Scentonym Analysis
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
Notes & Nuances
Portfolio Elite goes for the classic Eternity for Men vibe. The opening hits you with a burst of lavender and lemon, maybe a touch more synthetic than the original, but pleasant enough. It's aiming for that clean, fresh laundry feel. As it settles, the sage and juniper come into play, adding a slightly herbal and green dimension. It's not a perfect match to Eternity – maybe 90% there. The sandalwood in the base is a bit more prominent and less refined, giving it a slightly sharper dry down.
To Buy or Not to Buy?
Look, Portfolio Elite is a solid grab. If you love Eternity but don't want to drop the cash, or just need something to spray liberally without guilt, this is it. It's a work-appropriate, clean scent that won't offend. Is Eternity 10x better? No way. This is a great daily driver for the budget-conscious guy who appreciates a classic, fresh fragrance profile.
Projection Power
Don't expect beast mode. Portfolio Elite projects moderately for the first hour, then settles closer to the skin. I get about 4-5 hours of noticeable wear. It's not a powerhouse, but it doesn't disappear instantly either. Perfectly acceptable for a workday scent.
