Eternity Cologne

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on aldehydes, ginger and juniper berries, moves through bourbon geranium, cardamom and mastic or lentisque, and settles on ambroxan, lorenox and moss.

• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient
• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
