By the editors · 2 min readEclipse 1996 belongs to that wave of mid-90s aquatics — bright, uncomplicated, and deliberately approachable. The opening is a clean fusion of melon and orange touched with fresh green notes, reading as just-showered rather than richly perfumed. Water notes and lily of the valley dominate the heart, a classic pairing that establishes the aquatic identity, with rose and jasmine providing enough soft florality to keep it feminine. The musk base is thin by contemporary standards but does its job, leaving a clean skin-close impression. A time-capsule fragrance with no pretension.
