This was my second venture into the Eternity line with this 2022 limited edition flanker from the nose of Anne Flipo. It's an Aromatic/Fourgere twist on the original Eternity DNA that brings with it that Coastal Summer holidays vibe. The fragrance opens with a bright, juicy burst of mandarin orange, for an energetic & uplifting start. As it transitions into the heart, the classic clean lavender of the Eternity line is modernized with the addition of a cooling mint note. What makes Summer Daze unique compared to previous years is the use of Calypsone in the base. This Givaudan molecule provides a watery, ozone like freshness with a subtle hint of watermelon rind, which adds a distinct marine character without the saltiness of traditional aquatics. As an edt designed for the heat, it's meant to be a light wear, expect 4hrs at best, you can always top up throughout the day, especially at this price point. It projects well for the first 60m, perfect for outdoor setting, after this it settles into a pleasant personal scent bubble. This is a daytime fragrance for spring/summer. Perfect for the beach or outdoor activities. It's also a great option for the office, if you want a clean scent for the warmer days. It is a great choice for those who enjoy the original Eternity but want something lighter, fruitier, and more aquatic. My Rating 5.5/10 Scent 2 Longevity 1.5 Sillage 1 Y/N 1

This was a limited edition release from last year, it wAs said to be a reimage of iconic Boss Bottled DNA with a focus on vibrant, sun-drenched freshness. A blend of citrus with some of that signature woodyness. Sadly for me this was a bit of a let down. Citrus just doesn't work well on my skin and burns off far to quickly. This one was a joint creation between, Sophie Labbé & Honorine Blanc. The star of the show is Primofiore Lemon. This is blended with Bergamot to add a bright, zesty, sparkling start that feels more natural than the original EDT's apple-focused opening. I just wished that it had more staying power. As the citrus explosion dies an early death, the scent moves into a greener territory. Geranium Bourbon essence adds a floral greenness, while Elemi Extract adds a honeyed, slightly resinous warmth that bridges the gap between the fresh top and the woody base. The fragrance stays true to the Boss Bottled legacy with a foundation of Vetiver & Patchouli. it has enough weight and longevity to function as an Eau de Parfum. What should have been a summer banger, ended up an over hyped flanker. It does nothing new, which is why this years striking lavender is another hard pass as well.. it will work in heat, outdoor events, or casual daytime wear. Expect about 5hrs on skin, I tend to spray heavy to make this one work. Despite a strong opening, it settles into a more moderate, professional scent bubble after the first 90m. This one kinda killed off my interest in the Boss line. My Rating 6/10 Scent 2.5 Longevity 1.5 Sillage 1 Y/N 1

It has a similar DNA to Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir. In general, I find this 02 smother and refined, (less in your face). The opening hits with the beautiful vanilla sweetness and the warm warmth and powdery nuances from the amber. As it dries down, the sweetness tones down and the ambery/ resinous character from the amber and the labdanum intensifies turning the aroma into to a more rich and denser matured scent. This is a beautiful, alluring, intoxicating and very appealing fragrance. Projection and longevity are really good. It’s more appropriate for fall and winter, night outs, dates and special occasions if you will (I will use this anyway within climate controlled scenarios). Very well done, I love it!

This is one that I've been sitting on since late last year. I picked up a bargin travel size, and with the current heatwave, it's a perfect opportunity. Initial thoughts gave me CK One vibes, but it's deeper that that. Released in 2008 from the nose of Doors legendary François Demachy. It's one of their Blu Mediterraneo line said to capture the essence of the island of Panarea, a small, volcanic island in the Aeolian archipelago where the air is thick with the scent of wild shrubs and salty sea spray. It's a Citrus Aromatic, with a fresh/botanical vibe. Top notes of Myrtle, Italian Lemon, Italian Bergamot, & Basil, give a sharp, herbal, zesty opening, yet it is instantly cooling. At its heart, Marine Breeze, Jasmine Absolute & Damask Rose. As the initial citrus settles, a soapy/clean floral heart emerges, backed up with a distinct salty, aquatic note to mimic that Mediterranean coast. At its base, Lentisk (Mastic), Juniper, Virginian Cedarwood, and Amber. The dry down is grounding, slightly resinous, which adds a subtle woody warmth that keeps the fragrance from being too airy. This is a summer in a bottle kinda fragrance, it's real easy to wear & very enjoyable. However, there are some problems. As an edt, performance sucks, your looking at 3hrs at best on skin. Now that's ok, for what it is, you can always top up, which leads to the second issue. This commands a premium price. A full bottle will set you back €200 in these parts, for that money I'd like something that wears better. Projection is rather intimate, It stays close to the skin after the first hour, creating a personal scent bubble rather than filling a room. It's definitely a daytime wear, can see it rocking in high heat. That said it is a really good fragrance. My Rating 6.5/10 Scent 3 Longevity 1.5 Sillage 1 Y/N 1

I’ve have had this one in my collection for ages, but I haven’t gave it a full wear until today. I haven’t been too interested on it because it’s a freshie (note my favorite profile); an alternative to Parfums de Marly Sedley. It has a very enjoyable profile and got me compliments. It opens very fresh, citrusy, minty and herbal. The dry down evolves to a more diffusive and airy light citrusy, mossy, a bit sweeter scent. The projection and longevity are average to the lighter site, even over spraying it. It will need reapplication after 4-5hrs, if you want to be noticed.
