Description
Vince Camuto presents the new masculine fragrance Vince Camuto Eterno in early 2016, the fourth one after Vince Camuto for Men from 2012, Vince Camuto Homme from 2014 and Vince Camuto Solare from 2015. Vince Camuto Eterno is inspired by the contemporary gentleman dressed in classic white. Eterno is announced as bold, confident and magnetic.
The woody – aromatic Mediterranean fragrance composition for effortlessly elegant men opens with fresh notes of citruses and mint. The heart features a refined mix of Bourbon pepper and saffron, while the base is dominated by woody notes of patchouli and cedar.
It will be available in a white bottle and a box of the standard design of the collection as a 14, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

This is unique. The top is citrusy and fresh but in an Autumn way and not a warm weather sort of way. It is not linear; it goes through three distinct phases and ends up as a very creamy patchouli scent. There is something very unusual about it and I think it is probably the saffron. There is a sweetness that is not sugary. I think it is definitely best matched for Fall.

This has definitely grown on me from a “meh” pick in my collection to a “This is a star in the summer heat” It has the fresh/creamy vibe that works well. There is some spice mixed in, however, it’s pretty subtle to my nose. As far as transitions, this is fairly simple from a bright opening to the creamy heart of the fragrance. I would recommend this for the office as it’s a friendly, inviting scent that wouldn’t offend anyone. Could you overspray this? IMO Yes, so I stay around 4-5 sprays and the longevity last through the workday. Sillage, on the other hand, is pretty close to the body as someone would either have to be in your space or maybe a walk by and they catch the aroma.
7.5/10 – Overall Rating

Another strong recommendation as summer fragrance for men. It is an airy light, woody floral, but minty and citrusy fragrance. Patchouli and mint are gentle and tamed, adding just enough amount of “freshly green” to citrus. I love it!
Vince Camuto Eterno is not a masterpiece to go with tie and suit, but rather something you are more comfortable with, and would enjoy a lot in hot summer, with casual jeans and shirt (of course you can always dress up with this one), as it is very pleasant, classy, inoffensive, office friendly, clean, fresh, and still uniquely intersting at the same time (with saffron and mint note). Having said that, it is not just a casual or ordinary aftershave/cologne. To me, it is much better than Dolce Gabbana Light Blue Pour Homme (the sharp citrus note in that one put me off from the first spray).
The bottle design is also cool and well made. And NO, it is not an unisex or “feminine” fragrance at all. So gentleman, just go ahead and start spraying 🙂

A nice fragrance. The citrus keeps it clean. The saffron makes it interesting. I also like the spicy addition of the pepper. An inoffensive offering by Vince Camuto. Average longevity. Good sillage.

Decent fragrance from Vince Camuto but this is only a decent (like) and not a love.
This fragrance is pretty linear but it opens up with a flowery,soapy,but also slightly peppery smell that’s very unique to my nose. Once this dries down it’s a creamier smoother and less synthetic version of the opening. Even though this isn’t exactly my favorite scent I’m very happy to have this as it’s very unique,pleasant and inoffensive ! However,this loses points to me as it’s a little more feminine than I’d like and I wish it didn’t have as much pepper.
Performance is average as it lasts 4-6 hours and has soft projection but actually pretty decent Sillage.
Overall rating —6.75 out of 10 ! Decent scent with decent performance but this does get bonus points for being unique and affordable.

Fantastic fragrance that may disappoint some. My experience with Camuto Eterno (and Solare) prior to it is that you have to apply liberally. The usual routine of a few sprays results in VERY short life span on skin. But apply this liberally and you’ll get very good performance. It has the interesting effect of seeming to disappear from your skin, but after a while the warm, sensual, and cozy character comes out. It just radiates a very pleasant smell. Some have compared it to Prada amber, and that is not a bad comparison, although one must clarify that it’s the feel and vibe, not so much the smell. Again, that’s only after you get to the dry down and it starts coming back to life. found it very affordable at Marshall’s, so I’d say it’s worth picking up. Very safe for work because it doesn’t scream at you. Even if you spray a lot, by the time you get to work it will be down to the dry down. I sprayed on chest, both sides of neck, back of my neck and on my undershirt. 7 hours later I’m smelling it while I type away. So spray on and enjoy, you fragrance junky!

How do they label this as Warm Spicy and Fresh Spicy? To me this is Floral/Soapy. In the beginning it smells like straight honey suckles, even though there’s no honey suckle in it. As it dries down the floral qualities fade and it becomes more soapy. A Clean and fresh scent for sure. A spring time scent for sure (not that you can’t wear it other seasons, but The scent is like a cool spring breeze).
Check: over an hour in and the warm spicy notes are starting to come out
quiet scent and it’s what I’m currently looking for I’ll be sticking with Eterno, but if you want something similar but louder with better performance go with hermes d’terre hermes, it’s noted as citrusy and woodsy but the dry down is a more soapy clean, and has enough floral pelargonium in the mid to make it a similar scent
Always test fragrances before you buy. The dry down on this one smells like beer that’s been spilled and left over night, ruined my opinion of it, will not buy bc of the dry down.

Eterno is driven by a tandem of saffron and mint. The saffron is of the clean, creamy-white, semi-sweet variety and is perhaps supported by some kind of white musk that enhances these qualities while providing a bit of a fresh, ozonic edge to the overall feeling of the composition. The mint serves to balance the spices (aspects of the saffron and pepper) and lends a cooling, subtle greenness to the overall picture. You get a hint of mint in Eterno, and rather than the smell, it’s almost as if it serves more of a function, creating this cooling subtly green aspect which balances things. I’m a huge fan of mint but I really enjoy how it’s restrained here, allowing saffron to be the true star of the show. Accordingly, the saffron shines and smells fantastic. Its treatment here is how I like it–clean, fragrant, and just a touch on the sweet side. Either way, the saffron and mint are excellently paired and comprise the heart of the scent. They’re flanked by subtle notes of pepper which, at certain times, are detectable and give it a bit of a spicy bite. The heart of the fragrance persists for the majority of Eterno’s duration and when it fades into the base soft woods appear, cedar, and specifically patchouli, which has a very soft, earthy touch which is a nice way to finish things off. The base of tame woods is an appropriate way to conclude the scent and the heart fades effortlessly into it.
Overall, Eterno is a quiet scent, but that’s not to say that it doesn’t have a substantial presence. It doesn’t feel thin or incomplete in any way, it’s just on the reserved side. And this is what I like about it. It’s a very relaxed, and relaxing fragrance and can be worn easily and discreetly. It projects about a foot or foot and a half off the body at its peak and half a foot for the majority of the time that it’s on. Longevity is about 6 hours. Eterno is often overlooked for the simple fact that it’s a modest fragrance on the quiet side, and probably also because it’s part of the otherwise unimpressive Camuto line (I haven’t tried the newest, Smoked Oud yet). But it’s a little gem that fills its niche well and is worthy of the praise it gets. It’s pretty versatile climate wise and can be worn casually or formally, and for about $30–$35 for a big bottle online, it’s being sold at a very fair price. Thumbs up and recommended for sampling. I’ve been enjoying this fragrance for more than a year now and consider it a solid 8 out of 10.
*Final Note: The closest well-known scent to Eterno (as others have already mentioned) is Prada Amber Pour Homme. If you’ve smelled the Prada, you’ll have some idea of how Eterno smells and comes across. Still, they’re quite different and each should be assessed on their own.

Well, the bottle is an unexpected cool design. Looks plain white in online pic’s, but has “stitching” up the back of the bottle, as if the bottle is wrapped in faux white “leather”. Pretty cool bottle design.
This was a blind buy, had it on my want list for a while and when I posted on the mb, asking for suggestions for a men’s frag as a woman, this one was suggested, so that prompted me to push this from my “want” list to my “have” list.
I like this. It is a little wee bit different than most men’s fragrances, yet still easily wearable and inoffensive and I think office safe. I would classify this as a fresh spicy. Not heavy nor overpowering. But then, this is 2 to 3 light quick spritzes. I love that this is not heavy on the woody notes. I do not find the patchouli heavy, either, so I guess that is one of the reasons I am digging this frag; not heavy on any particular note, especially the ones that are typically heavy in men’s frag’s. Nicely blended. None of the notes stand out. I can’t smell the pepper note per say, but once knowing it is in this, I am like, oh yeah. So to me, the notes here are subtle and none are screeching. Nicely done. I always feel like Camuto frag’s do not get enough attention, and this one is no exception. Very nice. Not heavy at all, and lasts pretty much all day. I actually feel like this is a nice year-round fragrance, suitable for day or night, which to me, seems pretty typical of most Camuto frag’s.

★★★★ (4 / 5 stars)
Sleeper hit of 2016. TonyClean is spot on.
Not many men’s fragrances do saffron, and fewer still blend it as masterfully as this Vince Camuto release.
I was skeptical before testing it. Very skeptical. All the previous Vince Camuto releases were fine – 6 out of 10 nothing mind blowing releases. They all hit the bargain bins pretty quickly. Each and every one of them smelling nearly identical to a hundred other men’s fragrances.
Eterno is special. The overwhelming positive reviews below are my feelings as well. It blends elements of fresh, creamy, ozonic, feminine and masculine so well. It’s that dance of notes that shows care was put into its construction. When sampling it, pay close attention to the distinct notes. There is a lot going on.
7 hours on skin with the frst 3 projecting. Not beast mode but acceptable.
Feels luxurious. Expensive. Highly recommended.
algonaspipals – :
Saffron BOMB! Sweet, smooth, creamy saffron with a woody finish. Very light and inoffensive, and yet strong enough to feel luxurious. Opulent.
This is the perfect scent for days when your nose just needs a break from all the harsh notes you usually wear. While this is strong and long lasting enough that you will smell it all day, it’s also light enough that you could get away with wearing it to an office that doesn’t allow you to wear cologne. If you’re looking for a quiet, formal, high quality, suit and tie or interview scent? This is it.
This is BY FAR my favorite from the Vince Camuto line! It would easily make a great all-occasion signature scent for the man who likes to smell nice without being noticed for his scent, but instead, whose scent is remembered by those who engaged him in close conversation.
Move over, Dolce & Gabbana The One – you’ve been replaced. 🙂
I much prefer this over the more popular Prada Amber.

For some reason, when I first tested this on my skin at the shops, it projected for about 30 min, & after 2 hours it was gone.. But it smelt so good, I still went back and bought it.. After bringing it home & storing it in my wine cooler for 24 hours ( where I store all my colognes ) I gave it a full test today, I now get 2 hours projection & after that it settled, & lasted another 6 hours on my skin ( the last 2-3 hours being a skin scent )
So for me on my skin, a total of 8 hours + a great smell
Happy days..

This review will be almost identical to mine for Eau Sauvage – an exceptional summer scent that I can’t resist using despite it’s lack of powerhouse performance.
Like many light, warm-weather scents it suffers this sad fate, but I still find it irresistible – so much so that I paid full price for it rather than play the waiting game.
Do you have to apply it heavily to get any projection? Yes. Does said projection rely on a helping hand from your own body heat. Yes.
Despite all this, I can’t stay away from it. This and Eau Sauvage are my favorite two warm-weather scents.
Does anyone else smell an unmistakable honey note on the drydown? I can only imagine that this is in fact the saffron, but I don’t ever smell it until the drydown so I kind of doubt it – perhaps it’s the saffron-cedar accord, with the woody notes muted by the citrus through the opening?
vigrxDiomBoupimput – :
After wearing my sample of this some more I made another realization that should have been obvious – it definitely shares some similarities with Prada Amber Pour Homme.
It has that same sweetness that is somewhere between milky and powdery. I believe it is Nirvanolide musk. Where it differs from Prada Amber is that the base of this goes more into a mineral/cedar/patchouli direction instead of the vetiver/myrrh/suede of Prada Amber.
This is also a bit more casual than Prada Amber PH. It’s like a cross of Givenchy Play and Prada Amber with regards to overall smell and degree of casualness/formality.
A stellar work scent that can be dressed up or down.
Aerohoplenerisal – :
This is what Givenchy Play Sport should have been! This has the Play DNA – that same woody cedar/vetiver/citrus accord that is the backbone of both Play and Play Intense, but it is brightened up and smoothed out in a wonderful way.
A very nice opening of freshly peeled mandarin oranges and a hint of mint, along with an already present (and everpresent) creamy/powdery fougere accord that lasts the life of the scent.
The citrus fades to the background and that Play-esque woodiness comes to the fore, but what sets this apart from Play and Play Intense is the aforementioned sweet and creamy, somewhat (barely) powdery fougere accord which lasts the life of the fragrance.
Imagine a mix between say Play and Penhaligon’s Sartorial – Eterno is something like that.
Longevity is good and projection is on the soft side of moderate, which is what you want for a frag like this as it’s a great workhorse/daily frag.
I’ve not been blown away by any of the other Camuto scents (Solare was nice, though) but this one is very very good.

I sprayed this on at Macy’s yesterday and it lasted about 10 minutes. Nothing special about this scent or cologne.
ninalovesex – :
Safe average work type scent. Bright citrus minty opening over subtle spice, that wears close to the skin. You can catch my full review at Brooklyn Fragrance Lover.
Puvianiarie – :
OK, I have only had this on for about 6 hours, but I am really impressed with it for a designer fragrance! The opening for some reason reminds me of something from Le Labo.
It drys down to something very pleasant and safe, but is missing the horrid cheap notes that I find present in so many designer frags of late (Sauvage, BdC, etc.). It’s a bit like taking the best parts of Mont Blanc Legend and Eros, adding some class and blending everything very nicely. I think I like it better than the original Vince Camuto as it has more character. Like I said this is just my first wearing, but out of the 4 new frags I tried today this one impressed me the most.
