Eternal Dusk Inspired by Endymion
Eternal Dusk, inspired by the timeless myth of Endymion, evokes a mesmerizing blend of celestial serenity and intense, grounded warmth. At its opening, the fragrance is illuminated by the delicate yet vibrant notes of lavender and bergamot, enveloped in a soft breeze of sage and the bright zest of mandarin orange, creating an air of both calm and vitality. As the scent evolves, the heart reveals a captivating blend of dark, roasted coffee intertwined with the subtle floral essence of geranium, evoking a rich, layered complexity that keeps the senses intrigued. The base notes delve deeper into the soul, where the earthy and creamy richness of sandalwood meets the bold and raw intensity of leather, accented by the spicy warmth of cardamom and myrrh. Nutmeg and black pepper lend an aromatic spiciness that dances with the coolness of musk, while incense swirls in the background, adding a smoky, meditative dimension. Vetiver and olibanum complete the composition, grounding the fragrance with their earthy, resinous qualities, and lending a mystic aura that lingers long after the scent has settled. Eternal Dusk is both a journey into the night and an exploration of contrasts, where the gentleness of lavender meets the ruggedness of leather, embodying the duality of Endymion himself—forever caught between the ethereal and the earthly.
