360 Collection Noir Cologne

Few perfumery materials count as less conventional than rice water and lava, yet both define Perry Ellis 360 Collection Noir Cologne from the start, bergamot and rice water granting the top a clean, faintly starchy brightness, soft and milky rather than a citrus snap. Lava, saffron and black pepper weave a core that is hot, mineral and dry, the saffron adding a leathery bitterness before any leather arrives. Black leather, woodsy notes and amber leave it dark and smooth. Rice water is the more interesting of the two inventions, and it earns its place. Whatever lava contributes in practice, the intent is legible enough, a scorched mineral quality bridging the soft opening and the leather drydown. 360 Collection Noir Cologne belongs to cooler months and understated occasions, a woody leather Eau de Toilette through and through.
