Eclipse

Uncommon and enchanting, very nice indeed.

Fruity leather with tart plum & cassis, not overtly sweet. After a brief, bright opening you get saffron & papyrus, then a bit of praline and a fairly gentle oud note with hints of oak & patchouli blend nicely into a dry woody/leathery base that smells a little like old books. Dark & haunting, a sexy vampire scent. Sultry, mysterious & extraordinary - nothing like run-of-the-mill designer offerings. And it doesn't seem to have the 'cheap' vibe often associated with clone fragrances. I'd say it's quite unisex: leans masculine on my skin yet I can imagine this working really well on a woman. Powerful juice - extrait strength - so a few light sprays are enough. Fairly dynamic & rather longlasting (and it might perform even better once it's aerated a bit). For now, I'm getting 6 hours endurance from a fresh just-opened bottle. Projection is more than intimate, yet not annoyingly loud - it speaks but does not scream - and the scent bubble lasts 1½-2 hours, with lovely sillage lingering beyond that. Also, it's one of those fragrances that rise again when your skin warms underneath it. One may go a bit noseblind, but for those nearby the scent persists. To be clear, though, Eclipse doesn't seem to be heavily loaded down with aromachemicals. One minor caveat: be a bit cautious spraying on fabric; this may leave pink stains on light colored clothing. Better suited to Fall & Winter than to hot weather, but I'd rock this for cool evenings year round. A little too exotic to feel like an everyday kind of grab to me - more the type for date nights & special occasions. Still, that's just my taste; I bet someone with a strong personality could wear this as their signature. Full disclosure: I haven't tried Rouge Chaotique so I can't give an empirical comparison. My similarity rating of 5 is based on a general consensus that it's a very accurate rendering, not on my own personal experience. But feel Eclipse is a standout scent on its own merits. Well done, Oakcha.

Wow!!! Perfect blind buy… I searched for notes I like from multiple other fragrances (Bond No 9 New Haarlem, Killian’s Angels Share, Maison Margiella’s Jazz Club) and decided on this one as the best combo of patchouli, oak moss, lemon, pepper and then something that differentiates it with plum and saffron! It’s fruit forward, almost a dark rich jam - NOT overly sweet/childish/like candy. It’s soft and powdery but also spicy, very sophisticated and sexy! It’s not overpowering but definitely noticeable when you walk into a room!

Loved the smell. Its strong and dry down is so good.Excellent seller! Very communicative, caring, and professional throughout the entire process. Item arrived on time as promised, securely packaged, and exactly as described. I really appreciated the quick responses and attention to detail. Very happy with my purchase—highly recommend! 10/10.
