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.

sweet, resinous, gourmand, with fresh, marine, and clean notes in the sillage, very sweet yet defined, interesting blend

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

A very long-lasting, warm incense scent.

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

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

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