Original Penguin's newest scent, Premium Blend, is an icy, fresh aromatic fragrance that opens with a burst of crisp bergamot, fresh lime peel and wild spearmint. The heart of the scent reveals a sea splash accord, Mediterranean rosemary and violet leaves. The long-lasting trail of fresh musk, driftwood and earthy vetiver polishes off this cool, refreshing scent—uniquely refined and undeniably addictive in a frosted glass bottle designed by master perfumer, Harry Fremont.

Influenced by a vodka bottle, it's an icy refreshing blend of: the top notes of bergamot, fresh lime peel, and wild spearment then blooms to the marine, green middle notes of: Mediterranean rosemary and violet leaves. 

Again, it's another "cocktail as fragrance."  Just don't drink it.

Best saved for late-night New Year's Eve or Awards Season for today's Don Draper-who might be a talent agent of manager, it's scent of power, passion, and performance, Perry Ellis RED packs a punch with its contrasting essence of freshness, oriental, and long-lasting masculinity. An initial burst of juniper berries and a kick of citrus evolve into deeper notes of red apple, sichuan pepper, red leather, and amber. The addictive trail of the fragrance infuses textured hints of sage, creamy oakmoss, and sandalwood revealing a fearless confidence and a sexy sophistication.

Here's your quick shopping list for Father's Day, even if he's a ladies killer.  But, look on the bright side this Summer, Givenchy Gentlemen Only Line and Penguin Original Premium are both "preppy" and fizzy enough to borrow from dad for your own refreshing "gin & tonic" freshening fragrance.
