Basenotes says...

Designed to evoke the powerful feeling of being high on a Swiss mountain top. (That's high as in height rather than 'Afroman' style)
The scent is fresh like the mountain air with notes of "Ice Juniper" and "Altitude Lifescent".
The packaging looks like a flask or an oxygen tank and is matte black in colour.

This is an interesting product with, I think, a long history. In 1992 one of the Bath and Body boutiques came up with a men's cologne, altitude. It was sold in a green bottle and the scent was ethereal, unlike any that had come before. Shortly after that it vanished from the shelves, but the scent itself reappeared in a more refined, subdued version (sort of) as "Tommy," and won an award. That was about the time "Eternity" showed up with the same ethereal, ketone-based scents. So, there appeared to be a refinement of the scents throughout the process and over the time period. Finally, in 2001 Altitude showed up again, and interestingly, it had nearly the same scent as the original (and I do still have the original to compare.) This particular biz is more "bizantine" than just about any other (excepting the fashion industry), so who really knows how Altitude became Tommy became Eternity became Altitude (sort of.) But my uneducated guess is that radical new scents are first tried out on an obscure stage, such as a Bath and Body shop. If it's a hit, then the scent is repackaged and sold under a different name.

Generic par excellence. Exhausted. Tired. Smells like 100s of other low budget scents. Minty-mossy, off ye go. One wonders what the company brief to the perfumer was. The focus might have been on a cute bottle with cheap cap rather than on what goes into the bottle. Wouldn't pay more than US$15.00 for it.

Synthetic green and airiness. Unremarkable and not particularly interesting, but inoffensive.

This is one of the fragrances I found in the lower price range. It has a lemon zest to it and smells fresh. My fave!

This one doesn't do it for me. I kinda liked the other swiss army so I blind bought this one and well its not real bad or anything it's just something I don't think I'll ever buy again, just doesn't work on me but I can see why alot of people would like it, just not for me. On the plus side tho it does seem to last a long time on me went to work at 7am got home around 6pm and could still smell it a bit on myself.

this cologne is nice and fresh but i personally like the older swiss army cologne better. I would really like this cologne very much i someone would give it to me as a gift or something but i wouldnt buy this with my own money knowing that i can have something much better.
