Eternity For Men Summer 2019

Wore this today for the first time out of the shower. And you know what, it's actually not bad at all. I am not easily impressed by fragrances much anymore due to my massive collection, but this one gave me a genuine "Well now, that is surprisingly nice" impression. Nothing absolutely ground breaking of course, but it smells well blended and put-together. And it absolutely shouts "Summertime!" at the top of it's lungs. I could easily see this fragrance being a perfect scent to wear while on a vacation trip, especially if you are near the beach or somewhere tropical. Heck, any summertime activity this would be a great fit for, as it is such a happy and upbeat smell which will blossom in the high heat. Initial blast has a similarity in scent profile (though not identical by any means) to Lacoste L'Homme Intense with a tiny bit of Nautica Voyage in there as well (just a pinch of the Voyage melon vibe). Initial smell is surprisingly pleasant, makes me picture a nice high quality mens fruity shampoo smell (which is not a bad thing IMO). Nothing comes across as sharp or astringent to my nose, and as this drys down it gets a bit of a salty touch to it like the 2017 version did. Nothing extreme at all in regards to the salt, but just just enough to be pleasantly noticed (it's nowhere near as salty as something like D&G Light Blue Eau Intense, so don't worry about that). And from the mid-base it really doesn't change much and basically has a light aquatic salty smell with a touch of fruitiness (Lacoste L'Homme Intense style of fruitiness). Gotta say, the last two summer Eternity flankers (2017 and this one) from CK have been surprisingly decent. Both kinda have that tropical-herbal-beach vibe to them that I seem to enjoy a lot. And they smell different enough to separate themselves from the norm (which is quite rare these days). The 2019 version is far less herbal than the 2017 version, but it is certainly more fruity and still very pleasant. Also note that while I am making comparisons with the 2017 version, these are two totally different fragrances and are in no way redundant to each other (like other brands often do with their summer releases, ie Issey Miyake). I'd recommend checking this one out if you can. Neither the 2017 or the 2019 are performance beasts by any means, but they do smell surprisingly good for being cheap CK fragrances. And as we all know, a lot of the recent CK releases (ie Ck One Summer flankers: 2017, 2018, and 2019) have been major letdowns. So spray liberally and enjoy the smell while it is noticeable. The 2019 version really does feel like the perfect summertime vacation fragrance to make memories with.

Not bad for a Summer frag! The initial blast from a brand new bottle was quite "loud", but it dries down from that within minutes. As it dries down further, I had to keep giving it a couple of whiffs as it reminded me of something... Then, BAM!, it hit me! This is like a much lighter, less cloying version of Versace Blue Jeans. I had to go check it out (love to challenge the nose!) and sure enough, the majority of the notes in EfM2019 are notes present within Blue Jeans. So if you are blind buying, I can confidently say that if you have smelled Blue Jeans, this is SIMILAR with its notes. The "vibe" is just lighter and I would think you can still tell the difference between the two. I even think the Salt and Lime might be one of the things helping this stand apart, gives it that Nautica Voyage "air" about it that someone else mentioned. It has decent longevity and same with the sillage. Nothing over the top, balanced all around except that very initial opening.

The person who commented before me needs a nostril job and a quick IT training how not to post a review 3 times. Also, the content of his review is totally misleading the reader. This fragrance is actually stunning. Another perfect summer release from the Eternity line which almost each year manages to produce an outstanding quality summer fragrance. This is one of the best so far. Not too sweet rather dry an has some sort of a great herbal character to it which makes it interesting and standout. It manages not to push the aquatic theme, rather make it smell like an exotic landscape. Sort of a deserted, hot, sandy countryside with some vegetation. Like from a Western movie. Very good performance also. Utter love from me.

Smells almost exactly like Tommy Bahama St. Barts with better performance! I love St. Barts except the performance is terrible so for me this is great!

Eternity for Men Summer 2019 is a really good smelling CK Eternity for Men summer limited release. Is it original, no. Is it a great performer, no, just an OK which given it is par for the course for Calvins. Eternity for Men Summer 2019 is really good and I think it is similar in quality to the CK One Summer editions. Eternity for Men Summer 2019 is pretty much what you get with Love & Luck with some Tommy Summer 2016. This is the main knock on it, but it does it pretty well. In the open, you do get the bergamot and the lime mixing as well as the sea salt. The sea salt being the most differing note for Eternity to Love & Luck. These three notes are the strongest with the sea salt being the most prominent. In the mid, sage mixes in with the sea salt. All three base notes (amber, musk and cedar) are there, but all are just there as the scent is a skin scent by this point. I want to say there is some driftwood accord in there too. I do not however really notice basil or corriander. Eternity for Men Summer 2019 is not a strong fragrance nor does it perform that great. I mean it is a Calvin and we all know that besides Reveal and Euphoria flankers, most CK fragrances don't have great performance. That said it is a pretty good summer getaway/summer vacation scent that you can refresh on throughout the day. I wore it a few times in Disney World two weeks ago and it worked for me and I am pretty sure I will wear it on my cruise next year. But I can also wear it to work and causally as well too. Overall Eternity for Men Summer 2019 is the best Eternity for Men flanker I have come across. I haven't smelt the Cologne or Parfum which sound like contenders. That said, I think this can be a summer must wear. Would I go out and get it, yes but only if you do not own Love & Luck or a similar fragrance to it already. Had I known that, maybe I wouldn't have bought it. For this, I rate Eternity for Men Summer 2019 a 7 out of 10.
