Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Eternity For Men is no exception. The opening salvo presents lavender, lemon, bergamot and mandarin orange, hitting the skin with immediate impact and establishing the character of what follows. As the top notes settle — typically within the first 20–30 minutes — the heart of Eternity For Men emerges: sage, juniper berries, basil, geranium, jasmine, coriander, orange blossom, lily-of-the-valley and lily. This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of sandalwood, musk, vetiver, brazilian rosewood and amber anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Eternity For Men leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward aromatic, citrus, fresh spicy, woody, making Eternity For Men a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
