America

America by Perry Ellis is a sweet, fruity, and fresh fragrance with a pineapple and white pepper opening that quickly evolves into a smoother, woody-floral base. It features notes of rose, lavender, myrrh, amber, and patchouli, creating a warm yet creamy dry-down that stands out for its balance and subtle elegance. While it bears a strong resemblance to Creed Aventus in the opening—particularly with the bright pineapple and the initial spicy-creamy character—it diverges into a more refined and youthful profile rather than becoming a full clone. Its performance is moderate: longevity is above average, lasting around 6-8 hours, and sillage is moderate, making it noticeable but not overwhelming. It's particularly well-suited for spring and summer, with a light, inoffensive projection that works well in casual and professional settings, though some users note it wanes quickly. The scent appeals to those who appreciate a sweet yet balanced fruity-woody vibe with a hint of floral sophistication. It's praised for its affordability and versatility, especially at lower price points, where it delivers strong value. Even in older bottles, it shows a tendency to mellow over time, with sharper chemical or synthetic notes softening into a more natural, rounded profile. Most agree it's not reinventing the wheel but stands as a pleasant, easy-to-wear signature option for those seeking a wearable Aventus-inspired scent without the boldness or intensity of the original.
