This morning, I opted to go to work unshaven, as I do at least once a week. (Yes, I’m a wild man.) As I usually do when I go this route, I splashed on a bit of Calvin Klein’s Eternity for Men, which I can’t do on a shaving day because I need to apply alcohol-free aftershave balm instead. (Yes, I’m a somewhat fussy wild man.)

I thought I had applied a modest enough amount of cologne. I could smell it on me, but I didn’t think it was excessive. And I didn’t get any feedback at the office about being over-scented.

And yet, on the way home tonight, I could still smell the Eternity on me. After some 12 hours, you’d think the potency would subside. But even now, as I write this, the scent remains.

Good thing I like it.
