Eternal? Definitely not
I was encouraged to test Eternal Man by the author of the composition, Julien Rasquinet, whom I admire very much and who, on a lower budget, has already created a quite good fragrance, Ascendant Intense, for Oriflame. However, Eternal disappoints, although my main complaint is not so much about the scent itself, which is not bad, but about its concentration. It is a very weak aroma, barely noticeable, without power, and it is these terrible parameters that make Eternal generally forgotten quickly.
The opening is pure alcohol, for the first dozen or so seconds I don't smell anything other than a sharp streak of alcohol. Only after a long time do the proper notes begin to emerge, but everything is so delicate, thin, ethereal that it takes a lot of involvement of our sense of smell to detect the character and any play of notes here.
Eternal has a fresh, citrus-like opening, with woody notes and a slight herbal note of coriander from the very beginning. Later, the aroma becomes warmer and sweeter, with amber, chestnut and soft leather. Woody, gentle, subdued and unfortunately lacking in character, this is Eternal. This name doesn't suit him.
The scent would be nice if it had at least a little more power, it is at the level of Glacier products of this brand which also have terrible parameters. Longevity is maybe 2-3 hours and the projection is very delicate, bordering on any noticeable effect. And what's the point of having 100 ml in a bottle at a good price if we have to pour it all over ourselves to feel something? In addition, the cap is poorly fitted and keeps falling off and does not stick to the bottle.
Overall, it was a failure, which is a pity because there was potential for something better.
The idea was there, the tone of the composition was synthetic but even interesting, but the execution was terrible. However, the composition itself makes up for it a bit and raises my overall rating.
