Description
After signature edition Perry Ellis presented in Summer 2013, one year later the house of Perry Ellis is launching a successor in the same flacon form, named Perry Ellis Cobalt. The new fragrance repeats the flacon form of the previous edition, playing with combining geometric shapes. Perry Ellis Cobalt, just like the previous edition for men, was created to convey the style and tradition of the brand in a contemporary and masculine way.
The composition of the new edition provides refreshing zests of Italian bergamot, mandarin and ginger. The heart introduces aromatic-herbal shades of rosemary, clary sage and Mediterranean fig, warmed subtly by creamy sandalwood, cognac wood, cashmeran, white amber and musk.
Precious and exciting, Perry Ellis Cobalt evokes the unique energy of the Hamptons with an exclusive blend of fresh, modern and elegant woody aromas. The fragrance is available as 100 ml Eau de Toilette priced at $65 (exclusively at Macy’s). The advertising campaign for Perry Ellis Cobalt features Mikus Lasmanis. Perry Ellis Cobalt was launched in 2014.

I bought this with a 10 dollar coupon from Amazon about 2 months ago.. I am so glad I did.. That ginger in the opening is very nice.. I don’t get much fig as I was expecting.. I think this is a no brainer for those looking for a cheap easy to like fragrance.. Perfect for work and casual nights out.. Lasts a long time too

Sorry to say this but i threw it away. Normally i would give it to someone but Cobalt just sucks. Would feel bad giving someone sweet water because that is what Cobalt is. Perry ellis should be ashamed of this. Just terrible. I also gave away Armaf Tag Him because it was too sharp and cheap smelling but at least had some staying power If you should buy any Perry Ellis get the 360 series. They are the best in longevity and they project well. Especially the red black and the white is good too. Perry Ellis M is also very good. I had 2 from the Portfolio series but did not like them. Anyway Cobalt was a huge letdown. Only the bottle itself is worth it. Its very nice

Got this today smells really nice and good lasting power. But this does not smell like bleu de chanel. This smells exactly like Joop Homme Wild. Same boozy smell. But the Joop is a little stronger. Both are nice. Check it out

I really like this fragrance. It immediately reminded me of something, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it until I started comparing its individual notes to other fragrances. Then I realized what it was.
This scent shares five different notes with Calvin Klein’s Escape, in the sandalwood, bergamot, amber, rosemary, and sage. It’s definitely got an Escape vibe to it, but I think the fig, rum, and ginger take it a slightly different direction. Very similar to Escape, though.

Nice scent. This is the younger, fresher brother of Versace Dylan Blue – one of my go-tos. Take VDB and remove the incense and that hit of ambroxan (substituting cashmeran?) and add some musk for backbone, and this is what you get. The scent itself is fresh, with a balance of subtle fruit sweetness, warm amber/woods and a touch of ginger to spice it up just enough, all atop an unobtrusive cashmeran and musk base. Impressive balance of quality ingredients, especially for such an inexpensive fragrance.
Along with Perry Ellis from the same line (black bottle w/ aqua colored circle), this might just be one of Perry Ellis’ two finest products to date. And for the low price (I paid ~$15/100ml), it’s a slam dunk win for me. I will wear Cobalt and enjoy doing so.
Longevity is average, projection modest – par for the course with most fresh scents like this one. Extremely versatile and wearable. And if you’re inclined to overdo the sprays, there is probably no way any amount of this juice will offend anyone.

I didn’t like the opening at all. Then it dried down and I waited then I was like “ok I’ll keep this” then seconds later went back to return it. …wonk wonk wonk… even though I had gotten the gift set for $25. I just didn’t see myself reaching for this. The drydown was okay and reminded me of early 90s discount colognes at Value City. That rum or gin musky smell

I saw this on one of my last trips to a mall with an ex girlfriend. That mall had a Burlington which had it on sale for $19.99 for a 100ml bottle as well as a Perry Ellis store which had the tester of this. I tried the tester and knew I had to get it in Burlington. It is quite possibly the best Burlington pickup I have ever made.
Perry Ellis Cobalt is a flanker to the 2013 Perry Ellis. You know the similar black bottle with a blue center that smells like Bleu de Chanel. Well, I can say that it don’t to me, all I got was the bitter orange note, which is a note that I HATE. Instead, this I get a Bleu de Chanel or even more or less a Versace Pour Homme Dylan Blue vibe from the ginger and citrus opening, but I also get some Sean John Unforgivable too from the rum in the base. I love Dylan Blue, and Unforgivable, and Bleu is popular even with me, so this is a great mix to me.
Now it is different from Dylan Blue and Bleu. Firstly as I mentioned there is an added rum note like in Sean John Unforgivable that isn’t in either. Second, there is no patchouli or incense in Cobalt at all, though these lengthers doesn’t really hurt performance. Unlike Bleu, you don’t have the sweet fruity scent of pink pepper in this one. Finally, there is no water note like Dylan Blue or accord in Bleu in Cobalt as well. These all don’t hurt Cobalt and in fact makes it unique to this style of mass market scent.
Performance is pretty good with this one. It is a more spring, summer, early fall scent that can work both daytime and nighttime. The scent lasts about 8 hours on me with about 4 hours of projection. I sprayed the scent on at about 2 with four sprays around the neck and was getting whifs of it until 6. The projection is moderate for the first two hours before dying off. This is nearly a skeleton key, though I wouldn’t club with this scent, well unless you spray it over and over again after two hours.
The main knock I have with this scent is a minor one, that it isn’t a winter time scent. Now for me that is only four months of constant cold, but that means that it isn’t an all year scent. So with that in mind, I must rate Perry Ellis Cobalt a 9 out of 10 but it is now in my top 5 and a must but when it runs low. Surprisingly it is above Versace Dylan Blue in my book. Despite my ex loving this, I love this too so I’m keeping it.

Dylan Blue’s older, less attractive half brother. One of the most nondescript frags I’ve ever owned.

This is my Bleu de Chanel. It is very simple and safe, yet it smells great and is pretty versatile. I’m so glad that I discovered this. I don’t like BDC, but I was looking for a fragrance that was in the same realm of being versatile, a people pleaser, and good performance. Fortunately for me I get at least a good 6 hours out of this and projection is moderate (about an arm’s length) It’s just what I was looking for!

I blind bought this frag because of many different reviews online. The opening is okay and the dry down is quite generic for me! Not really special or unique! But the biggest disappointment for me is the performance. Longevity is just about 3 hours and the silage is just ok! I just feel like a bump

I had this frag in high school and girls loved it. Curve was a bit better imho because it was cheaper and got more attention. Great young man frag!
Scent:10/10
Sillage:8/10
Longevity:9/10

I always get at least one compliment every time I wear this one. It is very pleasant and good to wear in the office or formal night out, you can be confident not many guys out there would be wearing it. The bottle is very nice as well.

Glad I got to add this to my collection. Nice woodsy and boozy fragrance. Non offensive, very versatile!
Almes – :
The first time I tried this I loved it. I got the cashmeran and fig and a hint of the rum and thought it smelled very unique and fresh.
Too bad the 2nd time I didn’t like it at all. Cheap rum, sandalwood that smells like sawdust, some musk and the tiniest bit of cashmeran with a sort of metallic vibe that was off putting…that’s what it smelled like to me.
I may or may not try this one again, because I enjoyed it so much the first time. I have enjoyed many of the Perry Ellis fragrances otherwise.

I recently downsized my entire collection to just a chosen few, and convinced myself that… I now have a very well rounded collection so I would not be purchasing anything any time soon. I not only bought this fragrance I also purchased the shower gel etc upon first smell. I’m a sucker for fig! This juice is Awesome! It’s a smokey,fig, with some dark wood. It doesn’t last long 2-4 hrs then it’s gone, but at the price point I will be buying a few back ups. I’m going to try the last 3 releases from this house… Because I definitely found something special.
