Honestly... CK Eternity for Men is one of those fragrances that's been around forever... I can see why some people like it, but for me... it just doesn't quite hit the mark. It tries to be clean and masculine, which is fine in theory, but the executution leaves me feeling pretty meh.

When I first spray it, I get really intense burst of green notes and a sharp citrus kick, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it... my immediate thought is alaways - "DID I JUST SPRAY TOILET CLEANER?" It has this almost harash, sterile quality that's just a bit off-putting. THANKFULLY that super aggressive opening calms down, but it takes time, and it's not the most most pleasant start.

As it dries, I can pick out some of the intended notes like sage and basil, which are supposed to add an herbal freshness. There's also a faint floral whisper, probably from lily of the valley trying to soften it up. But honestly it all just blends into this generic "fresh" scent that lacks any real character of depth. It just smells kinda clean. And not in INVITING way.

One thing I'll give it credit for is its longevity. It actually sticks around for about 6 hours on my skin, which is decent for and "eau de toilette" So if you are into the scent, it won't disappear on you quickly. For me that just means I'm stuck with a fragrance I don't particularly enjoy for longer than I'd like.

Ultimately, despite its widespread popularity, Eterinty for Men just isn't for me. While it might be okay for warmer weather if you are looking for something that screams "CLEAN" I find it largely unremarkable and a bit too reminiscent of household cleaning products. It's an acceptable fragrance, I guess, but it certainly doesn't excite me.

Bruno Banani Magic Man has been a part of my life for over 5 years now, it's more than just a fragrance to me, very sentimental scent, a lot of good memories...

There is something unmistakably comforting about its warm, sweet and spicy aroma that immediately brings back memories every time I spray it.

Magic Man balances playful confidence with a really smooth masculine edge. Notes of gin, nutmeg and cocoa blend in a way that's both unique and approachable. It's light, not overpowering, but it leaves just enough of a trail to get noticed, although it's not long lasting trail.

In terms of longevity, Magic Man isn't a beast mode performer, I typically get around 3-4 hours on my skin. It's more of a moderate lasting fragrance, perfect for day to day use or special moments where you don't want to overpower a room, just leave a soft, memorable impression.

Though I don't wear it every day, I always come back to it, especially when I want to bring back those good memories and feel like myself again. It's a scent tied to really good times, familiar faces and personal milestones.

Magic Man is simply just a time capsule for me.

Nike Sun & Wood is a really casual and sporty fragrance that offers fresh, sweet and woody aroma with quite good tropical twist.

It opens with bright citrus and fruity notes, then leading into warm, sweet and spicy heart and finishes on a base of smooth sandalwood and cedar. The scent is really light, clean and easy to wear! Personally it's ideal for daily use, especially during spring and summer.

The longevity, uhh... it doesn't have the longevity or complexity of high quality designer fragrances, but for the price? Delivers a solid value for its price. Around 3-5 hours on my skin, which is really okay.

So to sum everything up, it's a great fragrance for gym sessions, casual outings or for anyone looking for an affordable fresh-woody scent.
