Fragrance Character
Clocks + Colours Eclipse 723 is a men's fragrance from 2024, presented in parfum concentration, also known as extrait de parfum.
This release was created by the Canadian brand Clocks + Colours, which specializes in rich unisex compositions with a distinctive character.
With this release, the brand explores a dark woody-balsamic aesthetic, combining cool spice, resinous nuances and a deep amber base.
Eclipse 723 is suited to those who prefer noticeable, unconventional fragrances with a powerful trail.
This is not a light everyday perfume that disappears into the air, but a dense, well-defined accent with strong projection.
Its masculine character is supported by dry woody nuances, smoky balsams and a spicy opening.
Development and Scent Profile
The top notes open with a contrast between spicy black pepper and resinous elemi.
The opening is energetic, slightly sharp and sparkling: pepper adds tension to the composition, while elemi softens it with a transparent balsamic facet.
This beginning immediately gives the fragrance a confident, composed tone.
The heart reveals fir, incense and oak. The cool coniferous character of fir meets the smoky, mineral quality of incense, while oak adds a dry texture and a sense of noble wood.
Gradually, the fragrance becomes deeper and calmer while retaining its characteristic density.
The finish is built around amber, myrrh and Texas cedar.
The amber accord brings warmth and gentle resinous richness, myrrh intensifies the balsamic depth, and cedar creates a dry, lasting framework.
As a result, the base lasts for a long time, sounds expressive and leaves behind a rich woody-resinous trail.
Wearability and Sillage
Eclipse 723 is presented as a men's fragrance with a very powerful trail, so it is best chosen for situations where a rich, intense scent is appropriate.
It feels especially natural in cool weather, in the evening, during a walk, at a date or on a special occasion.
In a hot room, the composition may seem too dense, so it is best used sparingly during the warmer months.
Specific recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing are not provided.
Given the extrait concentration and very powerful sillage, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays and assess the development after a few minutes.
On skin, the fragrance will reveal more warmth and individual nuances, while on fabric its woody-balsamic character may last longer.
Notes and Perfume Profile
By fragrance family, Eclipse 723 belongs to the balsamic and woody categories. Its overall profile also features noticeable amber and spicy accents, which make the scent fuller and more expressive.
The result is a dark, resinous composition with coniferous coolness in its development, dry woods and a warm, long-lasting finish.
Who Is Eclipse 723 For?
This perfume will appeal to men who enjoy deep fragrances without excessive sweetness or transparent aquatic lightness.
It complements a minimalist look, leather and wool textures, evening attire and a confident mood.
If you are drawn to compositions with incense, cedar, myrrh and a strong amber base, Eclipse 723 is worth testing on skin.
To explore a similar direction, you may also want to try Coreterno Hierba Nera.
It will help you compare different interpretations of the dark woody and balsamic theme, although each fragrance will be perceived differently depending on the skin and the amount applied.
