Oriflame Eclipse 1996 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1996. Eclipse 1996 opens with Green Notes, Orange, and Melon, settles into a heart of Water Accord, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk. Oriflame's Eclipse 1996 carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A pleasant enough fresh-aquatic that works as a first perfume, but don't expect it to blow anyone away. Its fleeting nature means it'll be gone before you can truly appreciate it, making it more of a nostalgic whisper than a memorable statement.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its weak longevity and intimate sillage make it perfectly suited for office wear, where a subtle scent is preferred, and casual settings. It's too ephemeral for dates and lacks the gravitas for formal events, but its freshness could work for light sport activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Limonene from Orange
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It opens with a zesty splash of green notes and orange, quickly softened by a sweet, dewy melon. The heart is a watery bouquet of rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley, evoking a fresh morning breeze. It settles into a soft, clean musk, light and barely there.
