Reserve for Men

Reserve for Men by Perry Ellis is a floral fragrance with a strong woody side, plus aromatic, citrus, spicy and amber touches. It is credited to dsm-firmenich and was released in 1998 as a masculine scent.

Grapefruit and bergamot open it with a bright, sharp citrus start, while juniper berries add a crisp, gin-like freshness. The heart is aromatic and floral, with lavender, sage and tarragon giving a herbal, slightly anise-tinged freshness, and carnation and geranium a spicy, rosy floral note. The base is warm and classic, with oakmoss bringing earthy depth, and sandalwood and amber a smooth, golden finish.

With its mix of citrus, herbs and spicy flowers, it suits spring and autumn, for daytime, the office and smart occasions. It will appeal to someone who appreciates the classic aromatic-floral style of late nineties men's fragrances, and who wants a refined, gentlemanly scent rather than a modern sweet or aquatic one.
