The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Eclipse is part of the brand's OG Collection, a lineup associated with Mykonos's compositional direction. The fragrance carries a floral-fruity profile that draws on blackcurrant, strawberry, jasmine, rose, raspberry, sandalwood, and amber to create something that reads as both fruity and grounded at once. The release year is not officially recorded, which makes it difficult to place the fragrance within a specific moment in the house's output. It is reportedly discontinued, and that status has kept it circulating among wearers who came across it during its run. The OG Collection framing positions Eclipse within a set of compositions that share a particular stylistic approach, even if no timeline or hierarchy among them is documented.
What makes Eclipse interesting is the way it layers fruit over floral without losing either. The blackcurrant and strawberry at the top carry the composition's energy, giving the jasmine-rose heart a sweetness that keeps the florals from going austere. The raspberry in the base grounds the sandalwood and amber, holding the warmth in place rather than letting the drydown collapse into something purely woody. The structure works because each layer is committed to the same direction: a warmth that never tips into heaviness.
The evolution
The opening is bright and almost tart, blackcurrant and red apple hitting first with strawberry softening the edges. The freesia and rose arrive as the fruit settles, but the fruit never fully leaves the composition. The jasmine adds a creamy warmth as the fragrance moves into its heart, while the sweet pea keeps the florals lifted rather than dense. The sandalwood and amber take over gradually, warm and slightly powdery, with the raspberry reappearing as a soft sweetness underneath the wood. The drydown sits close to skin, a gentle musky warmth that lingers without projection becoming a problem. What survives longest is the sandalwood, clean and creamy against the amber's resinous edge. The transition from bright fruit to warm wood feels gradual rather than abrupt, and the composition holds its character through the shift.
Cultural impact
Eclipse sits within the Mykonos catalog as a fruit-floral composition with a warm, grounded base, a profile that has earned it a following among wearers who gravitate toward that direction. The fragrance's reported discontinued status means it is no longer in regular production, though bottles still surface through remaining stock and secondary channels. The composition itself relies on blackcurrant, strawberry, jasmine, rose, raspberry, sandalwood, and amber, a combination that reads as both sweet and structured.
