Eternity Purple Orchid Calvin Klein for women

love it my all time favorite...too bad its discontinued.

Half of the wondrous experience of Purple Orchid is the beautiful bottle it comes in. I only have a mini bottle, but it is a lovely, royal purple, an electric purple that makes one feel almost regal with it on their bathroom counter. The juice itself is lush and aggressive at first spray, and surrounds the wearer in a fruity, musky, cloud of sheer enjoyment. I can detect the same fruity and woody accords found in Mugler's Womanity when I wear this, especially the longer I wear it. Plums and pure clean soap, as well as a slight nuance of orchid venture in and lead the way to a slightly tart drydown. Like most of Calvin Klein's fragrances this is not something I could wear everyday, but when I do, I really enjoy it.

The purple hue of the bottle is simply captivating.i would love to own it if only just for the rich purple.

I absolutely loved this perfume! I have been so disappointed that CK discontinued a perfect fragrance! Every time I am in a store and make comment about Purple Orchid, everyone just moans and agree's that it was a wonderful fragrance and that CK always discontinues it's best fragrances! Wish they would bring it back!

Eternity Purple Orchid is really nothing like the original Eternity. This flanker is not so clean and flowery, in some ways it seems darker and more unique.

I was initially struck by how sweet and plummy the scent was. It was somehow rich and dramatic, yet light and airy at times. I enjoyed it because it had this interesting sensual and fruity soapiness, which was rather difficult to describe.

The fruit notes, like the peach and plum are quite candied and jam-like, so when blended with the soft, soapy floral accords, Eternity Purple Orchid smells like a watered-down, flowery gourmand. If that is even possible. I guess the almond and vanilla notes towards the drydown further my opinion.

Despite being a confusing fragrance to my nose, it was one that I quite liked. For the first few hours I couldn't stop smelling it. At times it can be a little chemical smelling and bland, but when compared to other Eternity flankers, this fragrance fares quite well.

The packaging itself, with its eye-catching purple bottle, is quite alluring. It's hard to walk past such an interesting looking fragrance. I think in a weird kind of a way, Eternity Purple Orchid, while not an orchid based scent, is very 'purple' in its approach. What I'm trying to say is that the colour suits the scent's personality.

Unfortunately the longevity is not all that impressive. I would have liked the fragrance to last just that little bit longer. But all in all, I'm happy to have found this fragrance before it disappears altogether as it was an experience in itself.

I adore this smell... it is really me :)

On my skin it opens with crisp, clean green notes yet there's a hint of an attractive bouquet lingering in the background. It moves on to make your mouth water with the plumlicious scents of fruit. The floral notes of this perfume are ever present but are balanced so well with the base notes that none are allowed to dominate!

To me, it is a playful smell... that teases your senses.

really good one

I don't particularly care for CK perfumes, but this one is different! In fact when I was looking for a 'tropical' perfume for my caribbean wedding, this one is the one I picked. Very exotic without being over done, and has great staying power! Love it!

I have to try this scent.I love purple colour, and judging by the reviews I just have to have it.

Very light, demure, feminine for sure..
I could not enjoy it until the top notes wore off. It wasn't very interesting until perhaps one half hour had passed. Then I could really feel that great composition that is a Floral Woody Musk- gentle, intriguing, lovely..The freesia is there, loud and clear, the orchid is faint. The original Eternity is still recognizeable here (unfortuneately). As for the base, it seems to have vanilla in it, but it's not too heavy... It must be result of the mix of (very artificial smelling) almonds,
musk, and the woodsy notes (perhaps cedar and / or Brazillian rosewood). I am not too impressed by this scent.
For its positive points- it has the CK style, and it's a delicate, unassuming, possibly classy, "nice" floral.

i love this one so much !

>////< my bf also likes it.

I can't find the similar one.
Can anyone suggest me?

Purple is my favorite color so I'm always looking the the perfect purple scent. I didn't care for this one even though I loved the name and the bottle. I was expecting more floral and all I got was super sweet citrus and woods. And what is it about CK perfumes? Are they all so teeth-achingly sweet? Maybe it's just the Eternity line that's like that.
Oh well, the search continues.

Oh, what a beautiful orchid scent! So subtle, light, but not adolescent. I should say it's kind of sad scent, not joyful. Like purple colour itself. Gentle and melancholic. For spring and summer days.

Ahhh! The wonderful world of PURPLE*ORCHID! This perfume brings back so many wonderful memories. I still remember the day I recieved the giftset one summer when I was alot younger. When I first smelled it at Macy's, the aroma of this bottle of juice drove me absolutely wild.

From the dark purple color of the perfume bottle, I was expecting a heady, sexy, spicy fragrance, but Purple Orchid was nothing like that. The opening floral-fruity notes assaulted my nose in the most pleasant way, taking me along a path of summery goodness. Plums, orchids and freesia flowed beside me, and then around me, and then enveloped me as I stumbled into a decadent garden encompassed by time. At the end of the day I gladly welcomed the woodsy drydown as the scent lingered on and lucious florals and a hint of ripe fruits decided to hang around also.

I haven't smelled Purple Orchid in years, but I still haven't forgotten how beautiful it was and how delightful it was to wear. I can't help but think about thick, lush and ripe purple grapes surrounded by purple orchid blossoms when I smell this. In my opinion Purple Orchid is one of Calvin Klein's better scents. It's pleasant, romantic and ideal for the summer.

What a beautiful fragrance! How I missed this I don't know, this is so much better than org Eternity in my opinoin. I love the woodsy notes I get from this, its very floral but in just the right amount I like. I don't like big bold florals as they give me a headache, this is made just perfect for me. Love it

It was a gift from a friend. Nice and floral, but not my thing. Maybe too floral for me... And I don't like the bottle either, plain and thoughtless, it would take about 5 minutes to create something like that.

P.S. The fragrance is discontinued.

Not very complex but great for a change of summer perfume - I keep it in my travel bag so to use it once in awhile is perfect but because it is so simple. You would not want to wear it everyday.
