Eternity Cologne For Men

Although the original is a classic with undeniable charm, I've always found the sharpness of its opening to be a bit harsh. Eternity Cologne nixes that sharpness and makes the whole composition feel smooth and modern, stepping slightly away from the traditional fougere feel. I don't think it comes anywhere near Invictus in its sweetness (someone on this thread mentioned Invictus). I actually enjoy Invictus a lot, but this one is much more tame in the sweetness department. It's got a softer, almost powdery feel and doesn't come off like you're seeking attention. As far as comparisons to other fragrances in this general realm, I only really get the original DNA in the opening, and, strangely enough, it loosely brings to mind Sedley by PdM as it dries down (not in the opening) but without the lime and smoky effect. Performance isn't incredible, but it's still decent. Extremely versatile. Smells clean and would work for most occassions throughout the year. This goes for under $25 on discounters. I think its a steal at that price.

They could had waited a few months and call this Eternity for men Summer 2021, and do a cologne version of the OG that was more faithful to it (no lavender?). Anyhow, as unrelated to the OG as this is, to me it's a very nice, all occasion fresh summer-spring day scent. I smell Ambroxan (here coconutty), Aldehydes (breezy), Cardamon, Juniper and a very tamed Ginger in that order of magnitude. The overall impression is one of a light, tropical sweet, ozonic breeze. It doesn't smell nothing like Air, Aqua or the last 2 Summer editions either, but I can find a relation to Now. I see myself wearing this a lot come mild and hot weather. It was a great blind buy for 28€ the 200ml bottle, and gets a blind buy recommendation from me if you also like CK's approach to subtlety and versatility in everyday perfumery.

I don't know how this is under 4 stars. Buy this if you're a fan of any of the others in the line. If you are a fan of Eternity, this is the 2020s version taking the original dna and bringing it forward 30 years. Aldehydic ginger and ripe juniper berries cloying as other fruits like apple and plum-melon kick things off in the open. The heart is a slightly boozy bourbon and geranium, some other herbs and florals I can't pin point, with a late cardamom pop. The base is largely ambroxan and moss. I got roughly 5 hours on my hand test almost 2 months ago; it will excel in the gym and do really well in most warm weather environments in any place where you would normally use Eternity EDT.

I have tested it today at Notino on my skin, and I gotta say, I quite like it! It resembles original/edp, while being fresher and more sparkly thanks to the noticeble ginger accord and mastic. It retains the fouger qualities from original and also adds noticeable sweetness thanks to cardamon and juniper berries (apple maybe too?). I can't comment much on performance, my two sprays from Notino lasted for 6 hours, first two the scent was projecting and leaving a scent trail. After that, it went closer to the skin. Definitely try this at your retailer, or scoop it online (already on discounters). A very nice fouger freshie :)

Only reason I could see someone not liking this is if they don't like the aromatics that come from more amber bases, this stuff is pretty slick and unique compared to your typical freshie. Probably my favorite Eternity currently. If you're able to swoop this up for around 30 or less, and are looking for something different than your usual cheapie freshie this is a blind buy win for me.
