lavender makes it rather disappointing and destroys the more enjoyable citrus and oceanic top once the middle asserts itself. Simply not worth getting at regular price, use discretion and buy only if heavily discounted as there are far better performing and enjoyable aromatic acquatics on the market for less money that will captivate you far longer.

Very synthetic. I almost get dizzy over smelling it. It is a great scent but unfortunately I am going to have to let my 3.4oz go.
Its a masculine aquatic scent, not too perfumey at all.

This one doesn’t seem all that different from the other aquatics out there, BUT there is one distinction: it is my girlfriend’s absolute favorite. We’ve smelled a ton of designer scents (and a few niche) and this is the one that stuck with her, so I went back and bought it. The open is fresh citrus and after about a minute, there is a salty note that appears (I guess seawater) to give it some depth. There is a little fresh/spicy thing going on along with the seawater note that makes for a pleasant scent. After about an hour, the drydown is very nice, refreshing and cooling for summer. The projection on this one is weak, I used 4 sprays and there wasnt much projection -but the longevity isn’t too bad on my skin. After a few hours it turns into a skin scent, but I can still faintly smell it on my arm 13 hours after spraying. So, this one wont be anything special for most people, but if you’re looking for a summer aquatic, check this one out.

Perry Ellis has had a line of good to great fragrances in the past in my opinion but this one is not in that category.. For this fragrance to have come out this year, it lacks originality as it has very similar notes to aquatic scents that are better, have had their share of success, and have been on the market for years.. I was disappointed with this one and it makes it even worse that it does indeed appear to be weak in production. When I tried it at Macy’s it was easily overpowered by other scents.

I actually have this for some weeks now. It’s a very aquatic smell like the ocean, but it is really really really weak. It will make you think about ocean, at least that is what it did for me. It’s not out of the ordinary though, might be just a typical boring aquatic to most people, but i personally prefer aquatics. It has no lasting power, sillage or projection. I unloaded about 10 sprays and no one could smell in a testing and it lasted about 10 minutes. It has a great sprayer to. You can barely smell it when you put it on, You can spray it all day and no one will notice. I don’t think it is worth the money even when it goes to discount, it’s just way to weak. But maybe it could be my skin and others might have better luck.
