A classic men’s fragrance blending zesty citrus and aromatic lavender with a heart of sage and floral accords, anchored by a warm, woody-amber base—an elegant everyday scent.
Introduced in 1990 and created by perfumer Carlos Benaïm, Eternity EDT is a modern classic for men. It opens with a bright burst of lavender, mandarin, bergamot, and lemon, leading into a green and floral heart featuring sage, juniper, basil, geranium, coriander, jasmine, and lily. The base develops into a smooth harmony of sandalwood, vetiver, musk, rosewood, and amber—resulting in a refined, clean, and masculine trail that effortlessly transitions from day to evening.
