Eternity for Men Eau de Parfum

Ok as a woman buying this for my signifiant other after having bought plenty and more perfumes as gifts because were passionate about fragrance i must say. This is a 10/10 . Its absolutely the best green perfume out there that by the way isnt really made anymore. I love love love the green fougere barbershop perfumes despite being quite young but the smell of fresh green is the most ideal on most men i feel. The reason i rate this so high is because it does not smell dank like most of the 80s green ones with pachouli in it. Pachouli and iris that give them this dusty musty dry itchy note that irritates my nostrils. Frankly as a side rant i cannot understand for the life of me why all the perfumers today are shoving pachouli in almost every perfume. And if you live in a country which is dusty then that note gets mixed up by the brain for dust and triggers massive allergies. They need to stop shoving it everywhere. Back to the praises for this one. Eternity edp is the 80s green that takes away the dark musk , dry decaying pachouli mud, animalic piss notes and your left with this beautiful fresh dewy green grass with some rainforest when its rained fresh "greenness" with your usual herbs like sage lavender and something slightly spicy with a warm amber smoothing it altogether and sweetening it up. It does have a little zest but its more from the oil from fresh cut grass type of a zest thats just bursting with life . It smells evergreen. I love the eternity edt its more cucumbery and lemony with less green but still green. Eternity Edp is edt's older brother who has learnt a few life lessons and dosent need to break bones in order to learn. Hes already been there and done that. He can roll up his sleeves and fight if needed but again if things can be sorted with tact then he dosent feel a need to go there. Its brain over braun this one , its harmony grace and elegance as a form of masculinity thats evolved. It performs really well in warm humid climates, so if your in a country with cold dry air a lot of the time perhaps this is why your getting poor performance but in warm humid climates man oh man this one is there on skin for 8 hours projects for 4 to 6 hours at 2 ft radius snd lasts on clothes for more than 24 hours . I guess the reason a lot of people do not like ck is because they dont get to smell this one in warm humid weather but the dna of ck is a beast in such areas. Likewise we get piss poor performance on all of the chanel perfumes here. When i lived in new zealand they performed amazingly well. In this country now it dissapears and dosent project for 15 mins. So its about the weather guys. Not just how hot or cold a place is but also how humid /dry it is. So as a final verdict i will suggest those who live in warmer humid climates to please give it a try if you like classic green that is a timeless smell after them removing all the carcass style notes that a lot of perfumes have. If you enjoy the edt try this one. If you happen to have smelt eternity flame try this one out. It has some of eternity flame and eternity edt mixed together. Its truly an eternal perfume and to me is probably the most classic clean green smell on a man any age of any generation for all time. Ck nailed this one out of the park. And i hope it remains eternally.

I’m going to talk about a few things in regard to this scent and hopefully it will allow others to make up their minds on whether they want to get this or not. I remember being in grade 7 and my friends and I managed to get a bottle of the original eternity for men and stash it in our school locker. I feel sorry for those hallways and classrooms back then. I was 12 so this was my first experience with a cologne, and what a great one to start with, a legendary scent to this day. Fast forward to today, I’m a 41 years old, so I have a few more grey hairs and a much larger collection of colognes. When I first sprayed this I honestly didn’t know how to feel about this edp version. I only sprayed a few times and just went about my business, and to be honest I wasn’t thoroughly impressed. The second time I wore this I was a little more generous with the bottle, and sprayed it over my upper areas, instead of just my wrist like before, and that’s when I realized that I really enjoyed this scent for what it has accomplished. It then hit me and now understand who or which market this bottle is for. It’s exactly for the people like me. It’s for the fans of the original eternity, the young kids, teenagers, or young adults who bought a bottle in the early 90’s. The scent is more mature than the original, and the reason for that is because the people who loved eternity as kids, well, they grew up too. I’m not as experienced as others on here when it comes to breaking down each individual notes, but I will say that this still has the original lavender base of the original Eternity, but some other ingredients cut in and take over for awhile. The green apple, sage, and cypress are the most prominent in the mid, and the lavender sticks around in the background. For a second you’ll swear that they almost ruined the masterpiece, but you’ll still be reminded of the original scent from time to time when you get the occasional whiffs coming off you. I also have to mention that I got 2 unsolicited compliments from leaving my elevator at my home and standing line waiting for a coffee. One woman said I smelled pretty, and another said that whatever I was wearing was wonderful. On my skin this doesn’t last as long as the Vanilla bottle of Eternity I own, but it does keep up with the originals performance, just not as long, at least on my skin. This is a solid 8/10 for me. I get about 6 hours and sometimes longer depending on the weather. If you’ve ever owned an early 90’s bottle of the original Eternity this one’s for you. At least that’s my take on it. Good luck.

I find this to be an excellent scent. It might be a tad bit boring, but I really enjoy it. The original/vintage eternity is just a scent that is tied to my child/teenage years from growing up in the 90s, so I will always love Eternity no matter how many more expensive and niche frags I smell, it has a sentimental and nostalgic factor going for it. That being said, the EDT has been reformulated over the years and is just too chemically for me these days, I enjoy opening the bottle and sniffing the cap but I don’t really like spraying it on me. This EDP is much, much, much better to me, and it still has some obvious similarities with the EDT, but it’s more natural, blended better, more smooth and mature. It’s definitely a fresh green scent, amazing for spring and summer, but it’s just more well rounded and the wood and leather give some much needed weight and heft to the beautiful and crisp opening notes. It’s a bit fruitier with the Apple, and again more refined and mature due to the woodiness and leather. I love it. I know why people may find it boring, but I also know a ton of the dislikes come from the fact it’s a fragrance by Calvin Klein and it’s called eternity. Give it a try, if you enjoyed the original eternity EDT, you will love this. I’d you didn’t enjoy Eternity EDT, I can honestly say you still may very well enjoy the EDP, as it’s different enough to warrant a test, and much better quality and blend wise, you might just love it! :) 8/10

People can be cruel. People can also proffer gargantuan praise that in context is often undeserved. Here, a re invention of undoubtedly one of the top 100 commercial go-tos’ that has probably passed through most mens wardrobes at one point is just such a product that will have people either writing it off as a has been, unsophisticated or possibly unnecessary OR it might just be the greatest perfume ever invented. In context, this is a relatively cheap, decent performing perfume that delivers an enhanced experience over the original EDT. It delivers what you’d expect. A greater depth minus the vinegary watered down lavender and citrus of the original. Darker - a fuller lavender flesh with the apple effectively giving a juicier citric top with the nutmeg, orris et al giving a fuller base body. Just like Christy Turlington, it’s aged beautifully and my nostalgic spontaneous purchase now reminds me that I enjoy herbal lavender aromatics largely because of my use of this in my formative years. It also reminds me that whilst my experience and choice of price point has moved up considerably in perfumes it’s important not to forget that sometimes the commercial cheapie can still do a good job... uh... well maybe almost do a good job... If your on a budget don’t go past this.

Nose Note #1085 I really like it. This is like a companion piece to Hugo Man, but they are very different. Eternity is more sophisticated, doesn't have this fir accord from Hugo Man that makes it smell like a shaving cream (which is not bad). And I don't know why but to me Hugo Man smells like it was intentionally made accessible for the widest audience. Something very mass market about it. Eternity EDP is a little more like Dior in approach. It has more character and you have to submit to it in a way. It has a richer green profile, it's not just aromatic. It still doesn't exceed expectations. It is on the level with the best stuff from Calvin Klein, the Dior comparison was just for reference. The juice color fits the scent nicely. The scent is not presenting anything new or exciting, but it's a good example of a classic mens fougere. Egoiste Platinum, Hugo Man are nice comparisons. Even Rabanne XS is somewhat similar, but it's much more "washing machine powder". This is indeed a lot like the original Eternity from the past, but denser maybe? You can also describe it as a higher quality of One Man Show. 8/10, very solid classic "serious man" fragrance

I liked Eternity for Men Eau de Parfum, it could be considered a modern aromatic Fougere, as it retains some characteristics of the original, but there are some notes that make it more woody than aromatic. At the beginning you can perceive fruity notes, green and aromatic notes, it surely has lavender and other floral notes, but the most noticeable notes for me are cypress and nutmeg, these notes give strength to the aroma and the masculine character. The cypress handling in this fragrance is not dark like Encre Noire but more aromatic close to a Gucci by Gucci Sport. As the hours pass, the fragrance softens a bit, but still maintains the aromatic and woody style. The style of the fragrance seems to me to use slightly formal and causal, it is not youthful style, but it does not feel classic like Eternity for Men EDT. It is a good option for office work as it offers a pleasant, clean and masculine scent. Its duration was about 8 hrs. approx. I think it is a good choice for fans of the aromatic fougere family.

A greener/fresher take on Hugo Extreme - Havent tested the original Hugo, but im a big fan of the Extreme. Sometimes, the Extreme is a little too sweet for me with the apple playing a big role in the scent. To me, this is similar in terms of the aromatic backbone, but adds additional green freshness and takes away some of the sweetness. As a lover of classic barbershop and fougere fragrances, this is a welcomed modern take on the classic fougere. This will definitely be my go to for spring, summer, and early fall, before falling back to the Hugo (which I still very much enjoy) during slightly cooler months. Scent: 8/10 Projection: 7.5/10 Longevity: 7/10 - in the 7ish hour range for me. 1.5-2 hours of solid projection Silage: 8.75/10 Aromatic fougeres do wonders for me in the air. Overall: 8/10 Very solid release, especially for the price. Picked up my bottle for $25. This is a fragrance i look forward to wearing this fall through late November or so.

This is a solid offering, I wore the original Eternity as a signature scent back in the day for a few years and went through a few bottles. Hadn’t messed with it in years. But! I picked up a bottle of the EDP on the sale rack at TJ Max, so I said what the heck, I am so glad I bought this. It is very similar DNA as the original but a little smoother and more punch. I know there is a lot of Frag heads out there that think some of the designers such as CK, are not worthy. They are wrong some of these designers have been selling fragrances for more years than some, maybe most on here. Ok, I’m off the crate. This is a keeper and you could wear it anytime or anyplace. This would be CK’s ADG Profumo alternative. But hey Rumor has it that is gone. Anyway it’s not a dupe of ADG, just an alternative. On me this last 6 to 8 hours and projects for 2+ hours then is a little more intimate. Basically this can replace the original Eternity.

The original was one of my signature office scents for years before I retired. It was one of my most memorable frags because of it's scent profile and the many compliments it got me back in the day. I still remember how the ladies loved that scent. Just the same, this EDP version is a big love for me as well and is something especial because of the added fruitiness. It was a successful blind buy 👍. It has the DNA of the original but with a fruity vibe that I truly enjoy. To my nose, it was simply gorgeous, masculine and beautiful with versatility too. The performance and projection is pretty decent on my skin. I cant complain. To me, this is happiness in a bottle at a reasonable price. 10/10 for this humble beauty “Let's spread the scents of peace and kindness. The two most beautiful fragrance in the world that will cost you nothing and will get you a totally different kind of compliments” 🙏

I guess I better get around to reviewing this one... Had it for a long while... Can't say that I don't like it. I like it very much. If you want a great clean, fresh and soapy fragrance this will do it for you. Especially if you like Irish Spring or Gain laundry detergent. I can get a little green apple from it, some definite green accords. Where I think this frag shines is that it is a cooperative one. It makes for a great layering mix. I can layer this with just about anything. Its great with blue frags and helps the cheaper ones shine a bit. Such as Remy Latour Blue (Cigar). You can mix this with Guerlein Vetiver and bring it some sunshine. Anything that you want to bring the green up a notch and give it a spring time zing. Easily a 6-7 hour frag. It will last a lot longer than that but will be a close skin scent and that is just fine, because on a hot day it will pick right up again.

Beautiful inexpensive (if you look around it can be )I wouldn’t call it cheap. It’s that soapy clean DNA but sweet and green. ! I don’t mind smelling like this at all. Scents like these keep me away from my expensive stuff. Somebody has to use all this stuff. So take a bath in it the atomizer is great. You can’t overspray this stuff. And even if you go overboard I’m telling you she’s still going to love it on you either way😉 Well It’s not eternal and it’s not boring. It’s just like any other inexpensive or expensive scent. Anything can get boring. It’s Just a beautiful ozonic green apple . If you can find a 6.7 oz 200ml for around $40 it’s a great buy. Got mine for $30. Probably my favorite from Calvin. Made by the same guy that did Polo blue edp. If you like that you’ll love this one.

I paid 40 euros for this fragrance in 100ml bottle and it came with a gift backpack. If you can find it under 30 euro then its great but not the best fragrance. I love the opening and the ozonic notes. When i imagine spring i am reminded of this perfume. This was my first perfume when i got it almost 1 year ago and theres probably 5ml left in the bottle after 9 months. Longevity is moderate, about 3 hours with 6 feet of projection then it becomes a skin scent but its good for a green freshie in the hot summer. This is one of the most if not the most masculine fragrance i own and i have 17+ fragrances. Price 7/10, smell 9/10, longevity 7/10, projection 8/10. So this fragrance is a 7.75/10. If you dont have a fragrance for spring or you dont have a green fragrance then buy this.

If you are the youth that wearing the Eternity EDT for years, this is the "grow up" or mature version of it - Masculine, powerful and versatile. The overall scent resemble the original Eternity but with stronger herbal (sage) scent - very pleasant for any mature man. Opening is herbal - sage and green sparkling note. Middle note - gentle floral with hints of warm nutmegs Based note - Suede and some nice woody scent Overall silage is normal, is subtle but detectable - but longevity is great on my skin - easily 6-7 hours. This is a good buy for male above 30+, office scent, fall and winter frag. I will give this 9/10 - easily a safe blind purchase online. Great job CK (finally!)

This fragrance is what the original should have been from 1990. Eternity eau de parfum is by faaaaar better and, lasts much longer. The original Eternity eau de toilette is more suitable for teens, and young men it's one of those fragrances you wear right after gym class worn by jocks/teenage boys but, Eternity eau de parfum is strong💪, mature, and masculine. Perfect for all seasons and more of an evening type of fragrance you wear at night out to dinner, night club, or out for cocktails with friends. I'm so glad I purchased the eau de parfum version of this fragrance recently. I'm considering buying a second bottle too.🤷♂️😃

I wouldn't really call this a more concentrated version of Eternity, but rather a more aromatic version of it. This one is drier and has none of the water-like sportiness of the EDT, though the DNA of the original is clearly in the EDP. The herbal notes are much more prominent in the EDP. Longevity is good at 8+ hours, with moderate projection. It's definitely not modern, as it shares similarities to oldies like Platinum Egoiste and Lagerfeld Photo. This is a great fragrance that makes me feel like I'm living in the early 90's again, and I give it a perfect 10/10. It's a new favorite for me.

For some reason, I wanted to disagree with the last reviewer about liking this if I love Chanel Platinum Egoiste. But darn it, he's right. That doesn't mean they smell alike; they don't. But yeah, it really is great stuff. They have a similar classic aromatic vibe. Or maybe I'm just a throwback to the late eighties/early nineties. So be it. I'm 44 years old and I give zero f's I wore the og Eternity EDT to death over the years, so this is just what I needed. Lasts for ages too. Well done Calvin Klein.

As I thin out my rotation I find I keep coming back to this. While reviews differ drastically, I find this to be a warmer sweeter version of the original, and more modernized. And I love it. 💈 🍏 warm-ish Shaving cream. Apple shaving cream. Opens bright and fresh like the original but with an obvious sweet green apple note, but slowly transitions to that herbal Egoiste style (but I like this better, sue me). I’ll be picking up a back up bottle as it looks like this is sadly going discontinued 😞

if you wore the original while standing in the sea and eating an apple.... ok, so first of all, it's the most beautiful shade of green in the bottle, which was super important to me (don't judge). i thought it might be a waste, as i have a large bottle of the original EDT, but for the very reasonable price, i decided to order it, and i am very satisfied. this includes everything wonderful about the original, but with a little something extra, and it's so pretty!

I can see why people label it as a fairly generic scent (it's dry-down scent has a lot of teakwood to it that reminds me of an Abercrombie and Fitch store), but it's an unmistakably manly fragrance that's also got a surprising amount of sweetness and longevity. "Generic" or not it still personally smells great to me hours later, and I can't argue with the compliments it gets. If you want to hit the easy button on a masculine fragrance this is a great choice.

Very biased review but I freaking love this stuff. I have a person connection to this but I will rant on about how good it is. Very smooth and green with a touch of synthetic tree bark is the best way to put it. It’s simple and sophisticated with some serious metallic touches (not saying metal is an official note) that enhance the wearability. It’s very safe and masculine. Additionally, very cheap too. Cannot get enough of this fragrance

Best example of "getting the job done" frag: green, clean and masculine, has decent performance... And it's not expensive at all. It has that retro vibe but at the same time does not smells dated (which happens with the EDT). A fantastic choice for the office and almost all year round. Maybe not for super hot weather though, but its really a fantastic grab and go perfume. I'd pick the biggest size.

Tried this at Macy's. Hugo meets XS meets Eternity. It's just sort of meh. **Update Nov. 2020** So... yeah I'm pretty much in love with this stuff now. I find that happens to me a lot. I no longer trust first impressions of a fragrance as some of my favorites are ones I didn't like at all at first. Give this one a shot! It can be had for a pittance at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc.

A classic green and fresh barbershop fragrance with amazing performance. Reminds me of Chanel Platinum Egoiste, which is a big, big compliment. It also retails at 30% of its price, so it’s a no-brainer if you’re looking for a very similar, yet more affordable scent. It’s actually the best value-for-money fougère I have tried.

Less about the notes and more about the vibe. 1996 middle school teacher with too baggy OCBD tucked into jeans. Or, 1998 steakhouse restaurant manager in lower manhattan. Professional, but not too corporate. Hard working, but still fun. The guy you can trust to find a bag in a pinch, but shouldn't leave your date with.

This is a green bar of soap! Smells amazingly clean out the shower . Smells like Irish spring moisture blast! Shower gel. Between this and the original eternity has minimal similarity but I like both! Eternity edp is more green, eternity edt has more barbershop whiffs .as a collector I would say this is a masterpiece.

more aromatic version of edt, adequate for edp. i forgot i like this perfume so much. currently my nose is blocked so i can't fully enjoy it. it's still typical ck league, but if you like this dna, it's worth buying at least a small bottle to check it out for spring and summer. I prefer it more than mb legend spirit

The best CK fragrance out there. Yet, it isn’t a safe blind buy due to its old school nature and because it’s different from the contemporary oversweetness tendency. Not as fresh as the EDT but it still versatile (and much more modern). For those who haven’t tried it yet, this rate of 3.something isn’t fair.

I just sprayed this and blue de Chanel on my arm at Ulta, and I can confirm the dry down is similar but not quite the same. The Apple sticks out slightly more in the CK eternity than the grapefruit in the blue de Chanel, but honestly I enjoy that more. This might be a big sleeper. Ima have to buy this

This one definitely reminds me of the original Eternity for men. It smells wonderful and I can't imagine this being offensive to anyone. It should be very office friendly. Longevity and sillage are above average on my skin, which is a great thing for this type of frag. I highly recommend this one.

This was the first proper fragrance I ever bought. A few years later i might not reach for it that often but it's still probably my favourite designer fragrance. Masculine, grown up, performs decently well, great value frag for the price I got it from a uk discounter.

Tried both the Perfum and the original, the perfum version is much more matured and dense you definitely feel the vibe and the DNA of the original. Green fresh aromatic notes. works great in spring and early summer. Highly recommended. 2020 patch German made.

CK suffers from low aim as a brand but this is much better than expected and decent value at 30p/ml (or better!). Fresh, fruity, clean, perfect dumb reach. Performance is okay on me. I had the EDT back in the day, now a sad affair at any price. 3/5

I really enjoy this scent. Fresh,spicy,and green. Easy to wear and cheap. Gives me 90s vibes which I love. Longevity is good as well. I would compliment a man wearing this for sure .

3.9 rating for this (at the time of writing) is just silly. 100ml of this presently retails about £40 which makes it one of the best green cheapies around.

cypress, cypriol oil, sage, nutmeg, suede, ambergris well put together and nicely rounded, long lasting, elegant yet sporty, all seasons? say no more. 9/10

This is a really great fragrance. It smells wonderful and it ticks a the boxes for me. An 8 out of 10 is well deserved because it has real character!

If you love the original "Eternity" you will adore this flanker, stronger, longer lasting and more modern.

Damn compliments. Instant love for this bottle. Deserves to be on the top of my collection. Bravo Ck.

Green and herbal...strong on me!! Great pricepoint...no more generic then bdc or only the brave

Smells great. Very fresh. This scent has me smelling my wrists all day long. Thanks tltg

Overpriced.. it’s a 25-30$ fragrance max... hate to see these brands overprice things

Affordable. Fresh. Suede. Herbal. A good casual spring & summer grab. 7/10

Love it but if it lasted longer and had a tad of sweet i'de be obsessed.

A modern barbershop smell, that is pleasant or most people will like.

enjoyable frshie with some balls to it...very green and invigorating

sooooo good, i love everything about this

Love it, nice color and strong fragrance.

This one is good! Modern fougere.

Do you love fragrances from the 80s and 90s? Or just maybe you're in search of a modern cologne which is UNIQUE compared to today's all-too-similar releases? Enjoy green scents? Appreciate your fougeres? Want to "stand out" nicely as a masculine man in the land of the ordinary? Then what follows is for you. (Once I smelled this new Eternity for Men EDP by Calvin Klein, I just couldn't wait to review it!). Let me start by saying that I would probably never have owned this fragrance had I first seen its "perfume rating" (above) @ 3.60. It would have been a "pass" for me, having not smelled it. My take on the rating is that for many the new Eternity for Men EDP is "a bridge too far" from today's mainstream tastes. (Accordingly, my perception is that while some here are rating this fragrance somewhat low, several others are rating it fairly high--thus the rather moderate overall rating). But from the moment my daughter had me smell it on a peel-and-sniff insert inside Sports Illustrated fairly recently, I knew I HAD TO HAVE IT! In short, this fragrance smells like a "perfectly-modernized" version of the original Eternity For Men edt. And for originality sake, I'm very pleased the new EDP really doesn't smell all that similar; yet it is in keeping with the outstanding fougere "style" of the original. Now, I must be perfectly frank here.....Will this new fragrance end up being a blockbuster? No. Will it be the best fragrance you've ever smelled? Probably not. Could this even be a compliment-getter? Well, yes. But the fact is, I have been not-so-patiently waiting for a modernized masculine fragrance a la the 80s and 90s ever since the turn of the millennium, and this is a truly noteworthy release in that distinct vein! This new EDP is extraordinarily well-blended, consistent with the original in its early years. Its sweetness is also on par with the very slight-sweet original EDT--but whereas the EDT's sweetness comes primarily from citruses and amber--the EDP's sweetness emanates from green apple and nutmeg. The cypress and sage notes here are not "overly" powerful, as one might expect they could be; nevertheless solidly green, aromatic and the real heart of this fragrance. Progressively more apparent as the composition develops is cypriol, a plant with a woody, earthy scent said to smell like a hybrid of cedar, vetiver and patchouli, while also hinting of "cinnamon". Lavender and geranium were thoughtfully chosen to exceptionally compliment this creation's notes, and as florals often do, round out the scent. Ozonic notes and ambergris are masterfully utilized to aerate, moisturize, balance and otherwise enhance the composition as a whole. The dusty suede may be most purposeful; adding masculinity, warmth and depth while also serving to harmonize with the herbal greenness, earthy woodiness and floral freshness; creating a smooth, relaxed, unique and inviting modern masculine experience. The performance of this fragrance is above-average for me, considering I have dry skin. I get 6 hours longevity, while many tell me the projection is solidly in the 3-4 feet range. Living in Southern California I can easily see this as a 4-season fragrance, given that our winters are usually very mild. It has remarkable versatility for most occasions from dressy-casual to suits. Value is built-in as it's only been on the market for several months and available on-line for about $29 for 100ml! While the original was popular with teens and older, this new one will be best for mature 30 year-olds and up. But I'd like to share an interesting point: I have an older-teenage daughter and son who are both very much into fragrances, and each individually "critical", especially when it comes to the colognes I wear. Quite surprisingly, they BOTH enjoy Eternity for Men EDP! They really like the greenness, freshness and woodiness, along with the green apple and suede, but most memorably they said, "It's what a man SHOULD smell like!" I couldn't agree more. Eternity for Men EDP.....A uniquely creative yet "comfortable" masculine fragrance for everyday wear.

I smelled this in a magazine flap, and instantly liked it. From the magazine my wife smelled mint, which I was a bit confused by, but I found a 2 bottle set from 2019, and just got it today. (Advertisement says it was released in September 2019 but my bottles show up as june 2019) I only have 9 or so hours of experience with it so far, but so far so good. Its hard for me to,find a cologne I really like because alot of colognes I smell, remind me of so many other fragrances, but I really like this a lot. Ive never been a fan of calvin Klein scents, as I didnt like any of their bottle presentations and I have never heard anyone raving about a ck scent, so I just stayed away from the brand. I'm not good at breaking down and identifying notes unless they are clearly a distinguishable note that I can clearly identify. I just know when I like something and when its unique enough to seperate itself from all the rest. Now I can give an opinion of what I get from it while wearing it. Upon first spray, its a sweet, and fresh smell that is quite appealing and after about 20 minutes it settles in and becomes a bit softer and looses some of the sweetness while retaining most if not producing more of the freshness, while adding a spiciness that finally makes itself known as a masculine scent, I guess some would call it musky instead of spicy, which I could see it either way. As it continues to dry down the base seems to never really leave the mids alone, they just settle and stay put. Some people may consider the dry down as somewhat generic or cheap, towards the end of its life. But I could be wrong. I got about 7ish hours out of my first sprays before I felt I should reapply. In my opinion 7 hours is good for a spring/ summer scent that doesnt break the bank. You can find a bottle on ebay or other sites like ebay for 20ish bucks for a 3.4 oz. I payed 25 for a 3.4 oz, and a 1oz combo new and with the gift box it came in originally from belk. Silage is decent as well in my opinion. My wife came home from work about 4 and a half hours in and she asked me what I was wearing and said she could smell me as she walked in the door. We we about 6 feet apart at the time. My next test will be how well it performs outside in the heat and humidity. Its been raining all day and it was 87 at 7pm so tomorrow will be a good day to test. I will update my findings. I also found a 6.7 oz edt set today for 5 bucks plus shipping (7.99) and will be comparing the 2 as I have never smelled the edt version. Final thoughts are, if your looking for a cost effective, summer scent that is non offensive but crowd pleasing, and versitile enough for the office or date night, simple but elegant , look no further. Hope this helps and will update after a day outside.
