Eternity (for women)

JB78

This is my Aunt Lisa's signature perfume, and has been since 1988. I love this one so much. When Calvin Klein launched Eternity in 1988, it was a nice change to some of the heady fragrances earlier in that decade. I get a lot of freesia out of this one. It is so crisp and clean smelling and really makes you feel good about yourself. If you are old enough like me to remember the insane popularity this perfume had, then you also probably remember how people oversprayed this perfume. I think this is the main reason so many dislike this fragrance. If used in moderation(1-2 sprays) it is really nice. It is a 21 year old classic that has stood the test of time. Everytime I spray it on I think of my Aunt and all the good memories of the late 80's and early 90's. Eternity reminds me of the Saved By The Bell days and Wilson Phillips days. I associate all of my fragrances with music and shows of the same decade.lol:)

I love this one, but unfortunately it does not smell good on me. On certain people, like my aunt who wears this as a signature scent, it is fantastic. On me however, smells awful and too musty. I like the top notes on this one. If it smells good on you, than go for it!

I have decided I want a Calvin Klein and so I started testing...
This was so soft , so ethereal , so frail so very fading away...
An amalgam of dusted delicate flowers on a translucid weightless base... Temporal. A short life , just a moment of briliance in a highly evolving world.
I loved the fact that after several tests it didn't make me crinckle my nose.
Indecisive about aquiring this or not.

This one is...all about love, addictive and misterious for eternity.

To me this fragrance is light,flowery,fresh and sweet and also my personal favourite fragrance Calvin Klein.
It's an absolutely gorgeous perfume!

I had an english teacher in the 7th and 8th grade who wore this. And i didn't like her very much. So, unfortunately this reminds me of her. Even so, it has a slightly smokey aspect about that I could never reconcile myself with. Its not particularly girly, but I suppose it would suit a confident and self assured woman.

You know, what is curious for me is that it was with a Calvin Klein that I´ve learnt I could apreciate floral ones. In general Calvin Klein makes me think about something defiant and cunning, not very common to floral ones. But it is probably a CK way to express this flowery image.
I remember it as unique, probably because of this, it used to have so many imitations.

A gift I got from friend.

I can't wear this perfume!It gives me headache everytime. I hate the smell. But I do realise this perfume smell nicer and softer after like an hour, when it dries. But I just can't stand the strong smell it gives on top. What note is that?? I don't know, I just dislike.

I think that this has to be Calvin Klein's impressionistic masterpiece. It is very complex, indeed. The way it passes through different stages so effortlessly and beautifully is just amazing. It doesn't fade or turn into something foul, it just shifts between one layer of flower to another perfectly. The perfume is everything I associate with romantic and classic - and has a staying power few perfumes can match. A true winner.

It reminds me to something old and something sweet like a poison.

I bought this because its considered one of the classics. What do I have to say about it? YUCK Gave it to a friend who loves it.

This scent reminds me of college senior year. Calvin totally summed up the end of an era the 80's and the beginning of a new outlook.

I graduated in 1990 and times were changing from the earlier days of greed and over want those values were starting to fade out. AIDS was a new great fear on everyone’s mind and safe sex if any was the way.

It was the end of college and youth for now was time to join the full time working world and leave the rambunctious years behind. Every girl on campus was ditching their Obsession and Poison for a fresh relief. Eternity brought it all together like an old fashion bouquet of flowers with a modern twist. Though in those early 90's they still had not learned that fragrances don't have to be that strong to make an impact.

Eternity brings great memories from my days on university. It was a man magnet, and even some of my proffessor's commented on it. Test it again i can see how loud it is( I wasn't aware of that back then) . But as this is a Sophia Grosjman perfume it makes sense. She Knows how to make radiant scents. Now i see it as bighearted camp, a delightful fairytale of love-conquering-all( See the whole campaign, perfume, ad photos etc). A warm tribute to the suburban girl, exhilarating, hilariously sad and beautiful crafted. The citrus and the very spicy spring floral,the powder of the violets that enters the picture in the middle notes, hand in hand with a dewy honeyed white blossom and a bit high pitched sandalwood end. i still find it as easygoing and crystal clear except of the drydown that seems a bit more forced. After all it belongs to my youth and nothing can change that!

tessture

Very pretty. Soft, faint musky floral without the cloying clump of icky vanilla a lot of musk/floral blends rely on. Nice. The sample didn’t last at all for longevity.

katyas

While this perfume smells OK, I don't much like it - it is too ... too much like everything else. I don't like the citrus scent at the top or the powdery finish, and these overwhelm all other fragrance notes on my skin.

Jasraeldesigns

When I first smelled this one, it reminded me of cherry popsicles! lol
I loved it, as it took me to my childhood instantly when I smelled it. I believe its the carnation and patcholli in the end for me. I like it and have not thought of this one in YEARS!!! its a classic, and I think its fine time we bring these oldies but goodies back into rotation.

So I will be purchasing this one this weekend for sure!

Thanks Calvin :-)

Someone once dumped a bottle on my doorstep as a prank b/c everyone knew how much i hated this scent. Is it the carnation, or the heliotrope?, I don't know but it's bitter, pungeant and tooooo strong. I smell NO wood whatsoever, but I am a wood fanatic which is maybe why this scent doesn't work for me. I get headaches if I'm around it too long.

I've never smelled a flower garden here, rather synthetic but tempting product of some unknown and strange alchemy..

I like it a lot, but enjoy more smelling it occasionally from the bottle. I find it difficult to wear, especially when indoors, slightly too sharp and bitter. It is ideal for my taste after about 10hrs.. I would be really indescribably happy if this scent would be a little down key..

essija

This was a nice scent, yes it can be overwhelming if sprayed too much. Its perfect for everyday and I got a lot of compliments. It just didn't have that WoW quality for me. I ended up giving mine to my step daughter.. Maybe more popular with younger girls.. I needed something more unique.

When I first tried it, it reminded me of Yves St. Laurent Paris. I was a little hesitant because Paris is not really a scent I love, it's ok but nothing special. This perfume is much better than YSL Paris in my opinion and I can tolerated more. I'm not to crazy with the first notes as it's really sharp and bitter, but when it dries down a bit it's a marvelous scent.

Malegria

Eternity is meant to be used in micro doses...Only then it reveals itself as it is - the wonderful watercolor painting of a beautiful flower garden. It reminds me Paris by YSL in it`s base, but Eternity is more bitter and sharp. The marigold heart of a perfume is adorable, and I feel roses all the time I wear it.

A light application of this perfume is a must. I like this perfume very much although it does not smell like anything natural if that makes sense. I suppose the word I'm looking for is synthetic... But I love how big, loud and proud it is-there really is no ignoring Eternity. I think it has got a bit of a bad rap over the years as one can admit it is somewhat dated. But I can honestly say that this is the perfume that I wear that gets the most compliments from men...The staying power is absolutely amazing. It is clean scent and should be worn when you want to get attention.

guest_Sultane

One of the best..my boyfriend loves it on me. My friends and colleagues are always asking me ich perfume i'm wearing...Stays on me the wole day. Strong. A Masterpiece. True.

loretta

great fragrance, but I can´t stand it on hot days... strong , long lasting, very good

annehke

This perfume smells similar to the smell of biology class. This perfume has the
smell of the giant buckets of animals preserved in formaldehyde for dissection in biology class. It has been 20 years since the perfume debuted and I was in biology class, and to this day I cannot shake the familiarity, connection, and similarity of these two scents.

Lisa

Este perume es un clásico de clásicos, nunca cansa y es al mismo tiempo casual y especial. Me encanta, siempre hay que tener uno de estos en casa.

tasha0705

well, this is a beautiful perfume, for extraordinary women, those you crave for, but can only watch from a distance...It is much different than all the other scents, because it almost doesn't change on my skin. It is cold and yet extremely attractive, intriguing...I wore it on my wedding day and felt like our love would last forever...

LORENA

beautiful flowers and strong mandarin orange, I wear it once a month, usually on windy days. I like it better in the air than on my skin, not suitable on hot days I think, but a great perfume

perfumista

I love it on others, but after a while it does give me a headache. so I couldn't wear it...

amanda

its a beautiful scent, when it dries down it smells like the perfect perfume, when i smell this i have to wonder where this wonderful smell comes from, then i realize it was me.
its quite a strong perfume still being delicate and tender. but dont put on too much,

Halvah

I still love it. Maybe it behaves just the opposite way on different skins. When I wear it I feel that the world is just beautiful.

aroma-ga

i like this perfume, and it don't smels like a baby pawder:) it's so fresh, and the flowers there very beautiful

Nuppu

Classic and somehow crystal clear scent. For me this is everything right, nothing bothers, beautiful flowers just right way, great lasting power, and always make me feel good. True love with this one.

Passionflower

I love it! Everytime I smell it. It makes me feel happy.

indigo.smile

When it dry, i think it quite nice. the flowery scent appeal nicely slight warm and strong. But i'm not prefer to use it in my casual time

perfume_lover

I hate this perfume. GIve me a headache whenever i spray it on.

Halvah

When I first tried it, I hated it too. Carnation is definetely not my flower, and I felt it's smell annoying, depressing. A few years later, without coming across with it, but reading a lot of compliments, I started to long for it, and bought a small bottle. Now this is one of my favourites. It's very sophisticated, excellent quality and unique, even if popular and well-known, often-worn. Improves my mood when I'm happy and qualm, but sometimes it makes my depression even deeper when I'm upset. It really lives - I would assume.

guest_Sitara

Every time i use it people ask me what perfume I'm using. I feel more confident .
