Eternity for Men Summer 2015

This perfume captures the Mediterranean summer perfectly. Picture this; you are on a Greek island in August. After driving around with your rented jeep you find a beautiful beach that is not overcrowded. You have been swimming in the clear blue ocean and dozing off on a sunbed under an umbrella. At 6 pm you are sitting at the local taverna restaurant run by a local family and sipping on white wine. Watching over the beach and the ocean while waiting for food. There is a light breeze in the air and you smell the lemon and cypress trees that grow nearby as well as there is a hint of salt water coming from the ocean. Right next to the restaurant grows a big old fig tree and you can see and smell the perfectly ripe fruits. You can also scent a hint of the heated up wooden table and chair you are sitting on. This is EXCTLY how this perfume smells like and it is very pleasent. Now, with that beeing said, i find this perfume to be beautiful and a great deal. Works great on those warm summer days and evenings. Even if you are not on a Greek island. It was a blind buy after reading the reviews here. We are now in May 2016 and i got this one online for 25 euros incl freight and trully glad i discovered this nice scent. Longevity on my skin is not great but that is common for summer perfumes. 4-5 hours which is still ok according to me. Soft silage but I can for sure smell it. After 4-5 hours it becomes a very soft skin scent.

Edit on my previous review: Apologies about the Chrome Legend reference. This is not like that at all. It is a clean fresh slightly fruity, aquatic, clean, floral and woody. Very well blended and so light it should only be for warm/hot weather. To compare is kinda has a Nautica Voyage vibe but not as fruity or sweet. Also kinda like Invictus Aqua without the bubble gum accord. It runs a parallel route to Banana Republic Classic. It’s non offensive and light enough to go heavy handed. It doesn’t last long so you will need to reapply. Longevity- I couldn’t smell it on myself after a couple hours but people could for 3-4 hours. Indoors. It’s really good and if I can grab another bottle at $25 again I will in a heartbeat. I am now awaiting the 2014 Edition of this flanker hoping it will strike me in the same way. BTW, don’t pay the inflated price for this. It’s kind of a shower gel clean smell or when some people’s laundry has a strong scent after being washed and dried. It’s kinda like that but not as heavy/thick. Still really nice. I give this a strong 8.5/10 overall for me because of how it makes me feel and what I need it for.

This is a gem, and one of the fragrances I wear most often when I need a olfactory pick-me-up on a hot summer day. The grapefruit note on this is superb. Its bitter, but fresh, without ever becoming sweet. It has an almost boozy quality about it, like taking in the smell of a ruby colored cocktail somewhere in the tropics. From the opening to its departure, the scent is relaxed, upmarket, refined and surprisingly elegant. As expected from CK, longevity is not great, but there really is something incredibly zesty about this fragrance. Its extremely likable, relaxed and laid back, but at the same time vibrant and energising. I have this in my desk drawer at work, and when it gets to the late afternoon, this is my go to refresher to put the second wind into my sails. When I do, I really feel like I'm about to leave work, for some gloriously decaying seaside hotel and turn into someone from a Le Carre novel.

I was returning a shirt at the CK outlet and the associate noticed me eyeballing the fragrances and suggested I try the summer 15, and so I did while thinking in the back of my mind "yeah right , just another summer BS frag". So like an hour later I was getting this super fresh fruity oceanic aroma . I thought it was the fact that I was right by the beach mix with someone else's fragrance. Then I realized it was coming from the back of my hand. I immediately doubled back and bought it. I'm disappointed in the longevity of it but I douse my skin as well as my clothes and it's still detectable the next day, on my clothes. Despite it being weak , the aroma it give is definitely WORTH it! Like I said, Oceanic, Fresh , Fruity and very Clean! I need to pick another one up before this thing is completely gone.

I blind bought a 100ml tester of this on eBay for $25.99 based on reviews and rating. I am now seeing this is getting about $100 on eBay. I was looking for a Summer frag for my trip to hot and humid Vietnam. I just sprayed this on a tissue and I absolutely loved the first whiff. Super aquatic and fruity. It’s really nice and should do well in the heat. I’ll update this post after a few wearings. It’s kinda got a Chrome Legend feel to it. I’ll test side by side and add that to the update.
