Eternity Rose Blush (for women)

It's the 'Shirley Temple' effect: take a little ginger ale and infuse with a touch of grenadine. Plop a cherry on top. Keeps the kids happy; lets mom and dad swill their grown-up drinks in peace. 'Eternity' has not left the building -- it's still the most prominent aroma in Rose Blush. I get the feeling that there was less of a blending of fruit and flowers into the original than a handsome dollop of them over the whole composition. It's not bad like that. I do miss the swoop of heliotrope in the original, but welcome the fruit and the extra sandalwood in RB.

In the end, harmless, sweet and diverting. Feel free to wear it whilst crammed onto a commuter jet, holding onto the straps of a loaded subway, or leaning over the cubicle of the most allergic girl in the office. CK Rose Blush speaks no evil. Will not take you to the heights of your olfactory sensibilities, and it smells like you could probably actually drink it if you wanted to. Sometimes I like smelling so ingenuous. I mean, who doesn't like a little 'Shirley Temple' now and then?

Very synthetic and pharmaceutical. No body or roundness. Poor sillage and mediocre longevity. I adore Rose scents, and can tolerate the original Eternity, but find this awful.

Waterlily mostly then sandalwood at the end. Not enough depth, character or prettiness. Plain and a bit brash, then just boring. It leaves me wishing for something more. More rose, more layers, more personality, I'm not sure what, but there needs to be more.

I got three mini bottles of this, tried it, didn't like it, sold two of them and then, when I tried it again, I liked it. Ironic. It is soft and the rose scent doesn't come through as strongly as I would like, but it is there, with a sort of soft spiciness behind it. I'll likely want to get some more when I finish off the mini I have. Unless I change my mind about it again. :-)
