Spirited

Spirited by Perry Ellis is a light, fruity woody fragrance with a strong opening dominated by red apple and ginger, creating a sharp, slightly synthetic effect. The initial burst is bright and citrusy, fading quickly into a dry, woody drydown featuring sandalwood and tonka bean. While the apple note is prominent at first, it lacks depth and lingers only moderately, with some users noting it fades within an hour. The scent leans masculine with warm, slightly spicy notes of pink pepper and soft woody accords, but is ultimately classified as safe and subdued. It performs best during warm seasons, particularly summer, and is favored as a casual, fresh option for everyday or gym use. Sillage is moderate to intimate, with longevity leaning toward moderate, though some users report it lasting up to 8 hours. Despite mixed reactions, the fragrance is praised for its authenticity and layered simplicity, especially as a base for combining with other scents like Perry Ellis M, and is considered a cost-effective choice for those seeking a subtle, uplifting aroma without strong projection or long-lasting performance. The dry down is described as soft, clean, and slightly balsamic, with the tonka and sandalwood notes giving a warm, almost vanilla-like comfort in the final stages.
