This is a fantastic fragrance. I get a woody scent with a touch of sweetness. I do get the orchid scent, and orchids just happen to be some of my favorite flowers, so that works for me. I can see how this could be on the sweeter side for some people. I think my skin just pulls wood and spice out of fragrances more than anything else.
This perfume is definitely sweetest on first spray and softens up on the dry down. So, if you're on the hunt for a sweet and fruity perfume, this may not be for you as any fruit that I can identify in this fragrance dies down to woody florals after the first 30min-hour. On my skin anyway.
The longevity is pretty moderate. The sillage is also moderate.
Just fyi for you ladies looking for this, the 1.7 oz bottle is on sale on groupon. :D (5/17/2013) I know I'm always on the hunt for killer bargains on lovely fragrances. Happy hunting!
I like this but it is too sweet on my skin candy sweet a friend I have wears this and it works on her smells good on her!
Wow fragrance can be so different on people, on me this was SO SWEET! Like candy happy sugar rush sweet! Smelled very similar to Betsey Johnson on me, which others have also said smelled masculine on them. I get nothing but the pomegranate and apple, it's nice but a Little too young for me, I was hoping more of the musk would come through on me. It wore for a long time maintaining the original first spray.
For some reason, this just doesn't work for me.
On my skin, it smelled of pomegranate and patchouli, even though there's no patchouli here. It lasted about an hour or two..
So overall, I'm not lucky enough to have the skin chemistry to fully appreciate this beauty. It smells gorgeous on paper, but my skin decided to eat this alive.
I can appreciate that Euphoria is interesting and well-crafted even if don't usually like scents like that. Too similar to original Nina Ricci and Judith Leiber Night in its musky excessive sweetness. The fleeting likable notes of wood and violet in the beginning are too fleeting to make any great difference on the general tone of the composition.
I smelt this the other day on my second cousin and WHOA!!! it had monster sillage and it smelt so HOT and Like pomegranate with sexy peppery whiffs coming every now and then... I asked her what was she wearing she told me euphoria... so I decided to give it a try... I went to my local perfumery and tried it there I put a lot on my neck and wrists and went out to see how it is during the day... my friends said it was nice but only when they like were so close... they could barely smell it... they said it was just "sweet" and nothing else... so its not right for my skin chemistry.... unfortunately I wanted to love this... but seems like its not for my skin!
Yes this is definitely a frag for confident women. It's unique but now every other girl has it.
Extremely sexy perfume, synthetic, but in a good way. I wear this whenever I need an instant boost of confidence. It's sensual and rich, also amazingly long-lasting.
This is one of my go-to evening fragrances, or for when I'm in a darker, moodier state of mind. It makes me think of red wine and dark chocolate (not the scent of chocolate, more the intensity and power of a piece of good, high-quality dark chocolate), and is a fairly sexy, assertive scent. I don't get where people are getting the masculine element in this, but perhaps that is because I don't associate woody scents with masculinity. My mother is a skilled woodworker, so the amber and woods make me think of her.
The pomegranite is quite pronounced at first, which is maybe where I get the wine association. This quickly blends into the floral mid-notes, without fading entirely into the background. The dry-down is more warm and sultry, as the musk and woods come to the foreground. After a few hours, those are the primary scents that linger.
I tried wearing this to work, but felt self-conscious, as I felt it was a rather strong, assertive fragrance for daytime use, and the sillage is quite powerful. It is perfect for more intimate settings and evening use, however. I even sometimes spritz a bit on just before bed, as I love to smell it as I fall asleep. My husband wasnt' much of a fan, as all he got from it was musk, but he isn't terribly interested in fragrances. He leans toward the spicy orientals, particularly Poison (which I can't stand), so I thought this might be his "type," but apparently not.
This is boozy. Picture spilling an entire glass of Merlot down the front of you.
I tried this one on a warm spring day and it might have been not the best idea in my life. It smells like candy on my skin. Nothing deep, nothing interesting. Simple. Maybe it was too warm, maybe wrong mood. I smell the amber and the mahogany, don't get the musk. Overall the flower combination killed it for me. Too sweet, too girly. Not mature enough. Not what I would have expected. Nothing for femme fatale, more something for the sweet girl from next door. At least for me...
Strong and powerful fragrance, perfect for late autumn (November) and winter evenings. Such a sultry, musky scent for very confident girls in their 20s/30s. Really good for clubbing and bar-hopping as it stays on forever!
I love the long lasting fragrance, starts out strong but evens out through the day. I get a lot of complements on how the fragrance is so much like my personality. Love it and so does my husband
Perfume is meant to accentuate the woman/man, not "make" them. This is another perfume where less is more. That saying derives from Leonardo DaVinci's quote, "simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication". Ever been somewhere and someone came in wearing too much perfume? So much that you can't smell anything else in the room? It's like they're yelling, "ATTENTION EVERYONE, ATTENTION! I ...AM...WEARING...PERFUME! THAT IS ALL! YOU MAY NOW RESUME YOUR DAY!" It might make you say, "good for you, sweetheart, but do you mind toning it down so that others can breathe more comfortably?" The amount of perfume actually detracted attention from the woman, with more attention paid to the perfume itself...and not in a good way. It was loud and obnoxious! This perfume can be one of those perfumes to do just that depending on how you apply it. Perfumery is a work of art but YOU are the real masterpiece. Applied correctly with nicely applied makeup, wardrobe, and accessories, and you will be stunning...not the perfume knocking people out!
Now, about the perfume itself. This is a gorgeous oriental scent starting out with a loud blast of pomegranate. It may smell slightly synthetic, but that dies down as it develops on your skin. Then, the orchid and lotus steps in giving this composition an exotic and kind of spicy floral aroma. Woodiness sets in later with the mahogany and you get a rather sweet powdery-ness with the sweet amber and violet that can project, and project, and project. Yes, the sillage is huge! See why I say wear this lightly?
My advise with this is to try this at home first to see how it reacts with your skin and adjust how you apply it. If you're prone to getting headaches, this may not be a good choice. Might be able to wear it to the office, but I suggest either spraying in the air and walk through or on a cotton ball and dabbing it on your skin. Night time, 1-2 spritz maximum.
Edit: I had to return this perfume. Third time wearing it, the violets became so cloying that I couldn't stand it and the headache was unbelievable accompanied by nausea. That's with just dabbing a little on and it was cold outside. Never had a perfume affect me that badly before. Worse than a hangover.
Note to self: wait a few wearings before reviewing.
this is a nice sexy fragrance, on me it starts out with a huge pomegranate explosion that is almost too overwhelming which then follows into a sweet powdery musk which im very fond of i get a slight floral sweetness which is quite nice, while not my favourite oriental i still really like this bold scent i find it slightly more daytime friendly than my favourites dior hypnotic poison, bvylgari jasmine noir,plus its a better price, so it just might new scent this winter.
I used to hate this fragrance. I found it very masculine and nearly aggressive. I sold my bottle on ebay. But that was before I developped a passion for fragrances...
I recently got a sample and tried it again. I realize that my perception of scents has completely changed since I have been on fragrantica.
Euphoria strikes me as an uncredibly dark and sexy fragrance which remains mostly fruity on my skin, even in the drydown. I don't know why so many people are convinced I wear Jimmy Choo because they don't seem alike to me at all!
What I particularly enjoy in this perfume is that despite its strength, it never gets nauseating -as sweet fragrances tend to do on me- and lasts all day. I sometimes get whiffs of fresh pomegranate juice, sometimes dark woody notes.Very sexy indeed... So I bought a new bottle and I enjoy it so much that it may become my current signature!
Chicks who wear this at clubs smell SO hot.
If someone wants to swap just email me! I have a 50ml nealy full :)
I love Euphoria! I do notice that it smells the best on me a good 3 hours after spraying it on. I dont fully understand "notes" and perfume lingo as of yet, but I definately smell different "scents" each hour that passes when Im wearing Euphoria, and I really that. It's like Im wearing three perfumes in one. Although I really like this fragrance, it's not a perfume that I wear often. Evenings+special occasions=Euphoria!
This isn't a bad fragrance. I wasn't like gross get it away from me. It's just... Boring. The Mahogany and amber together are too overpoweing to enjoy the pomegranate and orchid. This one isn't for me.
The pomegranate in this comes out a bit grapey. The scent overall reminds me of a musky red wine with traces of the oak barrels it was aged in. If I had to pick, I'd say a sweet red wine or sangria. Yum Yum. Love it. Perfect for me, I manage a wine store. I think I am drunk already. LOL.
Update: Has a bit of a reminder of Poison to the scent, without the incense.
I wish the bottle was designed better. The actual tube inside that gets the liquid to the sprayer is positioned to stop straight down in the center of the bottle base. If it was longer and maybe placed up against one of the pointy sides....well, I could tip the bottle to that side when it was near the end. As of now, I am forced to shake the bottle as I spray, to try to get the last of the liquid out.
The bottle is also a bit difficult to hold when trying to spray it. I have the large 3.4 ounce size and I find my hand losing it's grasp when I try to grip it to spray it. Then, when I do, the nozzle twists and it often misses my wrist.
Wow, I'm really surprised by the notes. To me all this smells like is patchouli, patchouli, a little bit of sweetness and then way more patchouli. It's like Angel mixed with a bit of Flowerbomb, and then another megadose of patchouli. Way too much patchouli for me, it's not the nice kind like in Chanel Chance, it's the earthy, dirty kind.
i so muchly luv this frag...its gonna be part of my wadrobe...and a masterpiece...its a a hit and run frag...it conquers the building with its unique scent..very strong. projection is awesome..it last last last the whole week...i spray it once in a week.
Again, one of my absolute favorites. Its sweet and mysterious. U will be noticed in a crowd. Its not a shy person scent. U must have the confidence to strut this perfume =)
This perfume is gorgeous. It's comforting. It's everything. I just love it. I might make this my signature.
I am new to appreciating and collecting perfume, but I am trying to approach it as I do wine tasting (looking at differences in ingredients, notes, and often finding something to appreciate in each one). I have found that Euphoria is one fragrance that gives me a more difficult time sensing objectively.
Scent is closely tied to memory. It forms emotional connections based on the things or people we associate it with. I associate Euphoria with a very bossy older woman I know well who wears it as her signature. Where others smell something bold and perhaps unique in it, I sense an almost masculine energy that is shouting, "I am in charge!"
I have tried to appreciate it for what it is, but that emotional connection just won't allow it. :(
My subjective opinion here:
In general I like fresh women perfumes more, though most of them smell the same (I mean nothing outstanding).And the heavier ones usually are too candy or cheaply sweet.So I don't find many women scents appealing.But this one stands out.
It is by far the sexiest perfume for women. CK euphoria is a dark, mysterious, alluring, seductive scent that works like a pheromone and I thought there isn't such a thing like pheromones. The name is perfect, it really gives euphorical feel.
One day I brought a strip with this scent from shop and gave it to my mates. They kept sniffing the strip and repeating how good this stuff is. So it's just not me
Longevity/sillage - Not sure about them though it is definitely a heavier one. I easily can pick this up in the streets if someone's wearing.
Versatility - definitely an evening time scent but just because I like it so much I don't mind smelling it during the day.But if I were a woman, I would keep it for special occassion - when I want to look and do best.
Because I'm a guy and I don't own it I will rate only the scent itself:
10/10 pure sex!
I like this perfume, but on it's own it is far too woody for my taste. I'm not one to wear "dark" scents, and on me, this is very dark, as the woods stand out more than anything else. It almost smells masculine with my chemistry. If it had some vanilla to add softness, I think it would wear better on my skin. The only perfume I could compare it to is Imari Seduction by Avon, which I also own, but Imari Seduction has vanilla & amber instead of woods, and it is much creamier on me. I will use the rest of my bottle of Euphoria, but I will layer it with other perfumes that have a creamy note. I layered it with Imari seduction today, and the result is a creamy scent that is heavy on the plum & orchid...I love it! I think I will experiment & layer this with some other creamy vanilla scents & see how it transforms.

This is a beautiful, soft, feminine sexy scent that my husband loves on me. It's classy, floral, pretty, powdery with my chemistry. My favorite CK scent.
On me it is warm-soft and sexy-strong..
This is not princess scent this is Real Queen scent!
(and i am just 22)
And i saw funny comments like no longevity-really?are you kidding? You must be bought fake one or really dont work on your skin.. I used on my body and clothes and it smells nearly 3-4 day ..
Most strong perfume in the World.. (to me)
And this is my forever signature.. (even i have like 110 bottle)
What can i say ?
This is my first and last obsession my entire life..
Damnnn i am in love with this.
Got this one in CK package of small perfumes and never really tried it until recently. Interesting and very powerful scent. I actually like it as I like myself to be strong and independent personality, but not sure it would make you feminine with men as it's a bit manly...
I bought this without even smelling it first because a friend that works at a perfume store told me that men just love it and they come in constantly to buy it for their wives, or girlfriends. It was hard to keep it in stock due to the high demand. I was looking for a new fragrance so I bought it. Upon sniffing the bottle at home, I thought I had mistakenly bought the men's version. When I realized that it was the correct one, I figured it must smell better on the skin. It doesn't. If you want a rugged, masculine aftershave-like smell--this is for you. I am really mystified by this one.
The first stages are exelent! It smells like mandarin juice in a elegant perfumey way (must be the pomegranate).
But after the opening it turns very masculine (lotus and woody notes) :( and all the great fresh fruity notes disappear!
...no longevity, no sillage...disappointment, but good scent anyway
Men can really easy wear this fragrance,it's masculine,and warm,beautiful,i think for both sex...unisex,i love it :))
On me it smells almost masculine. It projects strong even after i washed it off. I don't like it.
Before last weekend i needed to come here and tell you about this.
I went to a party and 8 persons asked me about my parfum! "Which parfum are you using? It's amazing!!!"
The sillage is enormous and the longevity in my skin is untill I take a shower.
I feel it woody, a little bit sweet, and fresh ~clean~ and warm at the same time. Definitly, one of my favorites scent!
But I live in Brasil (sorry about my english) and here the weather is too hot, so i use it in colder days or at night.
It is definitelly well done, everything seems to match, the bottle, the scent, the adverts. It must be one of the best CK fragrances. Oriental floral, with fruity notes. Sweet, but not too sweet. It is rich, thick and dark. I'm on my second bottle now. I think my euphoria towards Euphoria is slightly smaller though. Still I think it's a very nice fragrance, but I don't wear it as often as I used to and It's no longer as special to me.
My perfume EVER!
Rich, classy and elegant. Those 3 words describe it the best. I used to have a lot of decants of Euphoria in the past (there was tiny store where you could buy whatever amount of perfume you wanted from a huge container) and then i loved it. It was unique in a way and smelled expensive. Now it reminds me of classy lady office in a short skirt which i sometimes pass in a shopping mall. It became too common. I still like it a lot especially the woody powdery drydown but it's not so special anymore to me. I enjoyed my sample but i'm not planning to buy full bottle unless on sale :)
Wow, only 7 notes huh? I must say, this is a beautiful scent. This is an oriental floral done right. It's not spicy or clean like many other Calvin Klein's. It's sweet, exotic, warm, a little fruity, a little musky, and sensual. It has an incense vibe to it like others mentioned. It's exactly what I like in a fragrance-balanced fruits and florals, long-lasting, can be worn in the office or formally, no powder, not too many notes competing against one another, and not too strong but not too weak. This is CK's best IMO. Very unique and an instant classic.
I prefer the dry down over the initial smell. The dry down smells incens-y to me and I like that. I dont dislike this, but I like the Forbidden Euphoria better.
This smelled sour on me. Sad :(
I wish my whole house could smell like this....The dry down to me smells very incense-y. I guess its the amber and mahogany...reminds me of sandalwood....or Pier One Imports! I dont get fruit at all with this...not like Forbidden Euphoria!...which is fruitulicious! Euphoria is mysterious, cozy, probably more suited for the colder season. Wow I love this stuff. I WILL own it.
This scent is fresh and clean while still being sexy and spicy. There is something about CK scents to me-no matter how spicy, flowery, or fruity they are, they still have a clean feeling to me. They all seem to have a bit of a masculine vibe to them too; this one included. However, this is not a bad thing. I like sweet scents, but I don't want to smell like that every single day. This is such a mysterious scent that really changes throughout the day. It starts out with a spicy, fruity scent and then it starts smelling very clean and crisp then dries down to a woodsy creamy smell. Overall, I'm loving the versatility of this scent.
woody spicy and musky, even though this is a little too potent and masculine for my taste, the drydown is quite nice.
p.s. this needs to be sprayed lightly. not suitable for hot weather.
I just got a sample and it sits pretty close to the skin. But when I smell it, I am almost looking around to see what male has passed by me. It's definitely masculine, but on a woman its sultry and sexy like she knows what she wants. It keeps me wanting more. I like it, but it's not something I'd wear during the day.
Only 7 notes in this vixen? LOVE this scent. I was just reaching adolescent when i receive a miniature of this from my aunt. I may say that this orchid beauty set off my sexuality.. Teehee.
Such dark and daring silver lady.
I love how the darkness from this perfume is not gloom, it is rather fresh and clean. It embodies sensuality and makes me think of sharp and defined facial features. ;()
Sillage is monstrous and last about 4+ hours, pretty good to get the job done in the meantime.
La la la la la la .
:9
Enormous sillage.... for the first hour or so.
Then it just keels over onto its side. It still smells alright in a synthetic candlewax way, but I find Amy Childs - which is similar, but sharper and greener - lasts longer and agrees more with my chemistry.
Don't dislike it, don't love it.... not quite sure how much I like it either, though :/ .
Sophisticated perfume by Calvin Klein with a distinct Pomegranate-scented opening smell. It has middle tones of black orchid & black violet with powdery base note of musk, amber & wood. Great choice for night time in any season & for sophisticated ladies.
The opening is amazing, love it! But the drydown is too sweet on my skin. Whatever really nice perfume. Didnt work on me :(
The drydown is amazing...
From hate to love relationship.
I know that everybody knows this one very well.
I know it has many fake versions but....
....I can't resist it.
Although it's very popular I just had to have it.
And everytime I use it my love to Euphoria is becoming bigger.
Great woody-musky-velvety aroma.
Unfortunately on my skin it doesn't last long.
If I were to rename this fragrance, I would call it Powder Bomb. Euphoria by CK opens with a berry-scented powder which seems to be the impressionistic representation of pomegranate in a lot of fragrances, only this is berry powder + sugar.
The sweetness in Euphoria reminds me of the hard white candy stick used for dipping into flavored powders in a candy called Fun Dip. I attribute the short lived freshness to the lotus note, though I don't detect a true pomegranate or lotus coming through at any point.
This fragrance is extremely linear and two-dimensional. If you already own and enjoy anything remotely similar, it is definitely not worth owning this in addition.
As Euphoria continues to open on the skin, it is quite sweet, but instead of going in the direction of gourmand, it keeps tangy synthetic fruits and CGI florals hovering just above the rolling cloud of POWDER and warm musk.
It seems to me like the scent of Spring in a CGI garden. Get ready for your avatar to have the botanical stroll of a lifetime, or at least, one fine morning.
Euphoria is inoffensive and unremarkable, It doesn't smell at all natural, but it also doesn't seat me downwind from the exhaust vent at a plastic factory, so lackluster as it is, it succeeds in that it is not an abomination.
In the dry down, the florals disappear altogether and I am left with a slightly fruity VERY powdery musk, reminiscent of a cube-shaped strawberry flavored marshmallow.
Euphoria is a pretty (not gorgeous), successful and girly type of woman, just going through the motions in Second Life. She may have awesome hair, a sweet house and makes good money, but she doesn't breathe air.
If it was stronger I think I'd like it, but it just disappears into my skin - no silage, no longevity. A shame.
Wow, well I can understand why it's called Euphoria. This is exhillerating and intoxicating! This fragrance makes me happy and hyper, while at the same time being dark and classy. I totally relate to the review where someone said it was a "purple scent". That's spot on. This is the smell of purple. Super classy amazon at the casino frag to me. Beautiful, deep, sexy scent.
nothing to say except you can recognize the smell among 100s lovely
There's really nothing more I can add to all of these amazing reviews!
On my skin: a short while after first spray all I get is a slight floral note and the masculine woods, she's not very strong but she is lovely! I know that the masculine notes may be somewhat of a negative since this is a "female marketed" fragrance but it fits me well.
Euphoria will not be my favorite, nor my signature, but will always remain in our collection!
I will update after my wife gives me her review but for now I'll give this an 8 of 10 just because it suits my chemistry!
Hope this helps!
I find this stuff to be amazing!! It is uplifting and very addictive. Two of my friends hate it, so I got it as a gift. I thank God for their untrained noses because I am happy to own such a great perfume!!
I wore a sample of Euphoria yesterday. I was really eager to smell this perfume, as I have heard rave reviews and a lot of good things about it.
I sprayed it in the morning before work, I used a good four to five sprays and instantly smelt a pleasant fruity woody smell, so far so good.
The projection wasn't that strong although I could smell it on me still if I smelt my wrist I could smell dried down fruits & wood.
This is a sexy, dark and mysterious perfume. I wore it at the wrong time of day and in the wrong place (the office) so I didn't fully appreciate the darkness and the mystery that this perfume evokes.
At the end of the day the perfume began to smell like cat wee for some reason, it may have been because I was working out in the evening (i am not quite sure).
I enjoyed wearing this perfume and found it a great sexy nighttime scent, but not one I would purchase. It is an overall nice perfume but just needs more of a kick and a sparkle.
I surprise myself by writing this review as CK fragrances and I have not had the best of relationships. Euphoria, on the other hand, has made a believer out of me! Last night, following a hot bath, I decided to try something different. I reached for a gift bottle of Euphoria EDP and sprayed a few drops. I immediately felt almost transported to a large castle drawing room, seated before an oversized, blazing fireplace, wrapped in a velvet blanket, sipping a decadent chocolate liquer. There was a sense of luxury and coziness blending together, along with sensual soothing. This fragrance is definitely unique: an exotic blend of florals and sensuous woods, plus the sexiness of musk. It's warm, it's creamy, and its sweetness is not syrupy. It envelopes you like a thick, oversized sweater on a cold, rainy day. I find this fragrance, if anything, very soothing, very comforting, with undeniable sexual tones to it. It is chic, alluring, and luscious, with an almost edible quality to it. Overall, it is warm, mysterious and inviting; much like a seductive femme fatale whose hynotic eyes lock on to her latest victim. I cannot speak for others here...only myself...and, as I stated earlier, I have surprised myself with this review. I am somehow entranced by this fragrance and won't be surprised if one cold, winter evening, my husband will come home to find me wearing it, wrapped in a velet blanket before the blazing fireplace.
This is so perfect !
Tender, Feminine & noticeable at the same time..
On my skin it's fresh & sweet mostly the pomegranate & the lotus are the most noticeable ..
And it last for a good time ..
On my wish list .. on my fav. shelf ..
<3
this is sex-appeal in a bottle. euphoria is an explosion of bold violets,lotus,amber,pomegranate and woodsy accents. Euphoria lifts up my mood. It's an extroverted scent,beautiful and confident. very purplish in mu opinion because it has violets. very very feminine. and intense. not loud, but very noticeable!
I like it very much, especially in the winter. It can replace any other famous winter fragrance,without being heavy on vanilla,excessively disrupting or nauseous.
If I were to chose between CK fragrances, I would say that Euphoria comes first, then Eternity and then One, the latter 2 being very '90s scents.
Unforgettable! Very different, desirable, rich scent.
I like!
I bought this for my wife last Xmas and it is so good! (I have been heavily disappointed by CK on the Men's side as of late so I am pleasantly surprised by this lovely fragrance.) Excellent balance of class and sexy...Very pretty, I Love it!
Been wanting to try this for a while and finally sprayed some on my wrist just an hour ago. I loved it and found it very unique: a combination of sweet, woody and spicy that really enraptured me! I went on to do some quick grocery shopping, while feeling rather sexy and flirtatious! ...BUT, I'm now at home frantically smelling my wrist trying to find the scent...only a ghost of it remains--poor longevity, at least on my skin. I went from planning to buy it to dismissing the possibility in under an hour *sigh* I really wanted it to work on my skin!
Not sure why but I like this fragrance on other people, but there is a note in it that irritates me and in the end thats all I can smell.
Absolutely adore this perfume! It is very sweet,deep, feminine, sexy and seductive - all components for a perfect smell. In fact,it turned to be my signature scent.
I do very much like this perfume, but it seems too popular and it also reminds me of a horrible girl at college as she wore it daily. So I sadly associate this perfume with bullies. Lol
Nice otherwise.
I was first introduced to this by my friend in 2009 when I was around 14. I was fell in love with it immediately.
Three years later, I finally purchased it for myself.
At the first spray, it is very strong/potent. But with time the fragrance starts to break down and becomes sexy, mysterious and sophisticated. It is irrisistable, and it will certainly make you feel beautiful.
It's not too sweet, it has some masculine notes but in a good way, so it adds to its uniqueness. It reminds me of Japan for some reason, perhaps because it's quite oriental. It is also very long lasting and only a spray or too is needed.
This is beautiful.
I don't like sweet perfume. Somehow I think this one is ok. Sweet yet feminine and graceful. A little bit strong but matches its notes. I have a sample but probably will purchase it when I get 5 years older.
i dunno why i find this so irritating! i tried it and loved it, brought it home and hated it. i smelled it again and sort of changed my mind, but then disliked it again. it's like i want to like it, but there'sa sort of powdery spiciness that isnt doing it for me! :/
Oh God, it's been some time since a perfume has enchanted me such as this sexy creation.
It's unmistakable, original, strong, sexy, cozy even.
The woody note comes out the most on my skin (woody notes always shine on me) and it's smoothly mixed with orchid juicy and strong, it leaves a musky and amber-y trail and it just lasts and lasts and lasts like a champion :)
Projection is a monster on this one, a few spritzes fill out a room and make your presence known. I've read some reviews that think this smells unisex-ish...well i don't really smell that, it's feminine in the "power-bitch" / "expensive suit wearing" type-o-stuff.
I want it, it's a confidence building scent.
Top note is ok, I could stand it. Five minutes in and this fragrance is a scrubber on me.
I did give it maybe an hour or so more, for fairness sake but I get this really strange, burnt coffee taste, yes taste! at the back of my throat when I smell this.
It's extremely unpleasant and really strange!
What happened to my nose there???? Could it be the mahogany? Perhaps, but it's more wood polish so, then the actual wood itself.
Thankfully I just had a sample vial so no loss but no luck this time...
And I was DYING for a pomegranate frag.
vanilla1975 nailed it basically.
Very feminine and very long lasting fragnance. I love it!
First time when I used it I didn't like it much, but with the time I fell in love with this perfume.
It's one of my favourites!
This is a beautiful and timeless scent. I like the opening is quite an amazingly juicy, luscious dark berry is what I get. It dries down in about the duration of thirty minutes, and it smells of musk and powder along with the same pomegranate/berry scent, but morphed in such a way that provides intellect. Euphoria seems like it was made with such care and the characteristic of it resemble that of an sophisticated woman of ages 18 and up. It's very mature and bosomy, which is quite lovely.
Although I am not particularly fond of the scent of berries and pomegranates (which is odd because they both make my favorite blend in juices/smoothies), I am not basing my review off that. That would mean I'd give a bad review to every perfume that provides pomegranates and berries. I can still appreciate the composition, sexuality and sophistication of it's aurora.
I got a tester today, a sample of this, and I just love it ! It smells amaizing, very feminine and sexy <3 definitely my next purchase!!
A very strange perfume. It's really like two perfumes in one, on my skin. I got a 100ml eau de parfum in a swap (traded with D&G La Lune, so worth it) and immediately thoughT the perfume smelt familiar. On my skin it opened smelling like a slightly more mellow Lola by Marc Jacobs, and on the dry down is similar to Yves Rocher Voile d'Ambre, which I own and enjoy. It hits a very good sweet spot half way through wearing and lasts FOREVER on me. Not all perfumes do, but after scrubbing in a shower this scent still lingers on me. Nice smell, but not my favourite. Happy to have it in my modest collection, though.
update: I really don't get any of the mahogany that's supposed to be here. Just amberamberamber
I purchased this scent back in 2007 i think? Anyways i had never smelled anything quite like it. Such a deep, enticing smell. Its almost too strong for me when i spray it but after a few hours it turns into this lovely sexy scent. I cant even describe it. Definately worth the money. But dont spray too much, this stuff is STRONG. You'll knock somebody out if you walk by them!
Very potent
but used lightly the drydown is deep, rich , alluring -on me it last "4-ever".
if your prone to headaches easily be careful with this one - I really like it but it can also become nasueating after awhile.
Still one of my all time favorites though ;-)
I'm not a huge fan of the pomegranate curtain raiser, but I love the creamy middle notes and the soft drydown of the amber, violet and wood. It almost has the masculine note I pick up in YSL Nu. I like wearing this one for drinks outside on summer nights. It smells really good on men, too.
Euphoria is like a hot guy i'm craving about but we are not meant to be together. So seducing, fruity and fresh at the begining and so wrong, dirty and nauseous at the end. Im jealous to ladies who can hang with him lol.
At first try, I was put-off by the scent when sprayed that I thought it was a men's cologne. But the dry-down is unique, a bit woody and powdery indeed - a bit complicated to describe since it smells good enough for me. It still evokes a strong fragrance but for women who want to feel cool, different and tough on occasion, this is perfect. I usually like wearing this fragrance when I'm on blue jeans going out for a casual gimmick.
I will keep the scent along with other varieties that I can alternately use depending on my mood. :)
In an age of truly hideous perfumes for girls I'm glad of the popularity of Euphoria. I've never tried it on myself but always enjoy it when I smell it on others--it's smart and sexy and substantial and good for evenings out. I get a big woody cedar/patchouli balanced by a sweet fruity element that is never overbearing. It's similar to the best of the Britneys, Believe. This would also be lovely on a guy (much better than the Windex-like Euphoria Men).
I love this. This also reminds me of hookah smell, it is very similar to Belle d Opium, it is her younger American sister. I smell patchouli in it I am surprised it is not in the notes, but it must be in there. It is easily a club scent. Wear this when you want to be sexy in the club. I will always love euphoria
at first smell i love it very much, it smells seductive , mysterious and dark and deep and i dont know i feel sexy when im with my boyfriend wearing this perfume. but it turned smell so strong and overwhelming. im not using it anymore.
When I spray I can smell Pomegranate. It's pretty lovely smell.
However, it then turned to smell so strong. I gave it to my sister, she used just for a week and returned to me saying that it's overwhelming. I gave it to my dad and he loves it. The staying power is so so GREAT, like he sprayed on him 3 times. It lasted like a day.
It smells pretty just for a few seconds, then it turns into a heavy smell.. I think it's good for women, who like quite heavy fragrances, definitely not for teens. Maybe this is why I didn't like it :)
I couldnt love it. I makes my head aches, very heavy violet smells cheap, non-classy. As a similar but cheaper version of Euphoria, Bath&body works' Dark kiss can be bought.
I cannot believe how it took me sooo long to love this one. I remember smelling this the first time on a classmate who I was acquainted to and I thought she smelled sooo divine two years ago. However, not to be mean but although the smell was so beautiful in reality she was a proud escort so I guess I unconciously stayed away from this scent as it reminded me of this negative association.
Anyway that being said, I have tested it a few times but I was always off-put by the smell (once again maybe my subconcious was playing tricks with me jks). At one point, it smelled way too sweet to the point that I thought it was just totally "fake" and at other times it was simply a masculine scent.
But anyway last week I tested this once again after I guess a 6 month break on my bare scent-free wrists at Sephora and I had a different experience. I then went on a search for a value gift set and I ended up getting the 100ml EDP that included a 15ml EDP mini spray (I'm so happpy about that because I don't like rollerballs as I find that perfume doesn't seem to go on properly and then I think I overapply) and the 100ml body lotion.
This scent is categorized as an oriental floral but I don't smell it as being too flowery. I smell some subtle fruit which is the pomegranate so I think it balances the orchid and lotus notes. I guess it's original in the way that most fragrances that I encountered so far have so rose, gardenia, and magnolia and irises (which these smell too overwhelming for me and don't suit my personality) whereas in EUPHORIA there simply a perfect balance of all the notes together. There are no extremes but at the same time I would not call this a linear scent.
Seriouly, I can't believe how well it works for me (it's been two hours now). This is the PERFECT scent where I just want feel beautiful. I feel "natural" with this. I still cannot believe how I passed this one off for so long. This is so unique. But yes, now that I smell my wrists there is a tiny, tiny, tiny masculine-like smell that it's sooo subtle that I think that is the factor that makes others think it's sexy. I guess to my inexperienced nose this is the musk?
So because there is a successful blend and balance of sweet, fruity,flowery and masculine qualities of this fragrance, in conclusion EUPHORIA has now became one of my favourite fragrances and I don't think that I will ever become tired of it.
I can't wait to wear FORBIDDEN EUPHORIA and write up my experience and comparison with that one. (Crazy me I bought the gift set as well the same day as well as the new DOLCE & GABBANA POUR FEMME) :P
In the beganing i hate this perfume but after few month i smell it and get crazy about it .... Long lasting perf.
Almost dismissed this as an overhyped perfume. The opening notes are way too strong. However, it develops into a nice fruity floral scent with a hint of musk. You only really need one spritz, very long-lasting.
Calvin Klein's Euphoria is a dark beauty. Black orchid and amber are prominent notes, and the lasting power is amazing. Lush and beautiful, with a very musky undertone, Euphoria is like a legendary rose surrounded by a mass of thorns. As some of the other reviewers have mentioned, Euphoria can come across as cold and clinical at first sniff. If you can get past its prickly exterior, you will be the grateful recipient of the floral, even a little sweet, gem beneath. Euphoria gifts to its wearer a quiet elegance, a boost of confidence that stands out in a generic world. Perfect for a sensual winter's night.
I ADORE IT!!!!my signature scent for years!!!!!!!!!!!yes i love it!!!its so powerful, so sexy ,so exotic, so special smell!!!!!i adore it it has been one with my skin!!!all around me ask me what perfume i wear!!!a lots lots lots of compliments!its so special on my skin,so good it lasts until the other day!!!
Powerfull!
I feel special using it, it's my secret mood-lifting weapon. Specially for a night out!
Very deep and special perfume, so i guess if i would wear it everyday it would loose it's magic!!
This is probably just my body chemistry, but the pomegranite obscured everything else and lasted well into the drydown. I could smell wood, clean musk, and cotton candy hiding behind an enormous pile of pomegranite seeds. Euphoria is basically an ode to red fruit.
I tested Forbidden Euphoria, Euphoria Blossom and this. At first, I preferred Euphoria Blossom because it seemed lighter and more floral. And I was rather meh about Euphoria...when I tested it at the store, it seemed to be too heavy. However, I read that Euphoria Blossom didn't last as long as the original Euphoria so I got Euphoria in the end. (My aim was to find a long-lasting perfume for work; I work long hours and don't like to respray my perfume) I didn't regret my decision! The top notes of Euphoria are strangely peppery; not exactly to my taste. However, once the top notes wear off, Euphoria becomes a creamy violet scent. Very pleasant and mysterious. Pretty unique. I would say it is more suitable for work or evening dates; this isn't the type of perfume I'd wear to a picnic. This is a strong perfume so anything more than 3 spritzes is too much. The perfume lasts really long..I still can smell it 12h after I've applied. Great~! :D
i got this as a gift, while i dont hate it, i dont exactly love it either... while i like my fragrance to be soft,playful and draw your attention subtly, 'Subtlety' is not really a proper word for this one... it is more like 'here i come, you better notice me' kind of scent... not really one i reach often for... it last quite a a good 4 hours on me and the sillage is good...
Quite sharp. Smells like what a department store would smell like' professional yet elegant and keeps you in a distance. It's not a sweet fragrance for me, it actually smells cold! I could also characterise it as tropical but again in a professional way. Like a business woman on vacation who wears expensive beach wear and a big big hat! LOL, What a review :-P
this perfume is way too sweet, it made me sick when i tried it! and i think i hate orchid, i don't like any fragance with orchid in its notes
Euphoria. My mom has a lot of perfumes by CK. I Like them but only when SHE is wearing. For me they are too fresh. I heard that scent is difficult. But I am a little dissapointed... Everyone praises this perfume. But only what I feel is the strong orchid. And although its floral scent, smelled as unisex. On me EUPHORIA Is very long lasting. My boyfriend said - its perfume for older women. And I Agree !
It liqueur. Sweet, but not gourmand. Can I wear when it's cold or heat. Good for casual use, but also combines with partys. It might have more staying power, but it is delicious.
This fragrance is a dangerous feminine fragrance so so sensual never will someone forget you
Strong,sexy and dark enough for a man to be unable to resist
I wore this everyday from 2005-2008. I loved it so much at first then I burned out on it. It got to the point where I could not stand to smell it on my skin. Today, I was spending time on this website and came across the reviews for Euphoria. I didnt spray any perfume this morning so I decided to check and see if I still had a roller ball. I did and rolled it over my wrist. 10 mins later I am so very glad I kept my roller ball! sexy, hot, perfect for a night on the town.
I really love this one!
On me, this is dark fruits, woods, and flowers with a good hint of spice thrown in the mix. A sweet, feminine, dark, creamy blend, gotta love it :)
It has good sillage and you can still smell it several hours after you've sprayed!
Euphoria is one sophisticated and mysterious lady!
I love it!!!this smells sweet and sugary on my skin. Some people like Euphoria Blossom better because they said it's a lot softer than Euphoria. But i think, Euphoria Blossom is too strong and Euphoria is a lot better than EB. When i first spray it on my skin, it does smell strong, but after letting it calm for a while, it smells floral-y and sweet on my skin. It's perfect, i love it. Euphoria works perfectly with my body chemistry. Lovelovelove<3
I love, love, looooovvveeeeee it so damn much, i m a perfume maniac but this is my real favorite, -no! my love - about 2 years ago to today , when we met..
When i smell it first time, i closed my eyes and i said, damn Calvin Klein, this is my very first obsession..
AMAZZZING AMAZZZING, THATS WHAT HE SAID ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!!!!
IT'S DEFINITELY A KEEPER!!!!!! :P
UPDATE: It's truly a beautiful perfume, all through the notes, dry down is even more amazing. :P
My boyfriend bought this perfume for me, when I asked him to just pick one he likes. Some people say Euphoria smells sexy...funny enough, when I once wore it and cuddled with said boyfriend, he stated that whatever scent I wore stinks...
I had the biggest bottle of this perfume. It smells too strong for me and it gives me a headache. I gave it away to a friend who claims this to be her all-time favorite.
Sorry, not for me and my bf.
Musky spicy goodness.
Lovely dry down after hugely spicy beginning.
I think I could easily love this perfume.
The first CK perfume I've ever been able to wear. Not headache inducing..(.and sometimes I can be a bit sensitive that way), but womanly and rich.
May have to think about this one for the cooler weather. Just coming into Summer here, so will retry in 6 months and decide then.It would be a bit full on for Summer months...I admire any woman who could wear this in warm humid conditions...not me. But cosy and inviting for cool, rainy weather...fireside etc
It depends on your PH, mood and type of skin, on me it smells soft, a little sweet and fruty my skin is very fair and dry....i really like it for work time
I was doing some reading on the forums and saw that quite a few people consider this to be their number one scent for when they want to feel "sexy". I've worn many perfumes that smell nice, or pretty, but I'm yet to find a sexy one, so I tried this today.
Unfortunately, it's definitely not for me... earlier comments about it being a bit "mannish" really ring true. I would also agree with comments that it's a perfume for somebody a bit older (I'm 29, and felt it was too old for me, but it depends on the person I guess!). My boyfriend didn't like it at all, either (just in case it was one of those scents that I dislike but men love). I'll have to try the next on my list!
I agree with a comment down there that says it's not for girls! I had it when i was 16-17 and a family friend told me "you've a really good taste in perfumes but this is kinda old for you" i feel like it'll be sexier on me now! Def for 20+ ladies!
It smells strong and it grabs attention! Not for those who prefer subtle scents!
I love it though! I had the edp and the crystal edition! Love!!
i don't know what it was with this perfume that i liked. i normal love sweet/fruity or clean scents. but i loved this one. however when i first bought it and my boyfriend came home, i was wearing it and he was sniffing the air and asked who was in the house...i asked what he meant and he said, "was there another man in here?" lol. euphoria does have a strong musky smell to it and that's what surprised me that i like it. but i find it incredibly sexy and very feminine. not for young girls, but for mature women who want to make a statement of sheer sex appeal.
I really love the opening on this, rich, fruity with dark flowers and then......and then the drydown. Almost my worst nightmare, mahogany & musk with the inevitable outcome of smelling like Pledge furniture polish. Even my hubby said, "hmmm its very musky", not good. Great shame because every other facet of this perfume is to me, quite gorgeous.
Fruity woods are what I get from this. Lots of fruit, almost reminding me of Bath & Body Works spray until the dark resiny wood comes in to calm down the party. I don't know where people are getting the "womanly" vibe from in this. Definitely has sex appeal, but with the fruit in there it smells a bit young to me, like something I could have absolutely loved in high school or college. It's as close as I wanted to get to the fruity-candy stuff my peers loved, and woodsy enough to please my precocious inner tomboy. But even then, my go-to in high school was Chance, so I was already over the fruit salad phase by 15 or so. The grounded fruitiness will be a nice pick-me-up to counteract the earthiness of my usual picks for fall and winter, so this will be a definite addition to my collection, but probably not one of the top choices. It's not as elegant or sophisticated as the ones I tend to like, but I'll enjoy it on more casual days when it's cold out - like playing hooky on a snowy work day perhaps.
Euphoria has the eeriest of ads with scary subliminal messages. That's a perfume review site so yes, people may not relate to what I mean let alone what I actually see looking carefully an ad. I just couldn't help but to state this cuz Euphoria is unique in this respect...
So is it unique smell-wise too? I dunno, what I'm certain is it has a strong character. It's quite a grown up perfume in my opinion. Not for old ladies but certainly not for girls either.
It's pretty much a warming fragrance, ideal for winter days. It's truly sexy depending on my mood. Indeed it was a gift to me from an ex-bf. Heck, I believe he knew and understood some things, as he never considered gifting me some fruity sweet stuff...
Euphoria also does have a comforting effect for me. But if I overdo it, it gives me a headache.
Certainly a moods fragrance, not my everyday signature type.
Totally head-ache and nausea inducing. It was way too overwhelming for me.
I have smelled this on many many people and have only liked it on one. I'm not sure why it is so popular. I pass.
A deeply woody, somewhat masculine fragrance (its note of mahogany is a real heavy hitter). Its powdery and sweet notes are they only things keeping this from being more appropriately a men's cologne.
I happen to find the scent of mahogany (as well as the scent of oak and most other woods) to be comforting, so I don't mind wearing this -- but only in my home, as the fragrance does have that aftershave thing going on.
This scent is just timelessly feminine. It's presence in public is strong but not overwhelming. For me, one spray is enough as it has wonderful staying power.
Pomegranate and orchid? Sure, on the skin. But there is something else in this perfume that, from afar, contributes to the unique sensation one gets when experiencing it (on their person or on someone else).
Aside from the nostalgia I get from this particular fragrance, I always smell: an autumn morning, cold water, lemons, spices, and flower meadows.
I didn't expect to, but I do like Euphoria...although the name, which suggests a heady deliriousness, doesn't really fit it. On my skin Euphoria is deep profound patchouli with a soft sweetness leaking around the edges. Quite feminine, but not "girly." The listed notes don't include patchouli, but I used to grow patchouli and this reminds me very much of the scent of fresh patchouli leaves, which are not as harsh or "dirty" as the oil or dried leaves. I think the "fruit" note is about as strong as I can stand and has a piquant edge (tartness of rose hips/ apples/pomegranate?) Meaning, it adds a subtle sweetness without ever becoming cloying. There is not much development, though I can smell the amber more as it dries down. I would say it is more an evening/cool weather scent, and it is far too hot where I live to wear it now, but I can see wearing it often in the autumn and winter.
This is probably the strongest head ache inducing perfume ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is tooooooo strong and smells very much like a man's cologne. this is the worst smelling perfume ever made in this world. very nauseating, will almost make you want to vomit
To me Calvin Klein is one of the worst desgigner brands of perfumes. I just cannot find any positive thing about the vast majority of their perfumes, not including here Sophia Grosjman's Eternity, obviously. I find this one a bit gourmand, probably from the apple and also it has got a cloying, dull, shiniless, dark texture which reminds me of caramel, and it is also quite sweet in a way I do not find nice at all. I do not find any vitality in it. It does seem to sell a lot though, so it is probably me. Taste is a personal thing, and it is a good thing, like as for any other thing, that we do not all have the same taste.
This is one of my favorites, fruity but dark-ish. Not too sweet and a bit woodsy.
This smells like the skin of a fresh and clean man. And as much as I love unisex scents, this is a tiny bit to masculine even for me.
But it gives me a cozy and comforting feel though, like being hugged by my husband.
Too masculine for me. Scent stays around for hours. I have a brand new bottle just In my closet. Hubby says it smells like I sprayed cologne
Another blind buy I really wanted to love but couldn't. A woodsy, slightly spicy pomegranate mix with just a touch of violet. I think of a delicate bouquet of tiny purple forget-me-nots. Very Calvin Klein - minimalist, yet feminine and pretty. Dried down far too quickly and then completely flatlined on me within the 1 hour mark.
I returned it without regrets (where I'm sure it will be loved by another!). I agree with SweetnSpicey - Euphoria is beautiful but it's a wallflower perfume that doesn't stand out from the crowd - it's another fruity-floral you've tried one time or another before. It reminds me of my old bottle of Zara Femme that I owned a few years ago. However, it's a beautiful, inoffensive feminine fragrance with widespread appeal which would make it great for office wear or for gifting for the holidays.
I smelled this on a student of mine and asked her WHAT is that delicious perfume?! It smelled like a leather/floral/spice combo, so warm! It took me a while to test it on myself and was so disappointed in how it works with my chemistry. It seems to smell very different on different people, as a friend of mine wears it and it smells nothing like it did on my student, but better than it does on me. My skin brings out something very sharp and unpleasant in the perfume. I would definitely say this is a try-before-you-buy kind of scent. It's lovely on the right person!
Don't know what everyone is talking about : on me it doesn't last more than 1 hour and a half. Frustrating, cause it's so delicious. But it's not long lasting AT ALL, nor overpowering. And more:has little sillage
.
i love this perfume ! it is kind of different from my other perfumes . it is a delightful perfume . It is an oriental floral perfume with hints of spicyness and musk that make a amazing perfume . And the bottle is different yet very cute ! I recommend this to all of u ! it is a one of a kind perfume . I recommend you to wear it at night because it's kind of strong and intense .
it was my signature scent for couple of years. I have always loved it and I always will....I only changed my signature scent because I was a little bit bored after 2 years.....
Delicate scent of orchid , pomegranate and woods has really won my heart. I never liked CK's perfumes but this one is an exception. It is like silk with flowers around my body .
I am sure I will have it as my signature scent very soon again <3 and I don't care what some women say that it is too popular , everyone smells of it etc....
I think it doesnt matter ......in my opinion each perfume "looks" different on everyone ...depending on who wears it- it complements our beauty our sexiness our clothes our make up our character our...selves <3
it is
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
after trying this perfume, the scent itself is the hottest one out there. i think it's the perfect scent for summer. everytime i smell it, it reminds me of summer '07. i would highly recommend this perfume for evenings or going out on dates. it's spicy, hot, and sexy! i would definately buy this perfume for loved ones and friends. ladies, get this perfume!
Eh...not terribly impressed by this one. Upon first spray, I was hopeful. I love those scents that border on dark and mysterious...without actually plunging into the realm of hypnotic poison (which I hate). Spicy, yes. But sadly it remains that way on me. A rather flat spicy scent. My fiance loves it...I feel like I have snuck into my grandfathers old spice. I want a perfume to unfold over time and intrigue me. This one is blunt and boring.
I love this fragrance. I just have a tester and have used it a few times. It's very sultry and, well, sexy, but without that choking kind of musky heaviness those kind usually have. I generally go for lightweight "unobjectionable" florals, but I love this one. It is long lasting too, I can still catch a whiff after 4 or 5 hours.
its a strong, dark, but really sexy fragance. it´s a night perfume. I love it it smells like orchids and pomegranate at first, and last about 6 or 7 hours, when it dries its smells woody. for a strong confident woman that likes to cautivate man.
This exudes sexy confidence to me. Constantly complimented. Juicey, creamy, spicey & woody all at the same time, with a textured amber/musk drydown. To sum it up quickly, its beautifully sultry.
Simplemente no me gusta. Pero a quien le guste pasar las noches de discoteca perfecta, es fuerte, muy amaderada, nada suave, muy rotunda, llegarás a casa oliendo a perfume y para nada a alcohol o a tabaco.
i love the scent.
I get so many compliments when I wear it..i will always have it in my collection.
this perfume requires a strong personality. it smells like confidence bordering on bossiness. I first smelled it on a 'strong personality' (bitch) girlfriend of mine, and I wear it whenever I need to invoke her attitude. I'm convinced it can actually help promote assertiveness (so it should be sold in the south, liberally). Wear it to work, with your power suit. Make phone calls to people. Hang up on them.
After putting this on it smells like I went for a walk in the woods mid spring when all of the flowers were in bloom. Very pretty :)
when i went to buy this perfume i was between this and Narciso Rodriguez for her, they are both good fragances, but i chose euphoria because it smell different, like orchids. It´s a really good, modern, strong perfume, not for everybody, you have to have a strong personality so its not too overpowering.
I was really surprised this fragrance was created by Dominique Ropion. I bought it years ago after smelling it straight on my wrist for 3 seconds flat. It was love, instantly!! I wore it for a few months, and then I tired of it. My mom was the happy receiver of this fragrance, and thankful I have a fickle nose at times.
The problem I had with this lovely fragrance was how it wore on me. On others it had a glorious dry-down. On me it just went from beautiful, to cloying, and then flatlined. I don't normally give fragrances away. I did the same for London by Burberry, and Prada's Amber. We just "grew apart", it's not them- it's me. I agree that this is a fragrance to get numerous samples of, and live with for a few months before buying (or, spend the $50-$70, and have a family member, or friend in mind to pass it along to). I've heard great things about its male counterpart, but as for Euphoria for women, I'm just not feeling euphoric from my purchase. My mom however, is on cloud nine!
For me, I enjoyed Hypnotic Poison by Dior much more (a purchase unrelated, but made at the same time). Though I found myself growing weary of this one too, I still wear it from time to time- and will keep the lotion as well as a bottle of it on my dresser until they stop making it. Perhaps one day I will change my mind, yet again, and revisit Euphoria with a different expectation. For now, I have to say, the honeymoon is officially over.
I fell in love with it by the first sniff, i bought it without a second thought and wore it only nights (preferably winter/fall nights). To be honest, now, one and a half year later, i must admit i got over it, but i'm sure you'll love it.
It's somewhat heavy, starts of as woody, spicy and settles as a sweet, warm and floral scent. It lasts long enough.
(I reccomend that you try it on your skin before buying).
Sorry once again it was really light on me, and didnt last a minute, love the bottle unfortunately for me the bottle promises much more than it actually delivers
Crazy that I never thought of this being anything like Angel yet I have a spritz of both on-one on each arm and this is like the younger,slightly more demure sister to Angel....guess that is why I like both though I still think I'll save them for cold weather:)
I recently got a sample of this upon buying a different perfume. The opening notes are amazing, the pomegrantate fruit and dark orchid.. It smells intoxicating at first, but the dry down is so quick. down to the average powder musk that made it lose my sale.
Maybe I just don't suit it.. but the first impression I have is the vague notion of pomegranates and possibly slightly wet violet while all the other ingredients are indistinguishable and trying to make themselves known all at once.
I'm not sure whether it's that I'm not familiar with the notes in other fragrances or whether that combination really does smell the way it does on me.
That doesn't last long as I then get Glade's Honey and Chocolate candle after about 15-30 minutes - a strong, but muted and definitely noticeable sweet, waxy, almost artificial scent that is only slightly reminiscent of honey and has the faintest whisper of chocolate. This lasts for about 8 hours, fading slightly within the last two.
I find the smell of those candles very addictive (and yes, almost euphoric), but I don't quite know whether I feel the same way about this frag... I'm definitely going to try it again, though.
One word:YUM.I hadn't tried this in years and forgot how wonderful it is:I tend to stay away from more 'popular' perfumes but this is worthy of it's following.I don't like Euphoria Blossom at all:it smelled almost stale on me but this is perfect:)
I was longing to get it
and when I got it ,I wasn't dissappointed
this perfume is pleasant and warm ,it feels like a hug:)
3 words: warm, seductive and mysterious.
Absolutely one of my favorites.
Everything what women always wanted to be: confident, sexy, glamorous, classy, playful and wise. All of it in a bottle of perfume with nice sillage and longevity.
When I wear it, I feel like if I was in a cover of a magazine.
For glamorous women who knows how to choose the color of nail polish! ;)
On first spray, I found this really offensive: it smelled to me a bit like bug spray and the overall scent of a magazine with numerous perfume samples. After about 20 seconds, though, it changes a lot and becomes a spicy, floral oriental that's actually pretty pleasant. To me, the orchid really stands out, then the woods, violet and amber.
I think this is a really strong, fairly sophisticated scent and though it doesn't really suit me, it is nice.
Still, though, there is just something about it that smells like magazine perfume samples! So odd.
I totally agree with Emi's review. I also consider this fragrance a masterpiece but I decided to admire it only on other people. 2 women from my work already use it (and I only work with 6 women lol), my sister uses it and also my 2 close friends use it. I wish it wasn't that popular because it's such a turn-off for me, anyway there's a reason why people love it. It's a beautiful fragrance, sweet and sexy at the same time with great silage and longevity. The mahogany note is what I like the most about it, it's really unique as not so many houses use it for women's perfume.
I got this as a gift, about a year ago. Before that, i had only a couple of different fragrances on my shelf. I used to stick to the same fragrances for a long time, when i found something i liked. Euphoria EdP changed that. It was the perfume that really got me interested in scents, and perfumery, and made me train my nose. When i got Euphoria, and tried it for the first time, my initial thought was that it was very masculine. I actually didn't like it very much. I wanted to give it a fair chance though, and kept trying it. And the more i was wearing it, the more it grew on me. I started to pick out different notes, and started to see how it changed. The first quite masculine top notes morphed into a creamy, dark and very soft smell. It never gets sweet on me, it stays quite unisex, but it still feels sexy and feminine, if that makes sense. I've got a lot of compliments wearing this, and not just "what are you wearing" (that's not always a compliment. Sometimes people might ask that, to know what to avoid^^), but people telling me "oh you smell really good". So in my books, that makes a perfume a winner. I used Euphoria for months, but as i started to get into perfumes, and bought other ones, haven't been wearing it as much anymore. Lately i also felt that it smells somewhat synthetic, still it's one of my favourites, i just don't wear it as often anymore. Sillage and longevity are both very good. Sprayed in the morning, one or 2 spritzes, i still smell it in the evening, 12 hours later.
At first Euphoria is awesome,classy and creamy but after two hours it turns into a very masculine smell. I really wanted to like this but I am looking for something feminine all the way!
I gave mine to my boyfriend and it smells divine on him.I must say Euphoria for women works well with male chemistry
I bought this perfume years ago- a blind buy but i've never regretted it. So good on my skin. I totally adore. I get attention with it ..they keep asking 'who are you wearing?' I remember one night out with my boyfriend and his friends, he used my Euphoria and his male friends loved it on him. Dont get it twisted, its not a male perfume, although strong. I once told a female friend that the perfume is magical as it lends credence to the wearer.
On my skin, it lasts long...6 to 8 hours. In my own little way, its a special.
I wear several perfumes but this is my most worn one, and imo this compares to no other scent as far a designer lines. I don't even see why there are comparison scents listed. To me, this is sexy fruit and you will grab attention!
Euphoria = sour pomegranate + candy + woods + musk. Smells good, perfect for nights out.
great for winter time:)
The thing I love the most about Euphoria is the sweet cream & mahogany base. Rich! And it lasts a while on the skin. Starts with light fruity top notes, dries to a slightly spicy, mysterious fragrance, perfect for winter evenings. Although the bottle is pretty, I hate how awkward it is -- it takes up tons of sink or cabinet space, and it wobbles and tips easily. I don't wear this much anymore due to the strange synthetic flavor I've noticed over time (one of the mid notes - can't quite identify it), but it's still nice to wear in the right mood or season. Purple color was a good marketing decision because it smells the way purple might be conceptualized. Don't understand other reviews claiming that Euphoria is masculine, because to me, it's entirely too creamy and sweet to be traditionally "male." It just has a lower, huskier, more sensual voice.
I know some young girls that will love this but its not one I just HAVE to have. Fruit & amber...smells very sweet to my tastes...I smell it on so many others...to each his own, I suppose.
This one is very sweet on me. I like it, though. It would be a nice autumn/winter signature scent. I will definitely buy it at the end of the summer.
This is such a good scent. For me it reminds me of a warm summer day with a breeze, probably because my friend would wear it non stop one summer. lol But on me its not woody at all but like a vanilla spice. Its pretty thick to me and lasts. I love it.
I bought this for my wife's birthday but I wear it myself all the time...
it's my evening scent for a euphoric mood. niche quality and relaxing.. buy it. everybody likes it on you
I really love this perfume too. No wonder it is so popular - it is extremely gorgeus. It is sweet and woody, so sensual and mysterious. I love the orchid in it and that woody, unusual note, which is mahogany, I assume. Too bad this perfume is so popular in my country. At least five women from my close surroundings use it. That is why I will only adore this beautyful fragrance from the distance. Hoever I consider Euphoria as a Masterpiece.
It is sophisticated..i like it ;)
To me, this is just so overwhelmingly confused. Like it's unsure of what's it's identity should be. A fruity/floral? A friuty,woodsy floral? A floriental? Fruity amber? At times it almost seems like it wants to be like Angel. It was too much for me.
My brother thought is smelt like insect repellent...I thought it smelled really nice though, which is my opinion.. I bought a 0.15 oz bottle.. so good thing i didn't buy a bigger one..
The lotion version is my preferred choice. This is smoother, more feminine than the edp and so true to the to the scent of the perfume. It is very strong and lasts long for a lotion.
The edp is very sharp that same sharpness reminds me of that in flowerbomb edp.
Euphoria in edt is more synthetic smelling (to my nose) compared to the edp, but still lasts well and is a lighter version.
Forbidden Euphoria is quite pleasant similar to Euphoria edt with the former being my preference.
I expected it to be girly with notes like pomegranate and orchid, so imagine my surpise when I sprayed it.
It was very dark, sexy and mysterious. This can easily be a signature scent and is a NOTICE ME winter perfume, so beware if you are the faint of heart.
If no one noticed yet, euphoria smells just like costume national homme or idole de lubin. Yes, they are men's fragances. A male friend of mine was wearing something that I had smelled before and I asked him what was that and he told me it was ck euphoria and the bottle is a shiny silver, so I assume it is the original euphoria for women.
So this can be worn by men as well. I never had a chance to check out euphoria for men, but I think the women version is more unisex and better anyway.
The first time I try, it was on paper strip. Smell wonderful, lush and floral-woody. But I don't buy it straight away, well I don't have enough money at that time. Then my mom bought Avon Imari Seduction, it smell alike but less deep and dark. So I prefer this anyway.
My friend wear this to office. But it does not smell good on her. It smell sour, and weird. So, I hold my decision to own a bottle. Then in early 2012, I try this again in store and this time, I sprayed it on my wrist. OMG!!! This is just wonderful... smells divine!! I can't stop sniffing my wrist. The first few minutes after spray maybe quite hard to take. Its really strong, sweet and woody. But drydown is really nice. The orchid conquer the whole aroma, very lush and seductive, almost fairytale. I got compliment when I wear this to office. But don't spray too much on day, 2 spray is enough to last all day without offending anyone. You may spray more for night.
This was love at first sniff, but as time passed this became a scent that is too heavy for me. Now, I don't care for it at all.
this one is not good but Euphoria Crystal or Euphoria Crystalline is much better
trust me
tried it at the store some time back...found it to be too fruity-floral for my taste...didn't buy it..
Too sweet for me, I would have loved to love it since it was created by my most favorite nose Dominique Ropion and I have made it a mission of mine to own at least a sample of all the perfumes he has created. But I dont think I will be acquiring this one.
I enjoy this perfume very much. I used to smell it on others frequently when it first came out and fell in love with it then. I finally got a small bottle not too long ago. At first I didn't like it so much on me, but it grew on me. My husband thinks it smells the best out of all my perfumes, and I get compliments when I wear it. To me, this is more of a going-out or night perfume. It can also be worn during the day, but it's hard for me to wear this all day at work since it is so strong. Lovely, oriental, woodsy, and spicy. One of my favorite perfumes.
I have this perfume sitting on my vanity. It's not my favorite but once in a while i wear it. One squirt. It definately smells very good. It's not really the best for me...but it smells really good. I like it and consider it well done. I dont adore this or worship it. If someone took it away from me I probably wouldn't miss it much...... But I will say one thing- this gets a lot of attention. You won't blend into the wallpaper with this on. I wear it and heads turn. I'm not sure if they are turning because its good or bad. I think the.guys kinda want to see who's wearing the sexy perfume. They seem to turn their heads and look....so, if you can get their attention then that's good. Right? Anyways...I like this. I think its pretty nice.
One of the most expensive perfumes on the market today! Also the most popular! But I wouldn't buy this just because I already have Imari seduction and let me tell you, it smells almost exactly like Euphoria :)
I have had this some time ago and didnt quite like it so i decided to give it another chance, i still like Forbidden Euphoria better, but im getting used to it. This is less sweet and more sophisticated, great for a night out!
TOTAL EUPHORIA! I am loving this scent. The pomegranate, persimmon as listed as a note on Basenotes (yummy), amber, black orchid and amber are the strongest notes on me. Euphoria is sooo creamy; think heavy cream with persimmons and pomegranates. Sensual and very chic. This is all about a confident woman. Euphoria isn't for the princess, it's for the queen!
Got this for christmas from my bf..it's a bit muskier and woodier than i'm used (i'm into more sweet fruity and sweet floral scents as well as gourmand fragrances). However, this is a very nice fragrance for a night out and the lasting power is very good ( about 6-8 hours). I find that when i pair this with bath and body works pomegranate and citrus body lotion it makes it a bit more sweet and fruity! I usually wear it with my avon vanilla body lotion (even though this scent contains no vanilla i still try to add some sweet creamyness to it)..i'm really growing to like it :)
Me sorprende la buena longevidad de este perfume: se asienta muy bien en la piel y dura todo el día. Lo encuentro más apropiado para otoño e invierno. Es un aroma seductor y enigmático, atrayente, me gusta mucho.
***
It amazes me how good longevity of the perfume: it sits nicely on the skin and lasts all day. I find it more appropriate for fall and winter. It is a seductive and mysterious scent, attractive, I really like.
beautiful fragrance, i love the heady woody opening and the mild floral body gives the scent some mature playfulness. the downside of this scent is its popularity and the fact that its so distinct makes it a complete turnoff for me.it lacks the necessary mystery to take it to the bombshell level.
This very nice but snythetic smelling. I used to wear it when it first came out and it was sort of a signature. but it is so popular, that I felt uncomfortable walking into a room with a lot of other womens wearing the same thing. Also, strong and something in it bothers the noses of a lot of people.
Beautiful scent. Used to be my mums signiture scent and so it reminds me of her... then it ran out. Never really appriciated it back then. Tested it again recently in the shop, was hit by the lovely sharp peppery-ness and then the perfume settles down into a lovely deep and rich flowery/earthy smell. Feels expensive, royal - generally yummy... my nose was stuck to my wrist :) Definitely on my want list, I really think this perfume represents "me". All the perfumes I have are very airy, oriental, sweet and light which I like but am not particularly fond of.
Deep, dark, and deliciously daring. What’s not to love? This mysterious fragrance smells like an expensive niche perfume, and it’s no wonder when the designers are Dominique Ropion, Carlos Benaim, and Loc Dong. I sense that I’m spraying on sultry, liquid sexiness that lasts all day and into the night.
Black orchid, and the subtle spiciness of pomegranate, deepened by mahogany wood, are wrapped in creamy amber. It’s no wonder this is one of the most popular fragrances anywhere. Made in 2005, it hasn’t lost any of it’s allure, and I can imagine it staying around for a whole lot longer.
Persimmon, green notes, lotus blossom, and champaca flower blend smoothly into musk, and sit quietly in the background supporting what I call my black liquid gold. Most suited for fall and winter nights, this is one oriental drama queen I’m glad I didn’t miss.
I LOVE THIS PERFUME! I have a roll on duo! It has euphoria and forbidden euphoria! i got it at ulta! it was $18 but the lady at the register gave it to me with lola by marc jacobs for FREE! can you believe that!?
Fruity, nice, likeable. Not a life-changing scent to me, but really pleasant nonetheless.
This is an absolute stunner of a perfume - gorgeous opening and settles down to a velvety creamy lusciousness that lasts and lasts. I will be wearing it on my 70th Birthday next month - so much for CK being only for the "young Ones" - this old gal is gonna kick her heels up!

Another gift for my anniversary. OK. I can't decide if I like it or not.
Strange...
It's dark, powerfull and kind of mysterious. Maybe a little too dark for my taste, at the beginning. May be the orchid? I don't have a love affair with it... I kinda feel some lychee smell and it's not my taste at all.
God, this is strong! Middle tones are a little bit creamy, but still very pregnant.Mahogany at its best.
The drydown is lovely. Amber and musk, my favorites.
I couldn't smell the pomegranate at all. It's my skin, I know it. I'm brunette and I'm a smoker. Every scent is different on me.
Got to wear it at the office, see what the co-workers say. Even if I find it too strong for work!
Keep in touch.
Later edit: I fell inlove! It's sex in a bottle and stays for ages. I couldn't find anybody to dislike it, on the contrary, I don't remember when I got so many compliments about a perfume, both from men and women. I already ordered a bigger bottle.
I thought I wanted this one but since, I've found out this smells identical, to me, to Curve Vintage Soul. Perhaps wrist to wrist, sniff to snoof, there may be a difference, but not enough for ME to want a bottle. This is nice though! This review isn't to rave or boo either, simply to compare.
I bought this a week ago because of the great reviews.
Now, it's time for my review. I sprayed on my neck, chest and wrist around 5pm and still smelled it around 6am the following day. I didn't party though so definitely I didn't sweat at all. Everyone inside the car asked me what perfume I wore because for them it smelled lovely.
For me, this is not going to be my signature scent though I got good compliments. It gave me a slight headache and got tired of the smell after my first try. On the bright side, I'm willing to give this perfume a chance. I kinda like the smell of Lacoste Pour Femme or even Avon Jet Femme but I want to find something more similar on these scents which really has a good longevity and sillage. I'd love to smell the notes of citrus,woody,spicy,powdery and floral. Any suggestions?
Euphoria didn't fail me when it comes to Longevity and Sillage which is great for a score of 10/10. It's a lovely perfume.
It's strong, spicy, mysterious & sexy...that's why I looooove this perfume. It's a sexy frag, I use it to special occasions, as it's a bit strong for everyday use. I guess it's not for everyone, since you need to love strong and over the edge frags.
Just purchased the EDT. Love it! First spray is very woody/musky on me-almost smells like a man's cologne. After a few minutes the feminine side emerges-floral and powdery. The result is intense and sexy.
this one is erotic and creamy....makes me feel sexy..
I tried a sample of this and was immediately hooked!!! It is strong (love that Orchid) but for me it doesn't overpower. It is dark, sensual and another winner from Calvin Klein! Avon's Imari Seduction reminds me of this scent except that it is not as strong.
I don't like the smell if it's sprayed on me. It's too sweet, heavy and too loud for me. Maybe it's not suitable for me in this 25 years old. But i love it when it's sprayed on my friend, feel like a real woman, feminine, mature and sophisticated. Maybe i will wear it when i'm 35 while the product still last.
I liked it on initial application, it was nice, sweet but not too sweet but then it disappeared in a couple of minutes it seemed like.
This is my sexy secret bahavior. Just in the bottle. Stong but sweet on my skin like an icing topping on cake. Another best perfume from CK. Mahogany is very rare and special that make this perfume looking dark, sensual and incredibly sexy.
I'm surprised that no one found this perfume similar to Chanel's, Coco Mademoiselle, and Dune by Dior. Nonetheless, i adore Euphoria, it's a fine balance between: spicy, sensual, sweet and floral scents.
As much as i cant stand wearing what everyone else is wearing.. when it comes to Euphoria.. I dont care. There is a good reason so many are wearing this.. it's gorgeous.. and increadibly sexy. But also almost spiritual and very soft at the same time.... it demands attention while also not being loud at all! I love that quality in a perfume. However , as I sometimes do.. I have overstocked myself with this one, so I do have a bottle that I have up for swap. Check my page for link :)
To 'SweetnSpicey'
You are saying that you dont smell the orchid or the musk, the woods, not even the Violet? really?
And as far as britney Spears perfumes.. I'm not a huge fan, I don't like overtly sweet perfumes most of the time but each one of hers for the most part, smells very different from the other. totally different notes in many o.0 I'm sorry to say this, but I think you are either suffering from a case of snobbery or you need to get your sniffer checked. That is all :)
this is my husband's favorite of my perfumes. just enough musky sexiness to make me happy with enough floral prettiness to make him happy. this is my usual 'work perfume' because its not as strong or spicy as most of my other ones.
sometimes i put a spritz of paco rabanne black xs on top to add some peppery spiciness to this and i really love that combination.
i don't smell any pomegranate, its mostly orchid and vanilla-y musk on me.
CK Euphoria is an extremely strong and musky scent. I like the way this smells on other people, but not on me. It's definitely aimed at an older audience.
just perfect! there is no need to say anything more
I love this fragrance and it`s spicy sweet smell. It makes me feel good whenever i wear it.
Euphoria is interesting ...... is a successful combination between female and male, between night and day ........ I think it's the most successful perfume CK. Positive vote.
Persistence 5-6 hours.
This is faaar too spicy for me! I can see how someone else would like it. There are notes in it that are quite lovely - but when push comes to shove, the spice is too overwhelming to enjoy them.
This is seriously sexy stuff.
It's mysterious, spicy and smoky yet still a little sweet.
I have received more compliments with this perfume than any other.
Love, love, love.
It will always be in my collection.
I went out to meet a friend for dinner last week, and wore euphoria for the first time; had just purchased it recently. After driving an hour and a half to the restaurant, unbeknownst to me, I locked my keys in the car. When I came out of the restaurant and realized it, I had to make arrangements for a locksmith to come, as I was actually in another state and didn't know anyone in the area. By the time all was said and done, and the guy showed up to "rescue" me, it was a good 7 hours after i had applied the perfume. As we stood talking outside my car he commented on my perfume and how nice it smelled, saying he knew what it was, but couldn't remember the name, and then described the bottle to me in detail. Two hours of waiting out in the cold and $168 later... oh well, I smiled all the way home :)
Strong, seductive and smoky evening scent.
Let me start by saying I don't normally like CK women's fragrances...Obsession is terrible, Eternity is so/so, CK One is redundant and unnecessary, Beauty is for older women. I do like Euphoria. I think it's a good thing that Calvin Klein updated their fragrance wardrobe with this. It's definitely more modern than anything else they sell for women.
One of my favorite friends started wearing this and on her it is a 20 out of 10: confident, sensual, and a bit flirty with an over-ride of mystery. On her, I smell amber (which I love) mixed with woods, orchids and some sort of musky, exotic fruit. I begged a decant, and hoped it would smell as similar on me. Alas, not so. It settled into something that I can best describe as sweetly rotting wood with a few musky orchids tossed around. The amber I so like, did not come out on my skin. And the sillage on me was burdensome. On the right person (more a female scent than male imho), this is incredible! On the wrong one ... it is one that begs to be scrubbed off.
It gives me a headache. It smelled good at first, but it becomes too powerful.
This perfume came to me as a Christmas gift two years ago, and since then I have not found anything more to like about it. I really did try to like it too! (I do not like fragrances that are this sweet.)
To start with, it’s distinctly fruity and cool, with a kind of watermelon-bubblegum burst. But after the initial fruitiness, on my skin it just dissolves into an extremely sweet, cloying, sharp sweet scent. Not floral, not fruity- just overwhelming in sweetness. I cannot detect any of the notes other reviewers are talking about, but then I do not have a sophisticated nose AT ALL.
And after a couple of hours? No, it does not smell any better on me. I do spray with a light hand too, and even that does not sit well on me. Oh well. To me, Euphoria smells almost sickly with a tinge of jasmine somewhere.
Got it for Christmas - LOVE IT, love how I smell...
I just bought it about three weeks ago and i love it! It smells like nothing Ive ever had before. So unique and sweet! Its really good for the winter!!!
I think it's funny that one reviewer said, "There's nothing like this," because the longer I wore it, the more I thought there are tons of perfumes just like it. I can see why people like it, it's sweet and fruity, but honestly it smells a lot like Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson's perfumes. I don't get any of those beautiful notes I was hoping for...mahogany, resins, orchid...this just smells like vanilla and berries! That's it. No pomegranate either, JUST berries.
If I were a millionaire with tons of money to waste, I'd package this in Britney Spears' packaging. I would bet that people would come on this website talking about how cheap it smells and how it smells like everything else on the market etc. I think sales would plummet.
Bottom line: I like it; I just don't love it.
What more could I possibly add to all the great reviews of Euphoria? I love it so much. It is a warm womanly scent that just works well with my skin and lasts all day.
Starts out lush and fruity (I know it's pomegranate but I get the impression of juicy blackberries every time I spray it) the middle for me is dark orchid and woods, then it dries down to a spicy cigar trace. It is so sexy and I feel like such a gorgeous woman when I wear it. It gives me extra confidence.
I will always want a bottle of this in my collection.
My mom always wore this perfume while I was growing up, so I'm sure I'm bias! My mom is a very fashion-conscious woman, she sports dark-wash skinny jeans with heels at age 50 for crying out loud! (And she can pull it off!) She's picky about her perfumes and this one has been on her shelf continuously. But anyway... I think this smell typifies her, it's such a sexy, strong, mature woman. Yet it's very sensual and inviting at the same time. Unbelievable. I wear this one whenever I'm feeling homesick or nostalgic :) or whenever I go out in the evening and want to smell so seductive!
This fragrance smells like when I smell perfume in magazines. Every time I flip the pages and I was about to open to rub my wrist on the sample...this is what I initially smelled. I know it's weird.
This fragrance is so versatile. On me it doesn't smell strong or masculine. You can wear this anywhere. You can wear it any season. Spring and summer nights. Anytime on autumn/winter. It is sensual, it doesn't try to hard, and smells expensive.
There is somthing missing from this fragrance it could be fantastic, I think they need to go back into the labs here.
First notes reminded me the smell of those yellow note stickers after somewhile it turned to creammy floral smell. Pleasant fragrance. EDP version stayed on my skin about 5 hours
My sister bought this perfume a few months ago and has been wearing it daily since. I have been having my worst ever patch of migraine headaches during this time and a few weeks ago I finally realised it was her perfume doing it. It has been total hell let me tell you. It is the most tenacious smell I have ever come across. I have to soak my clothes before washing just to try to get the residual smell out! Every time she even walks past me wearing some clothing with a tiny bit of the scent on it it sets me off starting to get pain in my right eye. It also clogs my sinusses terribly and seems to burn as i breathe it in. I feel like I might throw up if I get a whole noseful of it! Anyone who wears this please please think twice! You could be causing people around you to have terrible headaches even if you just walk past them in the street if they're as sensitive to it as I am!
I find Euphoria very inviting off the top! Love the orchid & pomegrant combination. I have the EDT and find it isn't as long lasting as I would like, however. Perhaps I should try the parfum.
At first it smells like nail polish remover and then morphs into intoxicating sweet unisex scent. I think Euphoria is best used in winter time.
I'm glad it's out of fashion because a few years ago everyone wore it.
I wanted to like it, I did. But it turned into something extremely masculine on me, and not really something I would wear. I tried it on paper as well and it pulled the same masculine scent plus more of that floral note( orchid) on top.
I tried this from a sample vial, so I don't know if something from a tester bottle in store would smell different. I just don't recommend blind buying this.
And if I did want to wear a masculine scent, there are many different ones to choose from that I would prefer over this.
This is a "pretty" perfume but it just doesn't do anything for me. I wanted to love it but I just couldn't get past like. Something turns really metallic smelling on my skin and the pomegranate and lotus don't stand out at all to me. It's all floral.....and metallic. A warm, heavy night time scent.
Not bad but not a favorite.
The reason why I’ve refrained from submitting a review of Calvin Klein’s Euphoria is simple: I cannot find words enough to describe how much I love this perfume. I’ve had this perfume for over two years now and unlike many other perfumes in my wardrobe, I very rarely – if ever – get sick of smelling it. Again and again, I find myself reaching for it when the days get colder and the nights get longer.
The opening is unlike anything I have smelt to date: pomegranates and some other fruit note I can’t quite put my finger on, laced with a sugary aroma that is moderately sweet. When sprayed with a sensible hand, it is not overpowering or cloying. The top notes are warm, intriguing, and voluptuous. It’s surprising for me that I should find it so pleasing to my nose, because I’m not all that fond of fruity smells, even if they’re there to make the introduction. Euphoria smells vaguely like some indistinct but perfectly ripened fruit, sprinkled very gently with icing sugar.
The middle and base notes are even more wonderful than the start, with some exotic florals coming in, before you get the vanilla and musk gradually creeping through the fruits and syrup. The conclusion is woodsy and seductive. Euphoria is often described as being dark, but I wouldn’t say she’s all that dark, really although she certainly has an air of mystery about her! Little wonder some people think she smells masculine. She’s deep and sensuous, and even a little bit smoky towards the dry-down. Despite how heavy she can smell at times, she can also be surprisingly gentle. As I’ve said before, it’s all in the application of her. Any more than two or three spritzes and you’re asking for trouble. I highly recommend wearing this in the winter and colder months only. I made the mistake of trying her out on a hot summer’s day in a crowded lecture hall. Big mistake. She's perfect for those special occasions in the winter season - Euphoria blends just wonderfully with the night.
Given how common Euphoria has become, I wouldn’t say smelling her these days would put you exactly into a state of euphoria itself, but it still does come very close when I haven’t smelled her in a while. I’m so glad winter is here again.
I love this scent in the winter. I've been stopped multiple times (a majority of the people men) asking what fragrance I'm wearing. The notes in this perfume really match with my body chemistry and it seems like the fragrance lasts all day. I think the scent is bold, vivacious, and a bit flirty! Love it!
sorry but it remembers me of some shampoo i used. not wanting to offend anyone but it really smells like; just not my type
This is my go-to evening fragrance. After the initial burst of pomegranate, it moves to a warm amber/orchid/musk. Very rich scent, it can be a bit masculine particularly as the florals fade and the amber/musk dominates. It has great sillage and is one of the longest lasting perfumes I have ever tested. I can still smell it the next morning, so 12+ hours!
Euphoria smells great on first spray, and wonderful on me... for about a half an hour. Sadly, it has no staying power on me. For the first half an hour, however, I get the wonderful olfactory experience of a sweet, woody musky floral warmed with the essence of amber. It's nice, but for the price, I want it to last most of the day.
First love for me in regards to fragrances. The only time I've ever stopped someone I did not know to ask them what they were wearing. I bought it the next day. The femininity is not of the light and breezy type, but strong and sexy.
Smells like violets, honestly how in the world could anyone call this 'coca cola'?? lol, seems like the popular term to use, besides I think I may be partial to the smell of coca cola, :) . Once of the best perfumes of all times is often refered to as coke a cola , or a rootbeer float, and that's the beloed 'poison hypnotic' so really, is it such a bad thing? lol
Euphoria is great as a strong deep woody floral but only for 20 mins max.
I thought at first that I must be sampling a light flanker, but no, it was the original.
Pity because it's got a nice original muskiness as far as it goes. But I want more than this from a perfume.
Very nice.
warm, sweet..
Just few drops !! :D
Gorgeous, dark and sexy but light and optimistic. Prety original, cant think of one very similar. Love the powerdery feeling with the sexy musk, the dark violent and amber, omg... stop, soooo sexy
It's a TOO..
Too sweet and too strong!
Nice on a few drop.
Euphoria, the name itself says everything- GREAT HAPPINESS! It's quite unique. When I wear it I feel amazing. It's such a beautiful perfume for this time of year, so worm, so sophisticated and sensual. I really love it and it's indeed a seductive smell. It's great, because everytime I wear it, I get lots of compliments. And I love its drydown, it is just extraordinary. Lasting power is amazing too, and the bottle is really cute. I definitely recommend this perfume. :D
correction:
After using it for some time I gave it to my mom. It became so annoying and strong. It's definitely not a perfume for young people. At least not my cup of tea. Very disappointed with this one. :(
I agree that this is quit sexy, mysterious and dark. But all the fruits make it really fun and mood lifting.
The perfect perfume for a girls night out having fun. It makes you want to be the queen on the dance floor! (Maybe even with some crazy moves...)
I can understand that men would find this sweet and spicy potion attractive but I would not use it to seduce someone. But it`s because I can`t take this scent seriously, it`s just too much fun!
eh, I don't really understand the popularity/appeal of this. I generally don't get along with this house, but this one in particular reaks of a chemical dump on top of a vat of bug spray. Just... yuck. No matter how much I don't like a perfume I can still appreciate the notes I don't like. Not so with this. I just cannot think of a single good thing to say about this.
smells really good on other people, smells like bug spray on me :(
This is a perfect evening out scent for me. Exotic, dark, mysterious...but still fruity and not too strong. It reminds me a little bit of midnight pomegranate from Bath and bodyworks, but Calvin does it much better :).
I love this scent and people love it on me. Definitely a evening scent, very smoky and woodsy. I wear scents like Lolita and Alien very well so headier perfumes work best on me. This is one that draws compliments from both sexes and I beleive very much that the perfume you smell on someone is not going to smell the way you expect it to for yourself. I once smelled Cliniques Happy on someone and I just wanted to follow them around...so I did lol to ask her what she was wearing and she said Happy so I went down and bought it for myself but sadly it did not have the same appeal or meld quite the same and I just ended up chasing another ghost and have chalked it up to the scent belonging to that stranger. Lucky gal!
sweet and sexy scent.. it even stay on my clothes even after washing.. it was a gift from my husband and everytime he smelled it on me he wants to make love right away...very alluring and full of passion scent..
I love this perfume.
One of the best perfumes I have in my collection.
It even my style.
Ultra feminine, with a very good projection and excellent longevity.
If you seek a highly seductive scent, chic, feminine, strong, and charming personality, do not doubt that this CK is everything you want.
I am delighted. I wished him a long time. Now that I have a bottle, I can confirm that it is much better than I could imagine.
EXCELLENT.
Highly recommended.
this smelled sooo masculine but also so cosy and sexy on me! really love it! very deep.
I love this perfume, I have 100+ bottles of perfume and this is only second to Chanel Allure Sensuelle. The scent reminds me of Yves Rocher The Night of Neblina, a heavenly luxurious fragrance that had been long discontinued. I finally met something that resembles it. Although Euphoria does't quite match the richness and depth of The Night of Neblina, it has more of a uplifted floral happiness to it. If you loved the Night version of YR Neblina, I highly recommend trying CK Euphoria.
I think i've finally found that elusive signature scent! This is what i've been looking for if only i'd found it oh about say 20 or more bottles of perfume ago I could've saved myself a fortune! what a surprise to come from Calvin Klein as not usually desperately excited about their fragrances. This is excellent lasting power especially when used in conjunction with the body lotion. It's woody and slightly masculine with a hint of red fruit of some sort at the start (perhaps the pomegranate) although I don't know if those above are the official notes? Love, Love Love it! It's just me what more can I say!
I love this scent, this is my antidepressant:)
I don't like it. Glad I try it before buying. I swear I could smell pineapple. Sorry, it might work on others; just not for me.
i've been using this for 2 years oready, it smells nice, sweet, and sexy tat every men loves it. ;) And I also use it with its body lotion. But too bad it doesnt last long on me. :/
I bought it only once and it was the first and the last time. It smells like Old Spice ... It is very masculine fragrance. This perfume is just not for me.
It's a delicious one, but the smell of flower drives me bad.
Sweet, very powerful, creamy, girly yet elegant. I like it, but I'm missing something in this scent, not exactly sure what. It's also slightly old fashioned, I'm 26, maybe I need to wait a decade or so, to be able to truly appreciate Euphoria.
sophisticated and sexy, suitable for older women
I feel that Euphoria is more woody than floral on my skin although it contains violet, a flower that I am not particularly fond of in perfumes and which I usually find very screamy. Honestly, my nose cant´t pick it up here. Euphoria is a sophisticated, and absolutely wonderful fragrance, suitable for any occasion. I don´t find it too strong nor too masculine but maybe there is something wrong with my nose;);) If you find it too strong, give the bodylotion a try.
sophisticated and sexy, men will like it :)
wooooooooooow i like so much this perfume
smell so strong but very sexy, sweet .realy realy loooooove euphoria
smells sexy and nice on a woman in her 40's and counting..it's so strong and dark to me :(
this one smells exactly... Calvin Klein. If you want something bold, this is not it. Euphoria, forget about it. It is very toned down minimal... I found it a pleasant one, though it does not have much character.
There is one component I can smell about almost all Calvin Klein fragrances and I do not like that, could be their take on violets not sure.
I got this as a gift and I did not like it first. After some months standing there,I've tried it on a rainy,cold day and I fell in love with it. It's a bit sweet,very musky but also warm and makes you feel...cozy...I found out that my sister wears it too but to be honest on her smells very different! I think I like it better on her! LOL!Anyway,it's a nice perfume,perfect for winter!
*** Ugg boots!!! That's what it reminds me off! Not that they are ugly,but the way your feet feels in them! Warm and cozy while trying to get my car out of a mountain of snow!!! :))))))
That's why I LOVE PERFUMES! Even that no-name one takes you back in time and brings back nice memories!!!
I had a pomegranate room spray that I used to love and Euphoria smells very much like it except with a bunch of dark musk added in, I like it but my only thought when I sniff my wrist is that room spray!
Long lasting but it is very intense! too strong. I would say it is woody and very masculine and maybe a good option for an evening out clubbing?
I smelled this on my niece and just about fell over when she gave me a hug...horrid! It is way too 'dark' and mysterious of a scent for me to handle. It actually reminded me of body odor or something very dank and unappealing. Not good!
My mum first loved this perfume when she first tried it at Macys.. Later on she didnt like it AT ALL and neither did I or anyone really... it smells alcoholic... I do not recommend this perfume.
Something about this fragrance throws me off and slightly turns me off but overall a decent scent. Maybe it's the pomegranates that throw me off or the bit of masculinity this scent has to me. However,the longer I have this scent, the more it grows on me.
Euphoria has been my signature scent since it came out in 2005. I have gotten tons of compliments, mostly from men. I've tried several other scents but have yet to find one that smells as nice as this one on me..just seems to fit with my chemistry. When I tried to change, my daughter said..Mom you don't smell like you anymore. I guess it will always be Euphoria for me.
Pomegranate smoothened by musk, smells like an exotic fruit at first, then when it settles you can smell the musk coming through the pomegranate.
Its my favourite Calvin klein perfume, it lasts and lasts and lasts allday. I also like the body lotion & shower gel for this one, they smell great alone without the perfume if you want a lighter version of it...
sweet, woody yumminess!!! my husband and i were in the drugstore and picked this baby up! bought the gift set for 31.00!! SO happy to add this to the collection, and to think, he grabbed the box after smelling it on me!!
Sweet, creamy, dark, unique, wooded and oh so masculine. Euphoria is a rather strong and interesting fragrance that I'd like to see the beauty in but I can't get past the masculine edge that is brought forth on my skin! o.O Maybe it's not just my skin but it has the same tone and feel as J'aime La Nuit and I liked that one even less. I'm happy for all the lovers of this one and I'll ascertain that it smells magnificent on you all but it just isn't working for me. Oh well! You win some and lose some. :( Lasting power was moderate for an Edp, about 5hrs on my skin and the sillage was nice.
The dry down of this is somewhat nice, balanced, as other CK fragrances are, but I just can't get past the top notes. It's cloyingly sweet and stays that way for the first hour.... I can't help thinking of grape juice until the top notes finally give way. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the "grape ape" opening reminds me a great deal of Beckham's Signature for women, which has the same effect on me.
my skin brings out the darkest flowers dipped in thick sweet creme making it sinfully enticing mysterious and dangerous.
my most complemented fragrance with massive sillage and incredible lasting strength
**better be bold with it on**
I love this fragrance in my skin.. some people say its annoyng and it causes headaches but i dont think so.. its so gorgeous.. and adorable.. mistyrious.. Anyway I love it..
I've used this perfume for a year and I've got a lot of compliments but I dont like it myself,its a love/hate perfume,for me it was sooo sweet and annoying and the most noticible note was pomegranate,the dry down was sweet again but its not a food afterall,its a perfume!I dont want to eat it!
Euphoria is the most long lasting perfume I've tried and the silage is perfect but as I said powdery and sweet
Dusty, sweet, dry, dark. For my own taste, the sweetness is just a bit too strong, too much candy, too sticky. Some might find that sexy, but I think after awhile it gets cloying. So much flavor in this perfume, almost mouth watering!
I love this sent.It makes me feel like a powerful women.Is sexy and strong and gets alot of attention from men.I had a couple male strangers tell me that you smell so sexy and exotic may i have your number .My boyfriend request this when he is in the mood....... This fragrance is for only sexy women with confidence is not for the weak or insecure.Is for the bold and beautiful!! This is best worn at fall or winter and maybe spring if you are daring like me.
On me the dry down of this is woody, smokey and deep musk and still retains the pomegranate but only as a slight undertone. This is one of the few fragrances that I've worn that I've gotten compliments from both men and women. But, when I tell them what I'm wearing they always tell me it smells different than on others. This one is pretty intensive so I wouldn't blind buy. Test this one first.
gorgeous, sexy & smokey sweet. i chose this for my best friend about 4 years ago and she still wears it, yay! only problem is i could never wear it now as for me it will always be 'hers'
I keep testing this out every once in a while, certain that at some point it will smell beautiful on me as it apparently does on others who have reviewed it.
Others describe Euphoria as seductive, dark and mysterious. Indeed, if the ads are any indication, this should be one luscious, velvety, complex perfume.
Unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way for me at all. It's fruity and sweet, mixed in with that typical "cheap cologne" scent that CK scents often seem to have. Nothing dark, woody or bold about it. It's also not an intense scent on me - it actually smells quite watered-down. The result is a boring, watery, plastic-candy scent that closely resembles those "wine gums" candies. Plus some soap in the drydown. The antithesis of dark and seductive. I guess my skin chemistry just doesn't work with this fragrance.
This is one of my favorite perfumes of all time and I've been wearing it since it was first introduced. I prefer it as an evening fragrance and/or for special occasions, but I think this perfume can be worn any time and any season as it is very versatile.
I love the sensuously fruity initial scent as well as the musky drydown and out of all the CK fragrances this is the one I like the best. It's also not overly expensive.
The scent does last a few hours on me but I find I need to respray every so often to keep it fresh. The perfume has great sillage at first, although it does diminish after the first hour or two. It stays stronger for longer if sprayed on clothes or hair as well as skin, or layered with the body lotion.
This is my signature scent and I really adore it as do my friends! This perfume (along with D&G Light Blue) always gets me the most compliments.
too much musk on me...too masculine...
EDIT-almost a year later and it has won me...I love it...what masculine side? it's dark but still fruity and creamy...simply gorgeous
I don't know what's wrong with my body chemistry, it just doesn't like this fragrance, I love this perfume so much it smells beautiful in the bottle but on me well I smell like a man. It's so musky that My mom even asked "are u wearing cologne today ", imagine! I have the same problem with Black xs.
I'm so envious of all of you who can pull it off.
Most perfect smell - dark purple fruit with creamy night flowers and sexy musk. It's too strong for everyday, and I wouldn't spray much as it is one of those fragrances that can be overwhelming. It's a special perfume. I like it a lot.
This is one of my blind buy perfume, and I don't regret!! It's kind of dark and purple perfume. I don't know why others tell it's too strong, I don't think so... I imagine woman who wear this is confident, independent (like she doesn't need man :p), without leaving her feminine side (because the drydown is creamy). I love it!! Perfect for winter or night.
This is a very spicy scent, but smells a bit too synthetic for me to fall in love with it. It's still a very nice, warm classic scent.
i like it's fragnance but it doesnot last more that 2 hours !!!!
I bought it cause it's popular but don't like it.i don't like woody,musky scent.i gave it to my cousin and she really likes it and she said she had a lot of compliments from her colleagues.
actually i liked its mysterious ,sexy ,hot ,spicy,n strong n i love how it smells on my sister bt on me it was nothing special maybe its just my body chemical its great for winter nights..
I love this scent! Sexy, intense, seductive, hot, mysterious scent!
Relaxing fragrance,ideal for winter nights.
it is for me! one of best perfumes :*
I almost love the original version of euphoria,it suits me right.I have also received many compliments wearing it.Actually,i think it is a guarantee perfume if you want to make the heads turn around.I only wish it would be even more feminine as i can recognize a slight masculine scent in it when it dries down.Let's hope that the new version "forbidden euphoria" will be as perfect as we want it to be and of course ideal to become our signature!
One of my go-to fall/winter scents. Total man-magnet frag; men go nuts over this! It is dark and kinda masculine, but I love it!
EDIT: I swear, when I put this on, I feel like a total bombshell. Seriously, I can be having one of "those" days, and this scent takes care of it. Such a sexy frag as it's the perfect blend of dark sweetness and masculinity. I get tons of compliments when I wear this, from both men and women, although men seem to be more intrigued by the scent. I usually wear this in the cooler months, but I tried it this summer, and I found it's muskiness to be even sexier with the heat; perfect for hot summer date nights. It's a shame that so many women find this scent too masculine; it's very long-lasting and sensual. If you've tried it before and didn't like it,do give it a second chance. :)
This is a very nice scent,it's Sensual and very sophisticated. The only problem I have with it, that it doesn't last more then 5 minutes on me.
This is a delicious fruity floral (not oriental at all, as it's classified) that is very well-balanced relative to the amount of popular advertising it receives. As a result, it's unfortunately far too common. While it's a nice comfy scent for wearing around the house, it's not sophisticated enough to wear out. I'd just be embarrassed if somebody recognised it.
I get lightly spiced treacly fruity floral. Other people seem to love it and I don't really get what's so marvelous. I'll be honest, I wear this one not for me, but for other people and to be liked. It's a safe bet for compliments.
Just realised what it reminds me of.. Miss Dior Cherie. Another popular frag I don't really understand why so popular. These two quite similar, same kind of sweet jam smell.
OMG!!!! I thought I didn't like this but I LOVE IT!! I smelled it on someone else and I thought it was revolting. I keep reading on Fragrantica how you all love it and find it sexy so I decided to give it another chance. I went to the shop today to get a card strip sample, got talking to the lady who said its her favourite so I asked if she would spray my wrist to check it was good on my skin. Its GREAT on my skin! I've been walking around in a delicious cloud all day. Euphoria, I'm sorry I was mean to you, but I will make it up to you by purchasing a large bottle as soon as I have the money.xxx
I just had to have this...The bottle is uniquely styled. It smells just ok on me... A little strong so I dont wear a lot, Ive used the lotion instead since less potent. I wish that I would have gotten Blossom after smelling my friends Blossom bottle.
very good stay power and sillage, a good perfume, but everybody wears it =P
I have to agree with the people who say: fresh and masculine. So not my type.
Attention grabber, not a delicate or elegant perfume.
Feminine and fruity, but with a masculine factor in the background. It's strong yet creamy. It's made of contradictions which complete each other to create a homogeneous whole.
The only downside is that so many women use it, which makes it very common. It's present in every single dance club I've gone to. Since it's got excellent staying power and silage, no wonder it's the number one for all the women on the hunt ;)
*****
Scent really matches the name. It is euphoric.
Spicy and sexy! I like this one quite a bit.
Like cloud or flirt. It evaporates from body, but in magic way it becomes a blow and who likes to be close to you, he or she will notice, that something attracts them to smell you all, to be a little pup and rasp with noses your skin to catch that blow... And after that how can you say that it does not work ??
very nice perfume but all womens in egypt wear ephoria but its soooooooooooooo sexy woow very hot all mens like it soooooooooooooo much
I already added a review but didn´t come up...well what can I say? Best frag out there, guys ask u all the time what are u wearing? mmmmmmm great fragrance!! I were it everytime I can, in the summer or winter doesn´t matter, u always receive compliments on this!!! Definitely a keeper!!! =) Try it u won´t regret it!!
I love it. It smells great on my skin and I get a lot of compliments when I wear it!
This is sweet and exotic smelling. Fruity and sweetly spicy, and suitable to be worn any time I would say. I even wore it on a summer holiday for evening and found the exoticness worked well in the heat.
Unfortunately the 60% of the women walking in the street in Turkey are wearing Euphoria. It is really a very nice and strong one but as I said before everybody wears this perfume, it is just like a uniform distributed free by the state. So I don't use this wonderful scent anymore
I got this from a co-worker who wore it everyday. I loved it on myself as much as on her. This is for a women with passion.
Impression of this perfume for me is soft and delicate girl walking around with with silky or chiffon clothes. Flowing and seductive, I do like the floral notes, and the longevity is very good! Very nice perfume!
Creamy, exotic, seductive. This is gonna be around for a loooong time.
I feel bad for the people who cannot stand this perfume or if it doesn't mix with their skin chemistry. This perfume is the goddess of all perfumes and anyone who has a good nose will appreciate the heavenly sensations that waft into their olfactory senses.
This perfume screams "I'm Confident. I'm Sexy. I'm Charismatic. I'm a Goddess. I Am Who I Am, and I'm not afraid to use it."
For those of us who love to be the center of attention, receive compliments, and feel good about ourselves, this perfume is your best friend. It will turn heads, and quite a few. That's the point of wearing perfume isn't it?
When you first spray it, it's very strong. It has a woodsy, musky, and masculine smell to it in a charming way. It eventually dies down to something a bit more feminine but nonetheless sexy and seductive. I believe this works for sophisticated women more, but girly-girl types can also make it work if they let it.
Fruity, exotic, and dark but still there's something gentle about it. Soft, a great all round perfume. A little sexy but still a good choice for any occasion. Great lasting power.
EN ESPAÑOL!
apenas la olí ayer, mi me parecio muuuy parecido a 212 sexy de carolina herrera, tiene el mismo tono dulce, pero con una nota un poco mas fresca, incluso podira usarlas juntas y considero que no se harian daño de lo parecidas que son, por eso no la compré por que ya tengo el 212 sexy, pero en cuento me la acabe si compraria euphoria, es un perfume excelente!!
I bought this when i was in new york for christmas last yr and funnily enough i prefer this one as opposed to the men's scent. i've always liked the sexiness and simplicity of calvin klein's scents. Its true though, Euphoria isn't a complicated scent. It starts off with a floral burst and on me it quickly becomes a bit heavier, like theres a strong woodiness to it..like when you press your nose up against a tree except in the case of Euphoria, that tree would be covered in a vanillay...flowery sort of scent. It lasts all day on me, i find it lasts better on my clothes than it does on my skin. For me the amber and the orchid are always present. Its quite a beautiful scent, definetly worth checking out.
On my skin Euphoria is heady, vanilla, gourmand, sexy scent with a wet, humid-like quality. It adheres close to the skin like a fog. Spillage and longevity reminicent of Angel.
i like it in a woman on her 30-40's.. a very nice smell but too strong for me ! =(
This one stands out of the market. I have a hard time to pick apart the notes, so I'd describe it as a woodsy, spicy and warm. Ideal for fall and winter. It can be a bit overwhelming though so careful not to spray too much. Incredible staying power and sillage, and no surprises: what you smeel at first is what you'll smell in an hour, in five and before going to bed.
This perfume is a very different perfume it stands out very well and the bottle is very different which i very much like this perfume is pretty strong but thats what makes this perfume so good its a very sexy and seductive scent this perfume is more aimed at the younger generation but it is scent that everyone can wear.
this is my first fragnance and by far best one i've i luv it very much. i don't know bout notes but this is sweet floral strong all at the same time this is a sensual perfume to me and i'm completely in luv with it.
The first time I smelled it I loved it, but it was on a carton. When I tried it on my skin I felt it too heavy and a bit overwhealming. Maybe it would be better to give it a chance in winter.
I´ve smell this one today!, I was very expectant about Euphoria, but, I think is not the right perfume for me, I like fresh, floral-fruity, maybe acuatic, soft and relaxed scents, but this is too warm, spicy, and dark for my taste, I still think it´s a great perfume, but for someone else, maybe for someone older. Lasts all day (I apply some in my wrist at morning, a few hours later washed my hands and I still feel the scent).
I smelled this one on my boss one day and I stopped her dead in her tracks and asked her what it was. Being single, the only time I smell this one is when I am at the mall and ask to smell it as if I am actually sampling it for a woman as a gift. This fragrance is for a woman who likes coffee, Merlot or some other dark wine; a woman who is resilient and successful in her career; a woman who is a vixen or perhaps mischievous. There is a sultry allure to this one that lends itself to passion. NO I DON’T HAVE A CRUSH ON MY BOSS LOL . I do love this one though on a woman.
This is a non mainstream version of Angel…yum.whatever woman is bold enough to wear this you can bet has grit to her that is noteworthy. Ladies, just don’t drench yourself in it…please.
I can understand why a lot of people like this but I don't for a simple reason--it give me a bad migraine. I got it as a gift and will never use it. I may give it to my 13 year old niece.
Warm, sensual and delicious is all I can say about this lovely perfume. Lasts forever and gets better and better the longer it is on your skin. Love it!
this perfume is wonderfull, fantastic!!!just great!
I like to wear this with the P.S. I love you body lotion or creme from Bath & Body Works. Actually, that has been my favorite "mixing" lotion as of late! I love the body spray as well. It seems to "tone down" any harsh elements that jump out at you in a strong fragrance such as Euphoria. One thing I don't personally like about this (and it is a petty complaint) is the bottle...It is just clumsy in my hands when trying to spray. :) Or perhaps I am the clumsy one :) Anyway, if you like the smell of dark fruity scents, you may want to give this one a try. There is something in here that reminds me of Midnight Poison Perfume. Does anyone else get that?
I think euphoria is exactly what it is. Reminds me of a field of flowers at the midnight hour surrounded by intoxication. It's deep, rich, and dark.
Reminds me of Classique in the vibe, nice and warm and a sexy potpourri core.
Very wearable, yet distinctive and classy. More of an elegant clinging cashmere than a silky evening feel to it.
Teasing in a sultry and laid back way. Womanly as in a wife whose man is still excited by her. Useful perfume!
I love Euphoria!! I understand all the rave. It's spicey and sexy. I want to make out with the bottle. In my opinion Euphoria is the grown-up version of JLo's Glow After Dark.
For some reason this fragrance wears really well on me. Family members who have never noticed perfume on me before will hug me and say, you smell SOOOOO good. I definitely think that it is very well balanced on me- the top note-pomegranate, mixed with champaca flower and a dash of vanilla in the base seems to conjure up a beautiful fragrance. I haven't tried this fragrance during the day, and I kind of want to- but I am afraid I would smell too strong.
This is the only scent that I can ever remember making me feel sick! Sniffing it from the bottle and on paper, I can understand why so many of you love it but when it hit my skin it turned into one hot mess. It was the musk in the base notes I'm sure and I have never had that happen with musk before. The base turned strong and sour. And yes, very masculine and not in a good way. Eau de Jockstrap.
gorgeous strong sexy smell, feel in love with this fragrance the minute I tried it and ofcourse i had to buy it. Highly recomended 10/10.
Euphoria is the best parfum ever!
This one is too strong for me It makes me feel noxious I cannot concentrate if I wear it at work I cannot taste what I am eating if I use it in the evening
But I like it on others
I love this on a woman. Almost ravishing. A less intrusive version of Angel (which i happen to love as well on a woman)
I have over 80 perfumes, and Euphoria is in my top 3. It is a beautiful, truly unique scent. It is floral, sweet, warm, powdery and faintly spicy. It lasts too. Which is a problem I have with many perfumes, due to the fact that my body temp is higher than normal. In my opinion this is the best fragrance to come out in decades.
I love this Euphoria! Love the smell! It suits my personality so well! XD
I love layering Euphoria Blossom with this....smells sooooo good! Very mysterious and deep...rich and dark.
Euphoria-Calvin Klein
I envision a woman who's sophisticated and introverted with chestnut brown, long, straight hair and gray eyes eating exotic berries from a beautifully hand-crafted bowl. One problem with this masterpiece is the sillage. Within minutes, the scent is gone! But at the same time, don't go overboard because it can get cloying and headache-inducing.
All the notes come through on this one in the most delightful way. I was surprised just how soft and sweet(but not too sweet) this perfume is.
euphoria n. A feeling of great happiness or well-being
Euphoria is true to its name.
My all time favourite fragrance. Oh my god, it smells THAT good! Great staying power. Very delicious. Not too strong and the boys like it ;) (oh and the girls too!)
The edt version of this one is slightly different, more sheerful, but still pretty similar and perfect for summer. So Euphoria for the winter and the etd version for the summer.
I don't like the other versions of this scent (blossom, spring temptation) because they smell nothing like this one.
My father once commented (me wearing this for the first time around him and just freshly sprayd): you smell like cough syrup.
The moment you spray Euphoria, you're met with the ripe, dark fruit note of pomegranate. However, the instant it touches your skin, the fruitiness evaporates, leaving a peppery, almost tannin-like edge--much like biting into the bitter white seed embedded inside the pulpy, ruby flesh. Or perhaps this is from the persimmon.
The next phase, I'm transported to a humid and steamy rainforest, where wild salacious orchids are growing from the trunks of exotic woods and working overtime producing a sweet, milky sap--the scent profusely emanating through the heavy air.
I'm left then, with a rich, woody, vanillaic warmth. Strong, comfortable and enduring (it has great longevity). However, the name and opening gave me such promise for something more rapture enducing but the culmination was rather unremarkable and hardly euphoric at all, making me feel a little ripped off and teased.
I think I might call a cab.
I love Euphoria. Starts out with pomegranate, settles into a slightly masculine amber with hints of patchouli. It's very heady and a little goes a long way. I find it's best to be very conservative with this one, but it's perfect for going out on winter nights.
This fragrance is a masterpiece.
It's loud, lovely rich fragrance. It first starts with lots of Pomegranate then it develops into a sweet woody smell that lasts forever. when spraying this in the morning, i can even still smell it at the end of the day and your nose even will notice it all the time. I love it more when it drys down. I spray it on my clothes when i go back home and change my clothes i can still smell it on my skin and on my clothes it can be their for months.
Men also loves this scent. it is easily recognizable.
its amazing..
I "blind bought" this one for my wife and am still very glad that I did :) I can only agree with the positive reviews below.
To my nose it is feminine and very sexy without knocking you over with vanilla. It borders on being edible without crossing the line into the world of cloying, over-sweet candy scents. Actually, NNN hit the nail on the head: wearable and sexy at the same time. Thankfully not over-popular here (Finland), so for me this great fragrance is my wife's only!
If you want to be admired and sexy, wear Euphoria, in my top, is no 1. Is so unique.
Wonderful. I love a perfune thats LASTS! and this one does.
Not too much needed with this one.
Whenever I smell this on other people I feel happy.
This is and will always be one of my most loved and treasured perfumes.
The best way to find a brilliant perfume in my opinion is spray it on your clothes, then smell it hours later. If it is still there is it worth buying, if you like it of course. If it has gone, think? is it worth it really. So often now I spemd a lot of money on a new bottle and it just disappears in an instant. Not good.
Headache inducing for me. I can feel it in my throat and it makes me want to gag. Even after I wash it off the smell lingers! I can't get away from it!!
Very strong and sexy but this scent for strong and Bold woman,when i wear it i feel confidence strong Bold femininity anyway it is feminine fragrance for evening and special date.
strange, i don t find it strong in any sense.... it lingers soft fruity floral-powdery near the skin.
sillage could be mutch better, staying power not bad but could be better too. calvin klein frags don t last on me... this one makes no expetion.
too weak to be a loving fragrance for me. by looking at the expensivity it gets one point more to not purchase it.
btw. midnight pommegranite (i own the special edition) from bath and body works smells similar, just less sultry, juicier, bolder, darker even without the patchouli note) and it lasts more with great sillage.
Euphoria is the perfect example that you don't need lots of vanilla and a powdery fragrance to create a sexy perfume.
Yes it's sweet and strong, but there's a freshness, I'm guessing the pomegranate, that makes Euphoria wearable and sexy at the same time.
Just look at the love/like/dislike numbers. This is almost unanimity.
one of my favorite perfumes. it is a bit strong but in a good way and it lingers too.
it is a bit musky which I really like, and a bit sweet like black berry, or maybe it's the pomegranate but to me it smells more like black berries with musk and violets and amber. it is lovely. I wear it more in the winter time, but also in summer I have a crave for euphoria and wear it.
For summer I prefer Euphoria blossom- which is a favorite too. it is just like euhporia but a bit citrusy which makes it perfect for spring and summer.
love them both.
This is Gorgeous! a special one. I can feel the heads turn as I pass by when wearing this one. So many compliments and men love it too. Say no more!!!
I love this fragrance, definitely in my top 5 ;-) . When I first spray it in on in the morning, the pomegranate wakes me up with an instant smile! I lasts strongly throughout most of the day with the top notes being lost the first hour, but they drift effortlessly into the middle notes with orchid standing out most. JUST REALIZED THIS MUST BE WHY I LOVE TOM FORD's BLACK ORCHID, I love the way the orchid smells here haha. By the end of the day when I go to work out, I faintly smell the mahogany and amber. Its the best way to end the day :)
A sweet, dark and mysterious scent, I love it so much! I feel confident, sexy and unique. the bottle design is beautiful. The only bad thing about it is the staying power I wish it last longer on me.
edit: i found that if you put a generous amount on (5 sprays) it'll last much longer.
In theory I should really like this, it is recommended all the time based on other perfumes I like but it has a strength and potency to it which gives me a headache even when I spray a small amount. I think that I have figured out that notes such as violet and orchid can tend to be too cloying for me. It is strange, since I normally love powerhouse perfumes - two of my favorites are Poison and Samsara. Maybe its the bitterness that the top notes bring as well that make this too heavy and fruity for me, and overall just too bombastic. I was just thinking I had the same experience with John Galliano's fragrance which has a lot of violet in it. Unfortunately not for me, but I still love my powerhouses!
This is an all time favourite for me, I am totally addicted to the smell, I just can not get enough of it. It is a very sultry scent, sexy and euphoric! I have honestly never received this many compliments on a fragrance that I've worn and my partner can't get enough of it on me. I have purchased this over and over again and I never tire of it. This is an amazing fragrance and I never thought I would be a CK fan.
Sweet, dark, and mysterious. This is definitely a night fragrance as it's too heavy for day time.
But very nice and sexy! Can't wait to wear this next time I go out. :)
Euphoria is a fragrance that compels me. It has a dark mystery that is alluring and complex. Rich and warm and smoky. I reserve this fragrance for special occasions when I want to intrigue. Always gets dangerous attention. Not for casual wear.
Very disappointed with this one! So much so that I binned it!! Sickeningly sweet on my skin, no matter how I tried to like it I just could not!!!
All I can say in yummmyyy. I am going to break down & buy a bottle. I had for quite some time. Christmas Gift 3 years ago
It was my favourite a few years ago when I first got it. I've outgrown it now but used to get complimented on how well it suited me. Unique and exotic smelling!
i love it...and i'll have it 4ever..
it's so sexy
Its a great TREND SETTER fragrance by ck. For me its a pioneer of introducing a strange camphoraceous notes in female fragrance. It is sweet it is aromatic though it is a bit synthetic yet it is absolutely wonderful and unique.
Excellent silage and longevity with excellent bottle that truly compliments the fragrance. though i don't like its male counterpart very much but intense version of male euphoria is also awesome.
I give it great 8.5 out of 10.
This is probably the sort of thing I would enjoy smelling on a passing person, but not on my skin. It's the sort of fragrance that gives me a headache with sustained contact. Not sure why.
Euphoria, sadly for itself, is another fragrance that majorly suffered because of its popularity.
I must say, I loved it from the first smell, worn it for a year or so, and an still very fond of it. I know how some people love bragging about how popular it is, and how usual, and how boring, and how ...(insert any other negative adjective).
For me, Euphoria is amazingly well composed. I think it was the first, or one of the first fragrances smelling that way, and later on a lot of others followed. Not Euphoria's fault. You wont blame a direcotor of a (good) popular movie for the fact that others copy him. The musky lotus and orchid can be very soft on your skin, but they can also be quite powerful. There is some sweetness in the base, and a touch of wood. And I think, if you do not overdo it (a bit of a good mood is great, but too much of euphoria can turn your entourage into a not-so-happy-one), people around you will love it too.
This is just my opinion ,but it's kind of boring in the sense that I've smelled this scent before in a million other perfumes. It is definitely an oriental, the spice is subtle, and the bottle is very modern, but there is nothing that special about it on my skin. Maybe for others it does something spectacular, unfortunately I'm left wanting.
seriously it smells a little spicy and masculine but i like it!
I like it, but I can't love it.It's too spicy, comercial, popular and kind of common. When I smell it I think of "a life in plastic..it's fantastic!". Sexy, sensual, but not unique, not unforgettable!
Hi girls, I know I am a guy, but for some reason, I had to do this review, this was a scent which a friend of mine gave it to me, thanks! XD
On my skin (yes I spray it on me for the test):
Top : The strength of concentrated eau de parfum kicks in. A burst of flowerly scent, but the musky-incense like scent 'wrapping' around the flower scent. A touch of some berry-like scent, blends very well. 5-6 hours mark.
Middle: Burst of incense creeps out, but not over powering, you can still scent the flowery-berry like scent, and....for some reason...there's some woody scent on it, but barely detectable 5-6 hours hours mark.
Base: The scent calms down, the blend of top and middle notes just sit quiet on your skin, but still detectable. 5-6 hours.
A SPECTACULAR FLOWER-BERRY scent, that is drinkable to me. HAHA!
For some reason, I think this is a unisex fragrance, there's something masculine and something feminine in it.
Depending on skin chemistry, some girls...might have the masculine in it. Some guys....might have the feminine in it. Or vice versa.
YOU WON'T BELIEVE the complements I get from wearing this, many said things like 'ow, this is a gentlemen fragrance for sure'; and 'wow, that is a well done masculine flower-berry, a smoky at the same time'
This scent is very versatile. Light application, at it is can be used for work. 3 spray applications, and it will be a function scent. 2 sprays, and you are ready for sexy time. 3 sprays, and you are ready for the clubs.
I would recommend this for any ladies 22+ up.
Ladies, you do not want to go over board with this, its one spray to your 'in-between-your-breast' when you are wearing a low v-neck, and one shot on each of your wrist--> and a quick touch from your wrist to your neck's pulse points.
Or two on each neck pulse points (or 1 on the center of your neck), and one shot on each of your wrist--> and a quick touch from your wrist to knees if you are wearing skirt.
From the top till the dry down, this is....by far.... the BEST Calvin Klein scent that I have ever experienced. CK has a lot of flankers from its original one, that is why its boring, but this one, is a unicorn in the fragrance world.
It can be someone's signature scent for sure.
The country I am in has no 4 seasons, so it is either hot or cold weather. This works very well on both, but be easy on the trigger.
My rating (base on 5 stars)
Scent: 4 (Unique, but I bet many people own this).
Sillage: 5 (Incredible, it leaves a trail for sure, walking up the stairs, and the scent will still linger around the stairs, being in an elevator and guys will feel like making love to you).
Time length: 5 (This is nuts, this one lasted on me almost 24 hours, even after my bath, I can detect the scent when I am under the fan).
Occasion: 4 (It could get cloying in the day, but cold-night or not-so-hot day, bingo, this one is your jack-of-all-trades scent).
Overall base on mathematics: 4.5/5
Wait for another few years when it is not popular, and revisit this, this is a keeper for sure =)
it's strong and really sensual, i'm 18 and i like it but it's not for me so i would recommend it to older people. It's not that smell that you want to feel sweet and careless. it's sophisticated and mature.
long lasting!
The exotic fruits are thick, sweet and heavy. Underneath there is a slight edge. It could be because of the musk or the woods... either way it's what gives this fruity floral drama and makes it far more intoxicating than its peers. It somehow makes me think of a fruity liquor... fantastic date fragrance.
What a sexy scent! Euphoria is beautiful so dark and creamy. Whenever I wear this perfume I get people complimenting me on the smell. Lasting power is exceptional, just wish you could get more juice for your pound, but you get what you pay for worth spending!! My wrist is attatched to my nose soooo intoxicating!!
I purchased this one(at a super ptice) but left it in a friend of a friends car b4 returning home... Naturally the friend of the friend claims they never found it(LIES!!!), so I was very very upset... Anyhow that 10 brief minutes we spent together was complete heaven!!! This is a very sensual fragrance w/ creamy florals, molten woods, and sweet spices, and there is nothing else quite like it... I will re-purchase when I find it at a good enough price...
its a mysterious and dark scent. perfect for colder months. the pomegrante is key and lovely. the darker scents at the base keep it so mysterious and lady-like. its very sexy scent. perfect for days working in the office or a provocative night out with a handsome date.
Very strong and feminine and masculine at the time. You can really smell the orchid and the musky scent is also prominent.
My arm was attached to my nose when I first tested this. It starts out loudly, sweetly, and fruity-florally. When the pomegranite dissipates it turns into this lovely warm delicious and elegant oriental, slightly floral. Nice!
Begins as a heady floral and finishes as a very clean, woodsy scent with subtle florals. Not at all fruity on my skin nor is the amber very prominent. Amazing lasting power and strength of course so be careful applying! Lovely and somewhat less feminine than euphoria edt.
I love woody smells, and as long as I use it sparingly, as it is quite heavy, the smells lingers on but doesn´t overpower :)
The openning is strong fruity smell, the mildle is orchid.
Uhm! This smells like Perry Ellis 18, DKNY delicious night...I think it is a great smell.
im not a big fan of euphoria and always thought it was overrated too loud too much headache and very very very popular u smell it all the time everywhere although long lasting but this means more nausea ,, the bottle is cute but the juice is YUCK

7/10
My cousin wears this and it is exquisite on her- it has incredible projection and does not smell at all dirty nor like anything occuring in nature! I'm afraid to try it though because it is so ubiquitous right now. It's quite unique but so many are wearing it..
Calvin Klein fragrances are known to be set in a certain "time". If one comes out in a certain decade or year, then it will always remind you of that time or a moment when you wore it. I've had many samples of this one since it's debut... and I think it was on overload. I couldn't appreciate it simply because it was everywhere in stores. Since it's been a few years I went back to it, and have to say I loved it as a cool weather perfume. Exotic warmth..
This perfume is simply gorgeous.It really makes you feel as if sitting in front of a fire place and drinking red whine with your loved one.. It smells so sexy.
The fragrance is a very sweet one as the initial orchid and pomegranate come through very strongly and last a long time. As it ages on the skin it becomes less heady and more delicate, but just as sweet, even luxurious. There is something about it that reminds me of shopping all day in high-end departments stores for handbags and jewellery...
At first spray this perfume is hugely peppery and I was really taken aback considering I thought it would be more flowery/feminine.
I kept it on and kept smelling after a while as it calmed down I finally hit the dry down and it smells pretty good. Its very musky and masculine in my opinion, I think men could easily get away with wearing this! I wouldn't wear it myself, Im much more of a girly girl type : )
Seductive-Sexy-Sensual.
Only these 3 words cross my mind when I smell Euphoria.
It is a lust elixir, it is thick but not nauseatic, it is sweet but not cloying, it is strong but not overpowering, it is sexy without screaming sex.
One of the mots wonderful fragrances I have ever tried!
Even if you're not into floral fruity fragrances (as according to me Euphoria is far from being orinetal floral and closer to fruity group), try it as Euphoria is far from being a plain fruit cocktail.
Brilliant mixture!
Love it!
Interesting fragrance. It starts of sort of sharpish and masculine, but then it's becomes a bit lighter and floral. Quite nice, though I prefer Escape by CK. Euphoria could be nice if I want to smell a bit more mysterious.
Reminds me of a fruity version of Versace Crystal Noir. Has the dark floral notes and amber in common. This is much more tolerable for me because I cannot take the strong boozy nature & plasticky-smelling gardenias in VCN.
The red fruit note in Euphoria is well blended with the oriental notes and is very pleasant, just have to use a light hand until the cool weather comes.
I think most men like this on women because of the flirty combination of dark fruits & amber/musk. I feel that mixture creates a dark & mysterious, dirty kind of sexuality about it that arouses most men. It has good sillage on me. (despite being from CK) It will stay in my "like" category because I cannot wear this in hot or humid weather as the heaviness makes me a little nauseous.
But if you CAN handle this scent on yourself during summertime, do others a favor and don't overspray.
This is a unique scent. You'll know this one from the sea of fruity-floral-foody at one sniff. It's a modern woman's fragrance, verging on the masculine. The strongest note is the almost-metallic black violet--this scent just smells "black". I normally loathe metallic edges, but this one, somehow, works. And Euphoria is strong. You won't need to announce yourself when you come into the room. Still, I'm buying a second bottle, because it's so different from anything else out there.
It is creamy, strong, it definitly makes an appearance, but it's just too dark, heavy, almost masculine. I usually don't mind that, but my head would beg to differ.
I think it's amber that kills all that presumably sexy mood, and makes everything else fade, invisible, actually. So, I can only agree with Zvoncica's review. Very tyring. Too bad.
This will always be one of my favorites! I love it, I love it, I love it.....and so does my boyfriend. He always asks me to wear this one and constantly compliments me on how good I smell. This one lasts and lasts on my skin all day! This will definitely stay in my collection. It is definitely worth the price. "Warning", a little goes a long way with this one. You will give yourself a headache if you spray on too much....so proceed with caution!! Enjoy....I sure do!
The best perfume ever! I just love it! I can't resist. It's a treasure in my collection:)
I love this and it has become my signature scent. It is rich without being overflown. The drydown is fantastic and it lasts! I can smell it on my sheets when I go to bed and it's like a hug.
You know this perfume is very popular, its hard not to like, it's sexy and voluptuous , it's flirty , it says ' I am pulling you in to my gravitational pull'. I really feel like this perfume tries too hard , it really wants to impress you. I was drawn in at first but I really don't know anymore.
The true beauty of this perfume is in its drydown.
When I first applied I thought - wow, this is FRUITY! A very rich, luscious tropical fruit mind you but hardly unique. For a few hours it seemed like I could get the same thing from J-LO for half the price. And then came the magic.
The drydown is mysterious, deep, sensuous & a complete suprise.
This perfume is a bit like Christmas in that Christmas Eve is the exciting fruity period where you can anticipate what you might be getting the next morning and then when you open your gifts they are just as awesome as you imagined. And the happiness lasts & lasts & lasts, all through the Xmas pudding.
All in all, worth the money.
I have been searching for a special, intriguing, recognizable, yet nOt headache inducingly strong perfume, and I think I have found it. Euphoria is perfect!
It is a little outside my comfort zone, stronger, more interesting and special than the "safe" perfumes I used before, like Bvlgari Voile du Jasmine, or Versace Bright Crystal, but it is still gentle enough. A truly complex, warm, feminine scent. I can sniff it for hours, and still find something new in it.
My way of coping with the summer heat is to enjoy it, and let my body get used to it. Therefore a warm perfume, like Euphoria suits me during a hot summer.
Euphoria by Calvin Klein, as EDP, it's deep and thick, but never too heavy, a satisfactory combination of fruits and flowers. Rather a warm scent for winter nights which would makes you feel quite protected. It's less sourish than Euphoria Blossom, but more feminie and smells more luxe as well. Worth collecting!
I love this scent. I found a sample in a magazine and I had to buy it straight away. It's sexy and perfect for colder days. At the beginning it seems to be quite heavy but during the day I can smell that creamy accord. Good staying power and nice bottle. Maybe this is my signature scent as I think it really matches my personality.
Always looking for that 'special' perfume, searching by notes on fragrantica, reading all the reviews..
That is how I bought all my perfumes.
Apparently, nothing special about them, nobody ever smells what I'm wearing. Christmas 2009, my husband surprises me with a scent. He never has an opportunity to do, because I know what's best for me..;-)
He gave me..Euphoria, which I allready smelled in the shop, and found it to heavy/sweet, as I usually choose the powdery, musky scents.
But now, I had to wear this one. And wow!!! Never had so many compliments on a scent, from men and women as I get from Euphoria! Slightly masculine, this scent, allthough it's sweet. The masculine tone gives a wonderful fresh note to it, and after a while, it becomes more vanilla/patchouli. But allways nice, soft yet fresh. A scent I would never have bought myself, turns out to be a hit.. finished my bottle, but have to get another one, to please everyone surrounding me ;-))
Euphoria is a girl ready to go out at night and party. Maybe at a club or trendy restaraunt or bar. She comes on strong, but settles down nicely.
Not elegant, but sophisticated and confident.
Deep, dark fruits and woods. Not sweet at all. This is a 'perfumey' perfume. What I mean is that people will ask,"what perfume are you wearing?" instead of, "what is that wonderful smell?"
I smell a very faint patchouli floating around in there, though it's not listed. Incense, maybe? Whatever it is, it flawlessly mixes with the dark fruits.
Euphoria is not romantic at all, but sexy. When you want to demand attention and let your confidence be known.
Gorgeous.
Several years ago, I was gifted with a bottle of Euphoria. At the time, I had yet to really learn about the importance of letting a perfume unfold on the skin. I have always loved perfume, but until the past couple of years, I often purchased what was "popular" or I would buy a bottle of something based on it's scent straight from the bottle. Oh, my ignorance! After trying Euphoria a couple of times, I scrubbed it off within five minutes, never allowing Euphoria to work it's magic. I hastily gave my bottle of Euphoria to a friend, thinking that it was too sharp, not my taste and a bit unwearable. Later, as I learned all that goes into creating a perfume, I began to understand how to REALLY WEAR perfume. I had a sample of Euphoria and after seeing the notes and reading some reviews, I decided to try it again. It has become a favorite! On my skin, Euphoria opens with sharp, crisp, sour pomegranate and violet. Normally, violet doesn't wear well on me, but the orchid, amber and musk come together to create a softness. All of the notes are beautifully blended and within thirty minutes of application, I am wearing a warm, slightly woody fragrance that has a clean sweetness. Euphoria wears close to my skin, while still having lovely sillage. It is long lasting and just one spray is all that I need for at least six hours. This is a staple in my fragrance wardrobe. When my nose grows tired of my various vanilla-based, fruity florals and sweet orientals, Euphoria is a unique breath of fresh air! In retrospect, I regret giving away my first bottle of this.
Mmm...wearing it right now and it makes me feel very...confident, powerful, in control, irresistible...all that good junk. When I first wore this one day, it didn't really have any effect on me. I just thought "ehh, it smells nice." But all my friends would go crazy and go out of their way just to hug me so they could "take in my heavenly scent" haha. I gotta say, this is quite a head-turner and definitely not for the women who shy away from attention. I give it a 10/10.
This behaves like a floral woody musk on me. At first it is fruity and sweet, and a tad sharp due to the violet note on my skin (which I typically have trouble with). I like the way the pomegranate interacts with the lotus in the heart, but I am glad this phase is temporary, because it's a little too outgoing for me.
My favorite part of the fragrance is the comfortable dry-down. By this point, all sharpness from the violet has gone, and all that is left is a sweet, slightly powdery wood note. It's soft, feminine, and comforting, and the unassuming nature of this fragrance makes it perfect for work.
I also really enjoy the fact that even though I can smell it on myself, it doesn't seem to leave a trail behind me.
I can see myself reaching for this one a lot in the future. It's an easy fragrance to wear.
Dark, a little spicy, berry sweet (but not too sweet) and sexy with a creamy amber, incense drydown. This smells great on my skin and is long lasting. The colors of the ad are perfect, this is definitely a purple and amber scent, That said, there seem to be many scents similar to this out there – I think its success has spawned imitators. I find it similar to Kat Von D Sinner, BBW Black Amethyst and Paco Rabonne Black XS for Her with maybe a little of Alien's woodsiness thrown in. This was released earlier than the others and IMO is the best of the bunch.
Euphoria is a funny fragrance for me. Sometimes I really like it, other times I think it smells like an artificial mess, so I don't reach for it often. But, I always get complimented when I do wear it, so others seem to enjoy it. I'm glad I gave it a whirl, but I won't buy another bottle when mine runs out.
Euphoria smells sweet plus some "smoke" note, artificial, like "plastic" , and pretty "cheap"...
It has nothing special or extraordinary to it ! Nothing feminine and nice..just a sweet plastic smell...Pass....
I really do love this one though I don't reach for it often. It's dark, strong, spicy and sexy. I haven't smelled the male version but think this would work as a unisex fragrance.
But what I love even more than the EDP is the lotion! It's amazing!
This is another fragrance that smells divine on my friend (she also wears Black XS). Too scared to try it myself as we do not seem to have the same body chemistry at all and I don't want to ruin it :-) Strange how I like orientals on other people but can't bear to wear it myself.
it can be love or hate. i do have my 30 ml but i am not wearing it often: its not even to sweet , but all spices makes it masculine, also i am not a fruity lover and Euphoria smells like mixed berry( vine?!)juice with spces. can give a headache when put on to much.
I am absolutely, positively in love with this perfume. I bought a lot of sample vials on ebay, along with a few other perfumes, and this one is hands down my favorite. I wanted to test out all my perfumes, but I couldn't all at once, so I put this one on after I took my shower last night and before I went to bed. I couldn't stop smelling my arm!!! And in the morning... 10 hours later... it had faded BEAUTIFULLY into this warm, round, and slightly dark/sweet aroma, but still clearly on me. I adore this perfume. I am for sure getting the big bottle.
Mmmmmmmm I love this parfum,I like it very much, and the boys love it too:-))))
It´s addict.Perhaps is better for winter or summer nights.
ecuse me but this one a love it , i dont know why there are a lot of people that said that is very strong , like msn perfums, i dont think so , i dont have my bottle yet but i am going to buy it .... i m a fan of pefums , i have a few ones and this one is on my list .. only i m afraid taht dont last long in my skin but i dont think so all the perfum that i have even ck in 2u (that many people said dont lasT)last all day long in my skin .. well i find this sweet , sexy , sensual and very femenine .....
i like very uch i i like a lot of Ck there are exceptions like obbsesion , escape that i hate but ..
The top notes of this perfume can be sharp at first, but after 20-30 minutes Euphoria turns into a sensational creamy amber that is oh-so-sexy! On my skin is not very strong, which is what i like about this perfume. it doesn't scream "HELLO IM HERE!!" The bottle is gorgeous, simple yet unforgettable.
Euphoria is a nightmare perfume. Tyring, depressive and dull. I find no explanation why gorgeous, cheerful ladies whish to wrap themselves in plastic coat, heavy burden and one note playing record launched as Euphoria. The name bothers me the most. The state of exaggerated wellbeing labeled on thick, grungy liquid. I find it not appealing, not sensual, not feminine, not well defined. Most beautiful thing I can say is, maybe I am wrong.
Last minute confession:
I washed my wrists before going to bed. Euforia bloomed, luminated the room, kissed my cheeks with it vividness and crisp. We slept in each others arms all through the night. Seems that water deliberated Euphoria`s soul.
I've been married to the same man for 18 years, and tried many different fragrances. Euphoria is the only one that he has ever complimented me on. In fact, he said the fragrance gets him soooo hot!
He's one of those men who never notices the new haircut or new outfit, so even a mention says a lot for Euphoria.
Calvin Klein EUPHORIA is vaguely redolent of OBSESSION--and a few other frags--but still manages to carve out a distinctive node in the olfactory Ur-sphere, as is always the case, in my experience, with classic CK creations (not true for all of the flankers and limited editions...). The price, as always, to be paid for CK's brand of ready identifiability is...total lack of subtlety!
The spiciness of EUPHORIA cannot be explained by the above listed notes, but these ones (from basenotes) help to elucidate the mystery:
Top Notes: Pomegranate, Persimmon, "Lush Green Accord"
Middle Notes: Lotus Blossom, Champaca Flower, Black Orchid
Base Notes: Liquid Amber, Black Violet, Cream Accord, Mahogany Wood
This is a very masculine "feminine" fragrance, with a dark and heavy almost nutmeg-like spiciness, due in large part, I believe, to the champaca, which is very strong and easily overwhelms. Is it the wood and the bergamot that make this seem so masculine to me?
Perhaps. EUPHORIA is a somewhat curious creation: too aggressive to be a feminine scent, but a bit too flowery to be a masculine scent. Neither nor, I'd say. And unexpectedly loud for a twenty-first-century perfume, even for Calvin Klein, the king of the tattoo-frag!
this is a great perfume. very feminine, fruity and not too sweet.
on me however, it smells sour, but on a woman with the right chemistry it smells wonderful.
Euphoria smells dark, sensual and compelling. The pomegranate is an amazing note as it reminds me of the Greek story of Persephone and Hades.
The floral notes, especially violet, brings forth a warm shower of petals masked with velvety woods, white musk and amber.
The bottle is an interesting shape and color. The scent itself is euphoric and left me wanting more and more.
I simply adore this perfume, it is another wonderful creation from Calvin Klein. It really smells heavenly, I personally dont find it dark or too bold at all.
The pomegranate gives it that tangy feel, it is sweet, it is floral, really really smooth and creamy.
Inital spray on me is strong, I only need one spray on my wrists and neck area, and that's it. I imagine if you overdo it, it would be sharp at the beginning. On me it lasts and lasts. It`s 5pm and I applied it at 9am, and it is still there...enveloping me with its beautiful aroma. Wonderful sillage too.
I have only had this one for two days, and I have received several good comments from people.
It gets compliments from many people, lasts forever, smells great, beautiful bottle....this is hands down, a winner with me.
It is a deep and rather dark perfume. The silage and lasting power are extraordinary; in fact, it’s not easy to remove it from the skin; definitely not a fragrance for a hot summer day. Far to sweet and that’s some kind of syrupy sweetness. Few people asked me if I wearing men fragrance… :)
I love original euphoria one. It smells awesome and fabulous every time i use. It like euphoria comes from heaven.
I admire its fruity beginning! Euphoria is so charming and chic! Easily to feel in love with it.
I love the notes in this one, but it doesn't work on me. bright, dusty flowers and nice green apple dry down to a truly unpleasant sharp powdery floral that I really had to wash off. Pity, because the notes sound so interesting. I guess sometimes interesting isn't what I'm looking for.
This is a great perfume and I think this will be in my wardrobe for a long time to come. It gets better on as the day goes by and I have have not yet had to re-apply. I would say its not as strong as Dior Addict or Angel, both perfumes which I love.Great scent for day or night.
A friend of mine wore this perfume. For me it's too strong and suffocates. It has shopisticated package, but awful smell. Not a masterpiece of Calvin Klein.
Even the fact that Euphoria is being worn by everybody out there, doesn't stop me from loving it as much as I do. Dark, sexy and smoky - love it!
P.S. If you like Euphoria, try Amor Amor Tentation, very similar, a lot cheaper. (Donna Karan Delicious Night has the same vibe as well)
I don't like this at all. For me it's too strong, maybe that's why I don't like it..my friend has it and she's just dying of this perfume, and she wears it every day...but for me, sorry :)(I'm too sensitive, weak maybe to wear it:))
I LOVE this fragrance.So does everyone who smells it on me.Deep,mysterious,sexy and creamy.What else could u ask for?
this fragrance is very unique and sensual when i first sprayed this on my wrist when i was at my aunts house i fell in love with it i would get whiffs of it through out the day even when i walked in to her room where i first sprayed it i would smell i love how the muskyness in it stayed very noticeable the next day later after taking a shower i still smelled it WOW
As for me, i don't like it at all. My friend do love it and i had to put up with her wearing this scent. But, actually, it's very strong. Can hardly be called CK-esque. Too vulgar for the day, too provocative for the evening.
And i add a man could easily wear this.cause its enough strong and sexy for a man.like the one million that they say had a èminine touch.this one could work for a man.
I'm usually not a fan of orientals, but I had to have Euphoria. This is a very seductive, sexy scent. Like another poster mentioned, I think I smell patchouli in this.
I am pleased with this scent, but just today a coworker thought I had sprayed disinfectant in the restroom and it turned out she was smelling my Euphoria!
It's not my husband's favorite on me either.
Nevertheless, it will get in the regular rotation.
Love it.!love the sweet note of pomegranite in it!its new in a smell.it.s a sweet oriental for days that you want to project less but still want a good smell.
Dark and juicy fragrance!
Most of all I feel the pomegranate note in this fragrance. I also feel the similar pomegranate note in Purplelips by Salvador Dali, for example. It smells sour enough. Of course, the other notes are also noticeable. The violet note, the black orchid note and the mahogany note really make this fragrance more seductive and mysterious.
Unfortunately, this fragrance reminds me a pomegranate wine scent, that is why I can't wear it.
I do not like it. I love men's Euphoria on my husband, but women's perfume is too rotten fruity and masculine. Had a sample, and gave it to my mom who also did not like it. I guess it is not for us.
Banality made perfume. If you don't know how to make a perfume just throw everything you have in the cauldron.
Sorry to all wearers, I know this is quite beloved and successful, but I find it so annoying and boring. It is after all a matter of tastes. Nothing can work for just anyone. I was shocked to now that Dominique Ropion worked at this, but then I noticed that I really love some of his works and totally dislike others!Euphoria is on the dislike side, it doesn't work with my chemistry and above all with my nose. It is very strong, masculine, spicy on the heavy side with "cold" spices, very artificial, it smells so chemical and harsh. There is absolutely no creaminess in this one, not even as a mistake. It smells like a soldier. I've noticed that many new perfumes smell like this: it seems that they are like aggressive men disguised in female fashionable clothes.
This is my experience with testing this one a few times and also own a few samples. SAs kept throwing samples to me for a while and I gave them to an aunt I rarely visit. According to listed notes it should smell delicious! Then when sprayed it burdens my head down. It happens to me with many CK and new Gucci's scents. As long as many people enjoy wearing it, I wonder if they use any strange chemical smell that can have positive effects on some and negative on others. I think it's very expensive for the quality you get. The bottle is nice and elegant, a little bit too seen now.
I got this fragrance for Christmas and when I saw the box I was afraid, because CK is not my style and have used many of the frgrances and not one of them was impressive.
The top notes initially put me off but the middle and base notes are so much better I was impressed by the dry down......warm, spicy, sexy with subtlety!!!!!!!
I wear this one cause I just wanna get rid of it as sonn as possible and because at the moment is freezing cold in the UK and can't feel it that much so I can abuse it a bit more. For me this fragrance is cheap and artificial. Lasts forever and has no originality. As someone said in a previous review, this one has too much of everything. Headachey and heavy. So, I use this one for work and shoping, but at night or special moments I stick to real perfume makers, such as Aqua di Parma or Serge Lutens'. C. Klein never even made a proper perfume just good adverts.
One of the few scents I haven't grown tired of. I love the exotic floral.
this really is not my type... its very strong at the begining but about 15mins later it makes me feel sick and just want to wash it off, but i dont think its one for a teenager
Euphoria catches attention. It is quite strong but not overpowering and I just love its top note which makes it stand out! It has something fruity and mounthwatering about it, yet it has its strenght and deepness.
I think it is an evening perfume as something about it makes it special. Men love it too.
As many have mentioned I think it is good for nightclubs - I dont know why but it just has this feel! And yes it is very popular as it is a likeable perfume. Distinct but most will like it.
This is probably one of the best loved frangrances of all time!!!! I'll bet if there was a straw poll done on this it would win by a landslide. I don't have to even go into detail of the beautiful scent that it gives off! Thousands upon thousands of women love this scent so why should I be any different?
As a Mediterranean woman, I like my perfumes like my drinks, strong and lasting and intoxicating... Just a simple fresh smell does not mean perfume for me,, Euphoria is the sort of the perfume that feels cozy on your skin and men just love it!!!(I asked my ex to smell on me three perfumes and pick one,, first was Euphoria, second Chanel 5 and on the third, Issey Miyake -l'eau de Issey- he thought i was joking, that much he hated it!!!
This is my second review of this product, as i'd like to add a few things:
I first came across this when i received a sample from a department store SA back in 2005. A little later, i purchased it.
I was never a fan of CK fragrances but this one immediately caught my attention and i was showered with compliments (mainly from men) during the first few times that i wore it.
Also, back then, not too many people knew of this frag and it seemed to stand out more (within the circles of people that i normally hang out).
Since its launch, it seems as though every now and then, i come across some frag that's trying to "emulate" that feel/sensation/smell that this perfume gives out. I'm talking about the likes of Ricci Ricci by Nina Ricci, Sinner by Kat Von D, etc. At least on my skin that's how they turn out to be.
With all of that being said, i still enjoy this perfume very much, but try to hold off from wearing it a lot because it's still quite popular here and almost everyone either has it or wants to own it...
I can also see why some got bored with it. It's got a really nice, JUICY aroma but not a spectacular one. It's THE sexy perfume for going out to clubs, and... i think that's about it.
I have had mixed feelings about this perfume for a long time but have recently decided I like it. I have never been a huge fan of Calvin Klein perfumes, finding them too masculine and cheaply made. The first time I sprayed this on a paper strip I thought, "Good lord! That is a strong smell!" But for some reason I kept smelling it, and smelling it, I could not stop! Don't know what ingredient they put in this to give it that addictive trait, but it is somehow Euphoric! I do think they picked the perfect name for this perfume. I really can't distinguish any individual notes in it and I always get confused by orchid notes, because I have never smelled an orchid flower that actually had any kind of scent. I am normally a fruity-gourmand type of girl, this is not a perfume that I should like, but I do. It's also refreshing to have found a CK perfume I actually like!
Its a very nice oriental fragrances .when I wore it it was bit too strong but later on it got balanced and smelled perfectly sweet and sexy .I like for daily use in day time .I would give it 5 out of 10 .
This one is Horrible. Stinks like a cheap, very cheap soap. I always wondered why my friend has this weird soapy smell, and at some point i saw her putting on this perfume. So weird...
when I first got this perfume, I couldn't get enough, I was in love with it. used 3/4 of the bottle then it started to smell funky, so i gave it to my mom. She loved it for a month, then couldn't care less about it. I think its just a wonderful scent u can easily get fed up with. So I recommend buying a smaller bottle.
*Lasting and sillage power both very good
Too strong for my taste and a little bit masculine, could it be mahogany ?
Just wondering if the versions that followed are lighter. In this case, might give it a try.
I just love it.i'm a fan of oriental fragrances and i tried many but this one is just like me.it suits me perfectly....what surprised me is that from the first day i put it on me many friends noticed the difference and told me that is exactly like me: always euphoric!
I love this one. I think it remiinds me of Angel that I love, but don`t wear it cause I overdosed on it about 10 years ago.Euphoria is more sour (pomegranate?), the opening instead of being the heady Angel-ic is fruity and juicy, with a good deal of smoke and insence.
And - does anyone know - is there patchouli in here? I swear I can smell patchouli!!!!!!!
It's funny to me and a testament,I suppose to different personal chemistries and memory associations; But some think this is a strong, overwhelming fragrance that lasts forever while others say it is so soft and feminine and fades away to nothing. I myself liked the samples in my magazines years ago but just felt it somehow wasn't deep enough. I liked everything about it, being drawn normally to orientals, amber, musk, and woods. But nothing about HELD my interest. I was so frustrated because it was almost perfectly my type of scent, just too soft and sweet perhaps? Then to blow me away last week my guy came into the bedroom and I just wanted to tear him to pieces. I asked what he was wearing and he had sneaked a spritz from his buddies mom's bathoom stash of euphoria. Yes--a guy! And I have to say it smelled ten times better on him than on me. And not overly feminine, just layered and delicious, sweet and sour, and ambery. He was tempted to try it because a week before we had gone to the men's counter to try some stuff out. We had liked the men's euphoria but I kept feeling it wasn't quite right...on the other hand I loved the men's true religion, not for him but for me!
Again, not everyone likes coconut, or pineapple, or chocolate, even--but how could they not you ask? Well, we are all so different, so much so apparently that absolutely nothing is a given!
I am a rosy skinned tall blond who smells gross in florals and fruits, but great in woods and musks, while my guy who is tall, dark and classicly handsome smells best in "girly" fragrances.
Try anything and be limited by nothing and you'll develop a unique but well suited personal style and people will feel there is just something about you they can't put their finger on.
Exactly, I think, the desired effect ;)
Damn. I've decided that I love this one but I simply can't have it near me as I find something in it literally toxic. It attacks my airways and burns my nose, something that no other perfume has ever done and I've smelled and worn a LOT. Such a shame because I love catching a whiff of it off other people, it is a unique smell, sort of fresh but not in a floral or citrus way, retro but not naff. Sorry CK but I'm hoping you have a look at your ingredients and tweak the formula of this one!
Wow I actually really like this perfume, I am not big on CK but this is just sexy and yummy and long lasting! YUMMY! Great for a night out in a smokey club! I can imagine getting a lot of compliments wearing this from the opposite sex! Who could resist.... Not me. Hahaha
I absolutely adore this fragrance. It's one of those really luxurious and sexy fragrances that you'd want to wear to a special occasion, especially a big night out on the town. Very sultry and feminine. It seems to exude a good dosage of youth despite its overall mature outlook. Ultra hot! I prefer this over the following versions (Blossom, Crystal, Crystalline, etc). It's also very long lasting which is perfect for a night full of dancing activity.
I never get compliments from people on this perfume. Maybe a few people have asked me what it is. I use to think it was great when I had the little sample of it, my boyfriend bought me a huge bottle, but now I'm soooo bored with it. Doesn't smell bad, it's okay - just not exciting - not for me!
It is daring scent! It makes you feel sexy and makes others think that there is sometihng sexy about you :) But never in a cheap way! It is also an intelligent perfume... There is something in it that helps me concentrating. I love to wear it for business meetings if I need to recollect my self-trust. And I love to wear it when I want to have a dazzling night :)
This scent just (ha, for lack of a better word) oozes confidence, but in a very inviting, sexy way. I love it. Definitely something to try before you buy, because it doesn't work on everybody, but on me I love the dark, sweet florals and the cream accords that accompany the woods. Perhaps a nighttime fragrance, but I wear it during the day when the weather is cooler.
When I first smelt this perfume on my skin, I had to get it because it was to me the perfect scent: creamy, deliciously sour-sweet, mysterious & very long-lasting. The smell reminds me of purple berries, cream, vanilla & something slightly sour with a heavy veil of of purple incense smoke encompassing it all. This combination gives it an entrancing effect that I love in perfumes. It is also very, very long lasting; you smell it the next day and and I think it stays for as long as you don't wash :)
However, that being said, I think my tastes in perfume have changed. I haven't worn Euphoria in a while but when I wore it recently, I think that it's still a good scent but there's something about it I don't find appealing now. It's maybe because it's sweetly creamy, smokey & yet anticipating something - something like a good musky or dark heavy woodsy-smokey finnish. Instead, you are stuck with an adolescent girly purple-berry creaminess with some smoke. It's uniqueness has been overshadowed for me by the fact that Euphoria has no depth; it leaves you desiring more.
I would love to try a scent that smells as creamy-sweet & sour smokey as Euphoria but has a bit more mature; let's say a heavier, more woody/earthy dry-down than a vanilla berry cookie left-over.
this perfume can smell ok on some and VERY bad on others. it is a VERY deep and almost masculine scent. not my taste.. but a lot of people love it.
I'm loving it. It was a love at first sniff and it still lasts.
Only - the bottle... I don't get it.
Isn't the cap just ridiculous? I just cannot tell what they were thinking when creating such a squared hewn looking cap sticking from the smooth, organic shaped bottle. It doesn't make any sense, does it?
Upon first spray on my skin, I got a ton of apple combined with a sour note; so at first, this *sort of* resembled
Signature Beckham for Her. But then, after about 5-10 minutes, that apple note dies down alittle so it's not so pungent, and *somehow* becomes a slightly marshmallow concoction w/ a sour note, turning it into something around the lines of Mariah Careys 'M', mixed with a sweet'n sour note. I have no idea what's in there that's making that marshmallow smell, but I DO smell it. I was never very fond of 'M', but now that I have this, I have a new appreciation for it. This is quite a sexy fragrance, and something that can most definitely be worn for evening.. Definitely one of my new favorites.
I came across Euphoria, when some girl wore it and it smelled just wonderful on her! Then I tried it, liked it, bought it... And now - I don't know, it seems to me it's common, ordinary floral scent. I hardly recognize it on my skin. Maybe it is just the problem of my pH :-(
m..some people here say that is not long lasting...i think it depends on type of skin..on my sking lingers for ever;it is strong, sexy, good for cold evenings it makes me feel sooo sexy..i think is one of my favourites perfumes i ever had and still weant to have
Smells good and all but it is a light weak scent with no staying power at all.I returned this because I am tired of scents that don't last.
It's a strange combination of Angel-like beggining and spicy-woody base. This smell is dark but not too much diffusion, very sophisicated and alluring. I prefer exatli this perfum among the line of Angel's clones.
This stuff is soooooooo freaking awesome! I got a little sample over 3 years ago and then recently i smelled it and fell in love! i seriously cant stop sniffing it every few minutes! But the thing that disappoints me is that it changed with my skin and turns into a sugar cookie kind of scent :( its still yummy but it isn't as good as it is from the bottle. It is a very strong, seductive smell that is mature without smelling old ladyish. I highly recommend and hope it doesn't change on you.
I tried and wore so many fragrances but Euphoria is by far my favorite one, I like its orienntal and flower notes. I feel the sexiest woman when I wear it. And all men share this opinion.
I absolutely love euphoria!! It's my everyday perfume. It is a mysterious and sophisticated scent, especially great for night. I've received many compliments while wearing it. I have to give props to my brother! ;) He gave euphoria to me as a birthday gift, about two years ago and I've loved it ever since.
Just bought it and love it...the dry down reminds me a lot of hypnose from Lancome, did anyone notice that too?
This is going to be a lengthy review so I'll just start by saying that I adore this perfume. Next, I'll say that if you've only ever smelled Euphoria on a test strip, you absolutely MUST try it on your skin, instead. I'm not sure why, but this one smells completely different on my skin than it does on paper!
I usually don't consider Calvin Klein perfumes to be anything special, mostly because they are ridiculously popular and, it seems, more advertised than any other department-store brand out there. I did fall in love with Obsession several years ago and went through several large bottles before realizing that it was lacking something and wasn't quite perfect for me. Having said that, Calvin Klein knows how to produce a great scent for a young person who wants to smell good but doesn't want to pay a fortune in the process. His perfumes last. And last. And last. And when you wake up the next morning, they're still there, haunting you, so it's a good thing that some of them are so enjoyable, such as Euphoria.
I tested Euphoria soon after it was released and was turned off by both the test strip and the strange bottle. Three or four years passed and I decided to revisit it, based on so many positive reviews, this time on my skin, and, Oh My! It's much sexier and so much more original than I remembered.
The top notes are dark and fruity; they remind me of Bath & Body Works' Midnight Pomegranate Body Spray. There's also a smoky, creamy vibe lingering beneath all of that luscious, grown-up fruit. My ex-husband's grandfather was a Swiss chef and he once made me a dessert that consisted of nothing more than fresh red and blue berries drizzled with rich vanilla cream. It was divine and this perfume reminds me very much of the simplicity and richness of that treat.
Don't lose interest if you're not a gourmand lover, however. There's more to Euphoria than berries and cream. There are floral notes that are so well-blended that they become a part of the dessert, expanding it and making it slightly less edible. I can't identify them, but you will smell hints of flowers which are deep and rich and that add just the right amount of abstraction.
The woody base of Euphoria is light and adds a lot of depth and mystery, but it's strong enough to keep the whole thing mature. It never really gives the floor to the red fruits, or cream, or florals. They all dance together perfectly and share the spotlight with one another, making sure no one steals the show after pomegranate announces the whole affair. It reminds me slightly of Alien, though it's more of a crowd-pleaser. It's also similar, in structure, to Flowerbomb, but heavier and darker.
It's as though Thierry Mugler's Angel, in all of her nineties garb, got a make-over and came out a new woman; updated and sophisticated and more sleek, while still maintaining that unique vibe that set her apart from the others of her time. Like the woman who wears Angel, the woman who wears Euphoria knows what she likes and she'll never apologize for treating herself to a scent that makes her happy, like it or not. But do go easy on this one; Mr. Klein made sure that a little bit of his perfume goes a long, long way.
Wow! This is a spicy, smoky, gorgeous perfume. At christmas I told everyone I knew that I had to have a bottle of it.My sister in law got it for me. I love how bold it is, and to me it has a peppery scent. If I want to be noticed this is the perfume I reach for. I always get a reaction.
Euphoria is very unique, which is what I liked about it! After a day of smelling dozens of perfumes to give to my sister for her birthday, I finally landed on Euphoria and it was perfect! It's a strong and confident smell, but still girly. To me, Euphoria is a scent that says, "I'm not trying hard to smell good, I just do."
Cool bottle too!
This by far is my favorite of all fragrances. The opening is a bit strong, but the dry down is amazing. It may be a bit too strong for some, but it smells amazing on my skin. The black violet, pomegranate, black orchid, mahogany wood, persimmon, and lotus blossom make this perfume a garden of yumminess. I always get compliments while wearing this. It's definitely my signature scent. This perfume is for the bold, confident and sexy and should be worn on special occasions and sultry nights. I was seduced by this fragrance upon my initial smell of it. It's so scintillating and seductive. I feel absolutely sexy when ever I wear it. It has that WOW factor and the staying power. What more can I say? It's sexiness in a bottle. Enough said!
I like this one. When I tried it at the counter it didn't seem too strong for me, so it's strength isn't a problem. It actually smelled kind of sexy IMHO. However, I told my mother-in-law that I wanted it....and WHAT A SURPRISE. She asked her husband to buy it for HER! = Well, my husband and I agreed that I wouldn't wear anything that she wore because he doesn't like the ones she wears. I think it's because she douses herself with it and so her perfume usually comes off really strong. But I would recommend that people try it. It's really quite nice. I get the floral, but it's not overly flowery (which I detest).
Ladies, get the biggest bottle you can afford because this fragrance is addictive!! Popular perfumes never really appeal to me because for one thing I don't want to smell like what everyone else is wearing at the moment, but it seems Euphoria is the exception. It's such a dreamy, romantic scent and to me just perfection in a bottle... Euphoria is also very sexy, feminine, and modern yet quite subtle and doesn't get overwhelming or "aggressive".
I really like the pomegranate, lotus, and orchid notes that this one has. And the design of the perfume bottle -- so modern and sleek! You can tell Euphoria is a huge hit for Calvin Klein as they have come out with so many editions of it: Euphoria Blossom, Crystal, Luminous Lustre, Spring Temptation, etc.
I'm running out of the bottle I have right now, better get some more to stock up lol I hope Euphoria will never be discontinued because I love it so much! "Live the dream". ;-)
Verdaderamente, este perfume me ha enamorado. Su fragancia es dulce, calida y mistariosa. Pero no es pesada y perdura 4 o 5 hs aprox. en mi piel. Realmente vale la pena.
When i saw the ad i wanted to try it immediately. I was a bit disappointed - it isn't what i expected. I like the scent but i have the feeling that something is missing in it. It's fruity sweet, warm, a bit oriental and strong.
when I wore it for the first time, I didn't like it. I was sick of it. I didn't want to wear it again. (I don't know why)
But I used it another time. and I liked it so much. Now it's one of my favorite.
So I suggest to try it out not once, but TWICE. (wink) you will love it.
ever since this perfume appeared, i wanted to have it in my collection. last year i've received it as a present from my dad (one of 100 ml) and i can say it's one of my favourite perfumes. very strong and lost lasting. i recommend it for special ocasions, not casual (nor office) and in cold seasons. i don't see how anyone could use this in summer...if you want to be seductive, you can't go wrong with euphoria.
I am not a big fan of Calvin Klein and I resisted about Euphoria as well because it was very synthetic on my skin.
But giving it one more chance, this warm, balanced sweet fragrance that simulates wine notes somehow is very interesting.
It isn't original at all... Black XS, Flowerbomb and others have the same personality.
I ended up having a bottle of Euphoria in my wardrobe for a very simple reason: it is very shimmering and optimistc. Very sweet and warm. It is a perfume that says it all in those days when you don't have what to say by youself. It is a happy and playful fragrance, very sexy.
I like to wear Euphoria when I have any event I am not excatly in the mood to go. Euphoria is my mood make up. It might not go excatly with my feelings, but simulates a classy and positive actitude even all I want is to be home wearing my pijamas. Euphoria makes a photoshop of that image. It is not a perfume that makes your mood change like LIght Blue, for example, but it is a perfect make up.
Despites, it is a very well done fragrance and men love it. You can't go wrong with it if you want to seduce.
Sweet, sexy and still distinguished.
I received a sample vial of this while purchasing a perfume for my sister and I sighed happily when I sprayed my wrist with it.
I don't really get loud and bold. Dreamy, sophisticated and seductive, yes! I adore the orchid in this. Even my mom went back for a second sniff. I really will have to purchase this, I think.
Unusual perfume,I can't detect the notes with my nose, they are quite united. The bad thing is that it doesn't suit my chemistry at all..Smells rather synthetic on me.
On the contrary I have a classmate that wears this every day . It suits her a lot and smells somewhat balsamic and sweet on her. But it's innapropriate for mornings, since it's very loud and dark. In my opinion it's for evening wear only.
Euphoria for women is fantastic! It's incredibly sexy and long lasting. It was exactly what I was looking for; a winter scent that is not too young nor too old.
This fragrance has a somewhat sweet yet strong and spicy feel to it. If smelt up-close it can be extremely overwhelming although from a distance the scent is soft, sweet and warm.
I'm not really a fan of the fruity top notes, however I really love the heart of Euphoria. I agree with other reviewers that felt that this fragrance was slightly masculine. I think this is because of the woodsy notes in the drydown.
I would sum-up this scent as being quite edgy, mysterious and modern. It's definitely something you should try before you buy, because this may not appeal to everyone.
It's strong and so sweet, i bought this coz it's unique, and it has a modern bottle.
While Euphoria doesn't smell bad AT ALL, to me it is just way too much. Everything about it is strong- it is SO sweet and also SO woodsy- the two are just so overbearing. I could have sworn that it had a lot of patchouli in it, but I guess I was smelling the mahogany? If Euphoria was toned down, it would be so much better- there is just too much going on for me. Also, because this is super woodsy and also sweet at the same time, my allergies started acting up. I could also see how this could be headache inducing. Def. try and wear before you buy. Gorgeous bottle and ads though!
haha, i got a free dupe of this today off of the street, and surprisingly? i kinda like it. it's floral and it's tart. yum. :)
Quite lovely, a bit sharp in the bite at first. Softens later on the skin. Rich, still has a twang, sort of up and go without being green, but not for everyday, especially not with a sore throat.
I like this one is a strong but very nice perfume,is not for very young ladies because is strong and mature(a little bit masculine) but really really nice. i love it. :)
i really love this smell although i dont think its as strong as some people say it to be... i spray it on my clothes as it seems to last longer on them... my boyfriend loves it.. i love it.. its all good:)
The first day I tried this I got whiffs of it all day and had to go back to buy. I made a wise decision. It is beautiful and, on my skin, dries down to a sweet, subdued musk with some flower.. smells like vanilla, but it doesn't seem to have vanilla, so I'm not sure what it is.
I get many compliments on it when I wear it, from both men and women, but the scent only lasts for about 2 hours on me. :-/
I read all these reviews that it is a strong scent. Well, I sprayed it to my wrist and it was somehow tuned down smell (you know like volume)though it's long lasting. It's very nice, reminded me of Dior Addict. I love it. I'll have to try it again.
Now tried it again (and sprayed more) and it is absolutely Euphoria! As I'm very familiar with this emotion I for sure want this scent. Very sexy one! I feel I will have to buy big bottle, because I'll use this a lot. (And it's kinda expensive)
Strong one, this one! On me it opens fruity with berries, then very quickly moves on to a soft, barely noticable vanilla and strong patchouli. It's very loud at this point and it stays like this for several hours. When it finally dries down it leaves a nice, woodsy scent.
Euphoria is a great scent and it will definitely get you noticed. Just be sure not to use too much or you'll regret it!
Very longlasting.
Men go crazy about this scent and it's not difficult to guess why - it is creamy and thick and declicious. It is bold and seductive and at the same time also very feminine and sophisticated.
For the first time today i tried this fragrance, i realy wanted to love Euphoria just by reading all these wonderful reviews, but it's tooo strong and realy masculine for me. What is that strong scent ( Mahogany, violet ), please a would like to know :)
Very long lasting and spicy. I'm not heavily into oriental scents so I'm not thrilled with it. Rather masculine in my opinion, and I can't see how anyone could find it sweet or creamy.
I love this one, it is longing and sensual, but friendly too.
It's weird - the very first time I tried this scent, I didn't think I liked it. However, the next day I tried it again so my husband could sniff it, and I liked it much better - and so did he! It has such a strong woodsy scent to it, and the amber dry-down is long and lingering. It's just lovely. I bought a big bottle for myself for my birthday this summer (after having a sample tester and a mini), so now I have 3 sizes - I can take a smaller one to work or wherever with me, if I want, for touch-ups! I've already used probably a third of the bottle in just 5 months ... I love this stuff!
I'm an optician, and my Calvin Klein sales rep wears this scent all the time. She smells wonderfully yummy!!!
This is one gorgeous scent.It is the first one I bought based solely on reviews and I don't regret it at all.It is a seductive scent that dries down to a creamy sweet.Its perfect for a strong women who knows what she wants ;)
I tried it today. I couldn't trace anything oriental in this scent. Smelled (and unfortunately stil smells) on my skin as some vanilla yogurt. Weir scent I don't mind to live without.
Very sweet and lovely too.It not hav pineapple note, but i can smeell this.
Luved it the day my mother and I first tested it at the perfume shop! Monies were saved up just 2 buy this perfume. I now alternate between this and Very Irresistable(depending on where I'm going/occasion)... It's definately a bold and sophisticated fragrance.
this was my first CK perfume ever bought; it was one year ago..i can say good timing because i believe this is a cold weather appropriate perfume; it`s sweet and soft and it lasts long time on skin.i have a small bottle but still going on since last winter i love this one
I am so sorry, I can't wear it at work, cos it is soooo intensive and long lasting!!! It is gonna be my next buying (maybe), I am still vacillating between it and Very Irresistible for the coming winter.
I can easily understand while this oen is so popular. Even today when I was in the perfume store two women were buying it at the same time.
It has got a character, it is easily recognisable, unlike many other fragrances. I love the spicy notes in it, making it a bit, but not too much masculine.
It is a very long lasting one as well- if I use it before I go out in the evening, in the morning I can still smell a faint memory of the night on my pillow...
My truly no 1. I get compliments each time i wear it. My husband loved it from night no 1. he still says that my perfume turned him on the 1st night we met:) elegant and powdery finish!!
A big, proud, and wonderfully loud fragrance. I love a perfume that makes a statement and not in an intrusive way but rather in a confident, sexy, and warm way. This one does just that. It's deep and womanly and its staying power is excellent. A little goes a long way but I find that to be true with nearly all of CK's perfumes. Can't wait to wear it as the weather gets colder.
absolutely one of my regular favorites- the warm, sexy scent lingers all day and night- i can smell it on my clothes for days... defintely a delicious oriental spice that attracts.
IN MY OPINION "EUPHORIA"IS A VERY STRONG PERFUME.I LIKE IT BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE SMELLING IT,THERE IS A SCENT OF....MYSTERY.SENSUAL AND PROMISING.
I am solutely love this perfume. It lasts so long on me and yes it makes one very mysterious & highly self confident!!! CK knows his fragrances and this one just took the cake!!
The name is totally suitable for this fragrance. It's kind of unique, sensual and sexy. I think pomegranate's note does such "a big deal" for this fragrance success. Man always asking what I am wearing and I get complemented many-many times for my "royal" taste for parfumes as I choose "Euphoria"
In the beginning i smell it "delicious" and luscious...Love the seductive smell of black orchid and lotus...They give the perfume a sensual and seductive touch which ends in warm and deep base ... The woman who wears it is self-confident of her effect on men, she is mysterious and hides secrets behind her deep eyes...One of my faves !!!
I adore Euphoria and my only wish is that it would last longer... :( It disappears too quickly which is such a shame because I get so many compliments when I wear it but I am continually having to spritz up during the day. The shower gel and body lotion are my weapons to attack the disappearing act. Very unusual and unique. Will always have a bottle of this in my collection.
i love it its very fruity and smells vanilla in it
This perfume is one that always gets noticed, it's dark and intense and lovely. One of my favourites.
once when i was in a restaurant the waitress kindly asked what kind of perfume was i wearing..then a friend of mine, then another one..people notice the strong,but unique smell of euphoria..i kind of fancy it myself..still i`m a seeker of new fragrances;)
Starts off like a lightened up Angel, moves through a chemical melonny phase somewhat like Prada by Prada (which turns my stomach). It seemed to be heading somewhere slighty creamy/spicy when I scrubbed it after about 30 minutes.
I love this fragrance !!
My sister has it & I occasionally wear it from her..I hope I'll get one for myself oneday, LOL :D
I love the Video AD, it expresses the fragrance in a very good way & when you put it on , you feel like, you're in an amazing dream.. I simply love it!!
So rich and creamy, but it has to match your taste
An absolute must have! Though not actually a fan of strong scents, this is by far my favourite perfume! It's so sensual and lasts for ages...
I love it! One of my favourite perfumes. (Not for summer days.)
Love the bottle..love the scent..love it..love it.
I love this perfume, however : I think people either love it or hate it,nothing in between...
One of my all time favourite fragrances. It completely suits to my personality!
Too bad I just can´t use it anymore, cause the time that I used to use it was the most depressing time of my life, and the scent reminds me too much of it.
But the fragrance itself is just awesome!
i have a few samples of it, but i dont wear it, it doesent fit me somehow, i like it on others though, when i smell it on someone i wonder what this pleasant smell could be, then i realize:), so maybe it doesent fit my personality, or it should be smelled from far away.
I think it's definitely a women's fragrance, but I wouldn't buy the whole bottle. A sample would be enough because it's so strong.
I agree that this perfume has something on certain people. I first smelled this on a coworker, and loved it. She happily showed me the lotion that she keeps in her purse for refreshing. So, I ran out to try it on myself. It had NOTHING of the same smell on me. At all. Even after drying down. 'Was quite disappointed. But, I do believe in the skin chemistry thing. I've seen it time and time again.
If this perfume doesn't work well on you, then perhaps you have the wrong chemistry. On me it smells delightful. The only other perfume that has earned as many compliments for me has been Angel.
TOTAL EUPHORIA! I am loving this scent. The pomegranate, persimmon (yummy), amber, black orchid and amber are the strongest notes on me. Euphoria is sooo creamy; think heavy cream with persimmons and pomegranates. Sensual and very chic. This is by no means a man's perfume. This is all about a confident woman. Euphoria isn't for the princess, it's for the queen!
At first Euphoria smelled exactly like Hugo Boss' Deep Red with a touch of synthetic (think RL's Glamourous). Then after it warms on the skin for about 15 minutes the creamy and sexy fruit & floral woods notes come into play. My husband LOVED this and asked me to wear this more! Oh, and on me Euphoria is very long lasting.
Euphoria won the FIFI Award for 2005 Women's Fragrance!
i love this one it remandes me on purple...
I love this fragrance... very spice and oriental and smells awesome on other people but it is not a sublte scent... it is bold and demands attention. I prefer Blossom, it isn't a twin of Euphoria but more like a more sensual,softer cousin. Euphoria is just to strong for me.
I really wanted to like this. However, it smells rather strong and masculine. Nothing about it smells as sophisticated or feminine as it appears.
