Eterno

Of the few Simone Andreoli fragrances I've tried so far, Eterno might be the only one that I like, though it is not without its issues. Eterno is a dark, smoky incense (not a church incense). The very opening hits you like a cinnamon bomb, in such a good way -- like Maison Crivelli Santal Volcanique (but with far less of the chalky sandalwood that almost ruins SV). That cinnamon-type scent quickly tampers down in less than a minute and turns more smoky, with the cinnamon moving to the background to keep the smokiness from becoming cloying. You also get hints of the bergamot and citrus leaves, adding to the slight but spicy sweetness. The overall combination is so good. The only problem I've noticed so far is that every so often, Eterno smells like dirty cigarette smoke. It's not persistent, but for some reason, I occasionally get small bursts of ashy smoke. That aside, Eterno smells like a blend of two of my favorite colognes: the aforementioned Santal Volcanique and either TF Black Lacquer or maybe Myrrh Mystere. Highly recommended if you're into this kind of scent profile. PS. Fragrantica needs to update the Eterno picture. That's a pic of the old label design.

#1537 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Got this as a decant. Very nice! I may eventually get bored with woody Chypres, but not today. This reminds me of liquides Imaginaires "Sancti", a scent I love, but this is more potent. Strong incense, fir, and cypriol. Leathery. Nice sandalwood note. Very masculine. Long lasting, good projection. Nothing here I don't love. Price isn't awful. This goes on the list for purchase. If you like this and don't have "Sancti" get a decant and try it out. And I would say just try a bottle of Eudora "Impression in Black." PureBrasil.com has it for $56. I'd say this is fine for suit and tie office wear. Go easy in tight spaces.

For me it's not like Interlude (I don't say at all), because it has waaay less incense in it and it makes it so well balanced. wood, leather, sweet and spicy... What a beautiful fragrance!

Il mondo dei profumi è magico ed estremamente personale. Leggo le altre recensioni e....booooh?! 😅Un profumo che io trovo divertente. Mi lascia un profumo di popcorn piacevolissimo. Mi accorgo di andare a ricercarlo nel corso della giornata per avere un attimo di piacere giocoso.😊

Strong, smokey, highly noticeable. Opening resembles one of the amouages but turns more woodsy towards the dry down. Leather is quite prominent in this one. Beautiful winter fragrance. Beast-mode projection and days on clothes longevity.
