Eternity Amber Essence For Men

I smelt this once thoroughly on paper and it's basically a pure amber scent like MFK Grand Soir, but the amber is sharper. It's the same sharp amber you get in Clive Christian Blonde Amber, minus the dried-fruits of that scent. It's moderately-sweet like MFK Grand Soir or CC Blonde Amber. As a pure amber scent, you could say it's a bit simple, but that also makes it elegant for date nights or events. The sharpness makes it a bit more interesting than MFK Grand Soir. This Calvin Klein Amber Essence is a *really* nice amber scent and it's on-par with MFK Grand Soir based on my first impression. Don't know what an amber scent is like? It's warm and vanilla-esq but classier-smelling and less edible/gourmand than vanilla. Suitable for winter and fall. Completely unisex and I really encourage both men and women to test this in-store - both because it's that good, and because I don't want this eventually getting discontinued (because it's that good). Note that I do see the relatively low rating here on Fragrantica and I'm actually very surprised. To emphasise, this would be very attractive on a woman, and I'd prefer a woman wearing this men's version much more than the women's version of this Amber Essence. Also, this is nothing like Boss Bottled Absolu, which I own. I almost exclusively buy clones, now owning ~220 bottles of mostly clones, but this is one of the few designers I'll definitely want to buy because it's that good. I'll give it one more sniff in-store, then I'll likely buy a 200ml. I would have never considered a Calvin Klein fragrance given my existing collection, and because I only know them for their more affordable freshies, but luckily the friendly store clerk happened to show me this scent among many others. I need one more sniff in-store to confirm, but currently this would be in my top 10 fragrances. Update: After smelling this fragrance a few more times, my opinions are the same, and I purchased the 200ml bottle. Update: My bottle required no maturation, and my opinions are the same. Sheesh, I personally really like this scent. But there should be testers at your local shops so I recommend testing first because everyone's tastes are different.

Maybe this one just goes well with my skin chemistry. I guess I can understand why some might not like the fragrance. It’s not your typical CK Eternity, but I can definitely smell the original Eternity DNA from its ancestor. Especially after it begins to settle after initially spraying. It’s got that Eternity soapy smell deep in the background. Eternity was my signature scent in middle school and all throughout high school, so I know every crevice of its DNA intimately. Plus, my sense of smell is very keen and developed. This is part of the Eternity family through and through. The swoon factor is back in full force - like it never left. But at the same time, it’s probably as different from the original as you can possibly get while still giving a nod to the OG. Anyway, this fragrance deserves much better than its currently being rated. Sure you can find higher quality niche fragrances. But if you love the original Eternity and want a much more modern, darker, slightly smoky, niche version; I recommend giving it a sample. Because it performs very well on my skin and clothes. Based on how people act around me when I wear it, it definitely enhances my aura. Your experience could be different. All I know is I love it, and when I give a hug or someone gets within arms reach - it works its magic. I bought the 200ml bottle because I will be spraying it with reckless abandon all 2025 and onwards.

Wearing this now, as I visited the local Macy's and they had it to test. This is another good release from CK. As soon as I sprayed it on, I was immediately reminded of Boss bottled elixir, and Boss bottled Absolu. But a bit more...'wearable', or versatile, than those are. As I sit here, I am testing all three together and while they differ, they still play in the same sandbox. The eternity seems to be a touch sweeter than both of the Boss offerings. This is absolutely NOTHING like any of the Most wanted line at all. Get your noses checked gentleman. Cannot comment on performance at the moment, but the two or three sprays on my hand are pretty strong over 2 hours later, which is impressive. I think it goes without saying that this is not worth $120 USD for a 3.3 oz bottle, but these ALWAYS show up on the discounters in a month or so after release for more than half off anyway. I'd wait. And if you have Boss elixir or absolu, you might find this redundant. Just my personal opinion and testing here. Not a bad fragrance at all, but not worth retail... Edit: This stuff will go under the radar, because the youtube shills and 'influencers' won't pay any attention to it. SO when it hits discounters, I'm picking up a couple bottles. It really is VERY good, and easily bests 90% of the competition in what will be its 'discounted' price range.

*** My First Calvin Klein*** Its a total surprise the way this perfume smells. CK Amber Essence is simply awesome fragrance. Scent Profile - 1. Opening is luxurious sweet ambery 2. The middle still stays with that mild amber and vanilla kicks in 3. The dry down is awesome powdery, vanilla and amber. Longeviity - It stays for 7 to 8 hours on skin and longer on clothes. Silage - 2 feet at arms length and any hand movements will definatetly catch up some noses. Repeat Buying - For sure this can be one of those signature scents to keep it for ever. The scent is so good u cant stop smelling yourself. Totally compliment getter. Ratings Fragrance - 9/10 Projection - 8/10 Silage - 8/10 Blind Buy - Definately who likes slight sweet fragrance with luxurious touch Over all rating - 8.5 / 10 Enjoy Fragrances Love nd Peace to All...

This is a very nice, well-blended cologne. I get a very nice sweet incense and amber in the style of Amouage Outland, Rayhaan Terra, or Boss Bottled Absolute. I was sampling different colognes at Sephora and have always been a fan of Calvin Klein. The knock on longevity of Calvin Klein fragrances is a non-issue with Amber Essence, as I got a 4-hour scent bubble and 9 hours on my shirt. I don't like to put age limits on colognes, but my 58-year-old wife told me she really liked it, and a young man and a young woman, both around 24, asked what I was wearing. I picked up a set that included two bottles, 100 ml and 30 ml, of parfum strength for 59 dollars from Jomashop. Put this scent in a bottle of the hot brand of the month, and it would be 200 to 300 dollars.

One of the best and strongest amber fragrances I've enjoyed. Recently purchased from a discount site for only $55 for 100 + 30ml, a great bargain. IT's very strong and projects well, and will last 8-12+ hours for sure. The bourbon vanilla and mandarin create this cognac/grand marnier scent behind the intense vanillic amber accord. And there's also this intriguing spice element and soft musky background that isn't overdone or in the way. A very classy fragrance that anyone can enjoy. This was a pleasant surprise for me, since I truly dislike the Obsession for men and a couple of the other Eternity line, despite the notes being things I do like.

Even though no incense or smoky notes are listed but its definitely a very smoky amber (It smells like amber with some incense but not too over the top smoky, but it is very noticeable). I kinda like smoky scents so I'm definitely good with this one. This scent might be polarizing to some because this is a bit strong and pretty smoky, so my best advice to anyone who uses this, to use it VERY LIGHTLY!! (like......spray into the air and walk into the mist.....seriously!). Its quite potent. If done lightly, it smells pretty good and not overly cloying. This bottle will last a long time because very little goes a very long way with this fragrance.

This is what Dolce & Gabbana wanted 'The One Parfum' to be, but they missed the mark. Personally, this is one of the best of 2025. But that is my opinion. I like to factor price and overall value into what I add to my collection. Hard-hitting aromatic amber with tons of performance and great bang-for-the-buck. Can be had at discounters for a steal now (I paid less than $55 for a 100ml), and the fact that it didn't have influencers gushing makes it an even better option. But don't take my word for it. Go try it at the store, and see what you think. The ratings on this site are an absolute joke.

I got it as a gift,wouldnt have bought it myself,but after several wears I can say its ok. It is long lasting and good projecting for two hours,its biggest pro is its relaxing nature and feel,nothing grounbreaking but smooth and fitting for most occasions,not loud or attention grabbing.Smooth orange darkened and smoked with semisweet amber and finished with boozy vanilla. Nice allrounder good for spring,autumn,winter and summer nights,wouldnt be for a summer heat day. Nice stuff!

The notes published confuse the populace. This is a leather-like main scent with quinoline and sandalwood materials, the vanilla is kept to a minimum for wearability-marketability luckily, and there's clearly patchouli taking the center stage. Continues the good longevity work of Eternity Parfum, which is sweeter than this, but it doesn't try to please the masses that much. Totally collectable as part of the Eternity line. Reminds me of JPG Le Male essence the most.

A fantastic fragrance. It's in the realm of Boss bottled absolu but they're far from being redundant Amber essence is strong masculine and unapologetic. Very well blended and could easily cost two, three times more. One of absolutely best releases from the house in recent years. Btw it's sibling also from last year the Aromatic essence is also very very good* Total Bangers

Pleasantly surprised at how amazing this fragrance smells. It's in the same field as the Azzaros TMW and the Stronger With You lines but think of a richer, darker, deeper, mature and more incense version of that. An absolute masterpiece of a fragrance. I only got a small sample but I'll definitely will be looking to add this one to my collection.

I dont even know why ppl vote moderate longevity and sillage. Its literally room filling and next day you can smell the scent on tshirt... I did never expect a high quality fragrance from CK tbh.. I also want to add this : I wore a shirt for two hours and wear this fragrance. After a week i can still smell amber and vanilla so much.

L O V E I T ! - nothing more to add, honestly! Imagine it's made by Mathieu Nardin, the nose behind Smoking Hot by Kilian, and it says it all! PS: even the backup bottle's backup bottle has a backup bottle.. I can only say this about this and Terre d'Hermes.. having 4x of them, to me both these frags are materpieces!

This is very unique for this brand. The scent reminds of the PDM DNA almost like Carlisle. It's warm, a bit sweet and a bit spicy with some depth but not quite like PDM. To be expected given the difference in price. I get some tobacco as well. It's a mature scent and very smooth. Fall/winter. Very good. 8/10

Another great release after Aromatic essence. Well done Calvin Klein They're stepping up their game like Hugo Boss recently Amber Essence is well blended, long lasting and smells on a top tier designer level. As soon as it goes down in price I'll scoop up 100ml or 200ml bottle 👍

Wow , like many other people I’m sure you thought the same thing I did ... Eternity for Men in 2025 ??? WTH is going on. Then I tested on skin and immediately made my purchase. Beautiful blend and absolutely nuclear performance. What a great release. 10/10

Fantastic, especially compared to CK's other weak offerings. Long lasting, not eternal, but respectable. Spicy, fresh, and sweet. A complex scent. Maybe, just maybe, Calvin Klein could be learning to make good perfume again.

Very close to Boss Bottled Absolu :) Very good too. Strong and projecting. Not liked by most women but I do not care because I like it :) Tommorow may be I will make comparison with Boss ...

Think of the dark nature of azzaro most wanted.. the resinous ambery nature. Multiply that nature by 1000. You get this beauty. Strictly cold weather. In the air it smells great.
