Eternity is a classic fragrance of the early 1990s, when every male lawyer under the age of 50 working in Manhattan had at least 100ml in his briefcase at all times.  This is a fairly clean smelling scent with subtle spices that strikes me with notes of lemon, lavender, basil, and sandalwood.  Some days it can smell a bit soapy.  Unfortunately for me, it does not last very long on my skin and is more or less gone after a few hours.  Whether that is an issue of body chemistry--fragrances act differently on different people--or of formulation, I don't know.  It is generally subtle, not cloying, and not likely to offend anyone; I have never heard of anyone outright disliking this fragrance.
