WHAT I SMELL: Eternal Rainbow opens with a brush of color with soft florals highlighted by a light rose tinged with blackberries that is soon met with a juicy grapefruit and warm citrus. While that sounds like there is a lot going on, the perfume blends like a breeze. And the opening is so wonderfully pretty and inviting with a wonderful depth and warmth that carries you in. There’s a cottony lightness that bounces upon the fruit which seems to buzz with brightened energy without bursting forward as it tames its enthusiasm. As Eternal Rainbow begins to settle, the florals remain, but the berries seem to dissipate as the grapefruit holds it own along with just a touch of herbs. Here, the perfume resides in it’s own universe…not on the ground and not to the sky as if it shimmers in citrus and floral pink hued sweetness that lives in the background in the most beautiful of way. The perfumes remains in this realm for quite some time before it retreats into a quiet vetiver topped with a light cottony musk.

WHAT I SMELL: PARIS-RIVIERA opens with a soft creamy petitgrain that is quickly met with a sweet, vibrant and juicy neroli. It’s fresh, energetic and a bit bubble-gummish as it feels a bit chewy. But overall it’s incredibly sunny. A sandalwood makes it way in to reveal a bit of pencil shaving along with the lightest of jasmine, which helps it migrate away from the orange a bit. After a short time, a gauze of musk layers over the composition and it feels as if the perfume is contained in a muslin wrap designed to keep the flies off of the fruit that sits within a basket. As the perfume continues to develop, it begins to sweeten which is welcomed as it makes the perfume just that more joyous. And in a bit, a warmed woody base adds just the perfect resting place for this floral dream. PARIS-RIVIERA is a delightfully pretty perfume.
WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE TO ME: A summer picnic under the orange trees.
WHAT I SMELL: Eterniris opens with a soft suede that’s lightly sugared and slightly creamy as the iris makes its way in with a buttery finish. It’s incredibly soothing, yet full of life. An herbal tone adds a dimension that moves the perfume towards the forest as a cedarwood follows right behind the mixture of herbs. At this point, the perfume begins to warm and radiate and deepen. As the journey towards the forest continues, the perfume moves more to the chypre with a dry powder that pushes the perfume off of the skin. The perfume is unique, absolutely intoxicating and a rather stunning forcefield of a perfume because it seems to wrap you up in its enticing elixir. After quite some time, a quiet and subdued rose pulses occasionally from the middle of the fragrance adding a floral note as the iris seems to be cocooned in the middle of the wood. But lily of the valley is the floral center that keeps the perfume in the pretty with it’s soft and demure persona. Much later, a light smoky incense oud begins to line the bottom of the wood. Ever so soft, it provides the perfect base for the beautiful florals making Eterniris a serenely beautiful creation.
WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE TO ME: An ancient wooden boat that has been infused with the smells of years of the selling of herbs, spices and flowers.
