Like a Incense Blend from Another Time
Eternal Sunrise by The Merchant of Venice is a fragrance that immediately conjures images in my mind.
From the first sniff, the combination feels very interesting: sweet, resinous, and slightly smoky. I can't help but think of ancient Egypt. The bottle probably plays a role in my perception, but the overall picture just fits. The scent smells to me like a sweet-resinous incense blend that you would actually light, just in perfume form.
It has something old, slightly dusty about it. Not in a negative sense, but rather in a historical, almost museum-like context. That’s exactly what makes it intriguing, but also challenging to wear. For me, this is a scent that I enjoy smelling, but wear rather rarely. More of an experience for the nose than a daily companion.
Over time, Eternal Sunrise becomes a bit spicier, while the sweetness remains at the forefront. It consistently runs through the scent's evolution and holds everything together. I perceive saffron very distinctly. Present, warm, and slightly dry, without becoming too sharp.
Longevity is good, the sillage is rather subdued. The fragrance stays close to itself and does not actively seek attention. I also notice a slight synthetic touch, which does not harm the scent. On the contrary: it gives it a certain clarity and prevents it from becoming too heavy or too earthy.
For me, Eternal Sunrise is a good oriental fragrance with a distinctly feminine orientation. Not an easy scent, not a classic crowd-pleaser, but one with character, depth, and a unique mood.

Elternal Sunrise, If Cleopatra Were to Send a Perfume from the Afterlife…
Alright, folks. I thought I’d buy myself a perfume - and what I got was an olympically-scented time travel to Thebes. “Elternal Sunrise” already sounds like a slow-motion sunrise with dramatic music - but this is more than just a fragrance. It’s a scent epic.

The opening? Saffron, incense, and Kyphi - in essence: “Hello, I’m rich, mysterious, wearing gold jewelry, and I might have just interrupted a pharaoh’s ceremony.” The saffron immediately makes its presence known (but in a good way), while the incense asks if you’re ready to step through an Egyptian temple gate with it.

Then come the heart notes: Ambrofix™, Akigalawood, papyrus, and Nagarmotha. I don’t know what they’ve thrown in there, but it smells like Indiana Jones discovering an ancient library - on a sweaty camel that smells like designer fragrance.

And the base note? Tonka bean, Ladan resin, and Styrax - like the mysterious conclusion of a ritual where you don’t know if you’re enlightened or just smelling extremely good. Sweet, resinous, warm - as if you’ve captured the sunset in a glass.

Longevity? The scent doesn’t go away - it stays, drinks tea with you, reads papyrus scrolls, and eventually moves in as a subletter on your scarf.

Conclusion:
“Elternal Sunrise” is not a perfume. It’s a royal scent vision with a hint of megalomania, somewhere between ancient ritual, fragrance art, and an Egyptian road trip at sunrise.
A spritz, and you feel like you’ve just received a secret name based on hieroglyphs.

Greetings from Kollegah, Pharaoh

For about 2 hours, a beautiful mix of light incense, delicate sweetness, and powdery rose saffron clouds has been wafting around my nose. Wow.

Queen of the Night Light. Similar creamy saffron-tonka-cistus base, but here it's more understated.

Most beautiful incense with a subtly sweet styrax. Light green notes. A smoky touch. The pharaoh is performing a ritual. Isis lives!

The name "King of the Night" might have been more fitting. A very beautiful scent, it's spicier than Queen of the Night.

Babycat-DNA without Rosendo Mateu 5 vibes. Frankincense and tonka bean are the main players here. Beautiful scent in an even more beautiful bottle.

After the unpleasant saffron note fades, a wonderfully warm, spicy, smoky scent develops with good sillage.
