Eternity Now for Men

Coconut water and ginger burst forth with bright, almost energy-drink intensity, whilst star anise adds a subtly spiced warmth. The synthetic framework announces itself immediately—these aren't natural extracts but polished aromatic chemicals, all clean surfaces and no depth.

Patchouli emerges with troubling prominence, merging with starfruit to create an increasingly fruity, almost jammy sweetness rather than the sophisticated woodiness one might expect. Cedar leaf attempts a whisper of herbal restraint, but the composition has already pivoted decisively toward gourmand territory, the vanilla becoming insistent.

Bourbon vanilla and tonka bean take absolute control, creating a creamy, almost caramel-like base that settles into a one-dimensional sweetness. Atlas cedar arrives as an afterthought, providing structure that comes far too late. The fragrance becomes progressively shorter-lived, fading to a faint sugary hum within hours—a fitting conclusion to an exercise in diminishing returns.
