Eternity by Calvin Klein

A classic floral fragrance that shines with its flowers, musk, and a touch of citrus. Performance, trail, and longevity are impeccable. In the heat, it keeps me fresh despite being powerful. I love it and will always return for it.

I thought I would love it because it’s a 90s classic like CK One. I was surprised: it literally smells like cloves, that dentist smell, which isn’t in the official notes but on my skin it overpowers everything. I don’t detect jasmine, neroli, or carnation. Those who compared it to Perry Ellis 360 were wrong, because there is carnation and other notes there. With Eternity it’s like putting on pure clove essential oil. In contrast, in L’Air du Temps the clove blends with the rest. For this reason, I see it as more masculine and it doesn’t attract me. I’m going to sell my bottle.

The boy I fell in love with at sixteen wore it; I thought it was Eternity for Men, but it was hers. It looks so good on a boy, it really takes you by surprise. I never got rid of that memory and it became my favourite fragrance. Now I’m looking for other olfactory loves, but I always keep it. When I need to feel well, I use it and it brings me peace.

One of my favourites, a classic that reminds me of my mother. That scent was unmistakable at home before going to work: fresh, clean, and with bright notes. For me, it doesn’t smell like a dentist’s office, but rather of green notes. Yes, it’s citrusy, but it doesn’t smell like a dentist; I think someone said that at some point and then everyone repeated it. It smells very fresh, clean, and timeless.

I always felt it was like spicy powder from some makeup, I don’t know which note it is but it causes me a lot of itching. I always imagined it on an older woman. The truth is I don’t like it at all, although it’s stuck in my memory: every time I smell it I identify it instantly and remember the job 25 years ago where I used to hear it.

I absolutely love clean, soapy perfumes. I read the reviews before buying and thought it would smell like a dentist’s office… and indeed, it does. But then the clove and lily blend comes through. Depending on my nose’s mood, it’s sometimes the summery lady, other times a bouquet of flowers, and occasionally just dentist. The longevity on skin and clothes is brutal, and the trail lasts forever.

I absolutely love this; I started wearing it in secondary school and it became my signature scent for years. What I adore most is that it smells like Tic Tacs to me – those little mint or yerba buena tablets. Plus, the longevity and projection are incredible on my skin.

Eternity is a very familiar scent. It smells more like a 1990s bathroom vanity than the 1980s, a sort of antibacterial soap or shampoo. It’s fresh but versatile; I see it as ideal for any season. There’s something about it that makes it feel cold, fitting the comments comparing it to a dentist’s surgery. For some reason, it reminds me of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.

Well, I’ve just received this perfume which I’ve known for years. I must say it’s for advanced noses; it has nothing to do with today’s perfumery, yet it still transcends and remains eternal. It’s a green, dry floral. Very green and very dry. If you’re looking for sweetness, you won’t find it in the opening, heart, or dry down. It’s sumptuously unisex; I could wear it on my husband and I use it myself too. I read a very apt comment below: in the opening it smells like a DENTIST, then it dissipates and its flowers come into their own splendour, but like freshly cut flowers left on damp earth and wet grass. I can’t detect any musk, amber, or almost any base notes. I bought it in winter, so we’ll see how it performs in hotter weather.

I’ve received plenty of compliments on this perfume, and no matter how many chances I give it, I still don’t like it. Watch out! It’s not ugly; it’s very nice, soft, a clean scent if you like. I think my problem is that I don’t feel identified with it and it just doesn’t quite match. The longevity is good, as is the performance.

I tried it and wow, it smells delicious. At first, it reminds me of Perry Ellis 360, but then it becomes pure clean and fresh. It’s a masterpiece of perfumery, timeless, and adapts to everyone’s pH. It’s potent, lasts all day, and leaves a trail. It doesn’t go out of style; it’s pure art.

I tried it fifteen days ago. I always saw it in stores with the CK ones but never worked up the courage. The surprise was enormous. The perfumed cardboard left the scent everywhere, so much that my family asked what that delicious smell was. I bought it again instantly. It’s a beautiful surprise and yet very familiar, as if it had always been part of my life. It’s a classic I felt I knew but didn’t know which one it was. I love that it smells of flowers with that acidic touch. For now, it reminds me of Tresor, especially at the end. A beautiful discovery. Has it been reformulated?

Very good perfume, smells clean and soapy. I use it to go out on sunny days, freshly showered with damp hair. I feel super clean and well-presented. It has a great trail. It’s fresh and timeless, zero sweetness, very herbal, like straight out of the shower. Ideal for daytime and warm climates. Lasts many hours on the skin (about six) and on clothes until you wash them; excellent longevity.

A great perfume that has everything: trail, longevity, and a very low price for what it is. From the very first moment, it reminded me of Amarige, just less intense. Ideal for any time, but better on days that aren’t too hot because it can be overwhelming. The blend of mandarin and jasmine gives it lots of personality and it doesn’t go out of style. A CK jewel.

Unmistakable and unparalleled. These are the fragrances that take you back in time or make you remember someone, that evoke an emotion or a memory. I’m fascinated by it. Fresh, sophisticated, and rich.
