I tried out this fragrance after receiving a sample from Influenster. Being familiar with other Calvin Klein fragrances, I wasn’t too hype to try this out because frankly they all smell pretty generic and forgettable, but this one is different. This goes in a completely and total opposite direction when compared to the original Eternity DNA. It starts off warm, dark, a bit spicy and slightly boozy. You get a whiff of spicy lavender, a hint of a rum accord, and an amber/vanilla base with a hint of what it seems like to be woods. 100% is a unisex fragrance, leaning masculine ever so slightly. It’s not a loud fragrance at all, sits closer to your skin. It’s a more intimate fragrance, inviting whoever is in your bubble to come a bit closer. Definitely should be worn in ... MoreI tried out this fragrance after receiving a sample from Influenster.

Definitely should be worn in the fall or winter, maybe even as a date fragrance or at night when getting cozy with your significant other. Could get a bit cloying if worn in high heat. Overall, it’s a nice scent, but would wait til it hits discounters. Would not purchase at retail price point. Scent - 7.5/10 Projection - 6/10 Price - 5/10 Overall - 6.5/10

The Calvin Klein Eternity cologne was very popular back in the days. I’m actually surprised they came up with a parfum. I like the fragrance/aroma which reminds me of vanilla however, it is a mixture of vanilla and rum. I actually prefer a Parfum over eau de toilette because it is more potent in the way that it lasts longer on your body. I used the Parfum for three days straight in the mornings for work and it does stay on your skin for quite a while. My first initial thought when I sprayed it on was, “reminds me of amber” but I soon realized I didn’t know if amber was a scent. Well, turns out that amber is sensual, warm, and exotic. I think Amber would describe the scent of this parfum. It is warm and kind of takes me back to a time I spent in Paris walking down ... MoreThe Calvin Klein Eternity cologne was very popular back in the days.

I think Amber would describe the scent of this parfum. It is warm and kind of takes me back to a time I spent in Paris walking down the hotel hallways. It’s warm and somewhat sensual. I was a bit aware of the scent because it’s not my usual scent as I wear more of a citrus/fruity scents and more oil based fragrances. I like that this parfum doesn’t have a strong alcohol scent which adds to the classy feeling it gives. It does have more of a distinctive scent which does set it apart from all other colognes (parfums). While I appreciate the scent, it’s not really something I would wear daily - it seems to me that this should be more of “a night out” or “special occasion” Parfum. The Calvin Klein Eternity Parfum is definitely something you would like to keep in your fragrance collection. I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. *Incentivized*

So I’ll be blatantly honest here I have never been a fan of Eternity fragrances for men. Pretty much every previous release has either been so so, bad, or “GOOD FOR AN ETERNITY.” I was sent this sample of Eternity Parfum from Influenster as a sample to test and I can say this is probably the best Eternity Fragrance I have tried. With notes of rum and vanilla leading the way it was something I was not expecting. It’s a nice fragrance for the fall and winter and has this richness to it that a lot of people will like. Now with that said as a fragrance reviewer how does this stack up to other rich vanilla fragrances in the same category. Well it’s kind of middle of the road. It’s nice but it seems like something I have smelled before. It doesn’t project heavily it’s ... MoreSo I’ll be blatantly honest here I have never been a fan of Eternity fragrances for men.

It’s nice but it seems like something I have smelled before. It doesn’t project heavily it’s more of an intimate scent that gets very close to the skin after about 10-15 minutes. It does last about 7-8 hours on the skin but it’s not going to get you noticed unless you overspray. Again this is good but with all of the other similar fragrances out there like most wanted, Club black, noir extreme, and so on this doesn’t really stand out as one to buy above others. But I have to give it to CK they made me actually want to buy an eternity for my collection.

I received a 0.04 fl oz sample of this new Calvin Klein cologne from Influenster, in order to write an honest review. I do not normally enjoy Calvin Klein colognes and have not worn them for years, but I like this updated version of Eternity. For me, this cologne hits all the right notes - It is a warm fragrance with gourmand accords. The Vanilla scent is the star of the show, followed by a strong rum and then lavender smell. Combined, these scents create a fragrance that makes the wearer want to continue usage and those nearby draw closer, in order to experience the scent and discover what it is. This is a distinguished fragrance, which works just as well at work, for a night out, or special events. This cologne could easily become your signature scent, because it ... MoreI received a 0.04 fl oz sample of this new Calvin Klein cologne from Influenster, in order to write an honest review.

This is a distinguished fragrance, which works just as well at work, for a night out, or special events. This cologne could easily become your signature scent, because it is mass appealing and can be sprayed as lightly or heavily as you wish. This gives you the option of a lighter or stronger fragrance. In other words, this cologne is flexible and can be worn any time of day and night and for any occasion, depending upon the amount of cologne that you choose to spray. I highly recommend that you give this new Calvin Klein fragrance a try, especially if you enjoy warm fragrances. Eternity For Men Parfum does not disappoint.

I received the new Eternity for Men Parfum sample (1.5ml) to review. I know it states for men, but honestly this can be unisex. It may lean masculine at first but drys down nice for both. The notes and scent are nothing like the original and lacks the citrus notes. I am not sure why they kept the same name. The new parfum is more for Fall and Winter with strong notes of vanilla, lavender, rum (barely noticeable and fades), woody notes and is sweet. The vanilla is prominent right from first spray along with a hint of floral and booze. The rum dies down though where it becomes more powdery, floral, woody and soft. The vanilla stays throughout and is not overpowering. It definitely can be enjoyed as a unisex in my opinion. I was even told by a woman that she would wear ... MoreI received the new Eternity for Men Parfum sample (1.5ml) to review. I know it states for men, but honestly this can be unisex.

I would not wear it in summer or spring as it might get cloying unless it's a chilly night. It is a subtle and nice scent, possibly evening wear or for close encounters. It doesn't project strong and lasted 5 to 6 hours on my skin. You can fix this simply by overspraying to your liking though. I did get 2 compliments from women while wearing it. The sillage is average along with longevity and definitely not strong, but like I said just spray more. It is pleasant and nothing new and will make a good cold weather addition to your collection if you like vanilla, powdery, lavender and sweet. I did get whiffs on and off throught the day or in the air around me and liked the vanilla.

Calvin Klein Eternity Cologne Eau De Toilette 50Ml Spray

This is how far behind I am Paco Rabanne has already got Olympa Aqua on the perfume counters, and Im just getting around to reviewing the original Olympa. Ive actually had the sample for a bit, but its mostly just sat there, waiting while I reviewed other, more likely candidates. The folks over at Paco Rabanne have done a great job of keeping the brand relevant with the youth market, but have not shown much interest, so far, with the notyouth market, which of course includes me, and partly explains why the lack of interest is pretty much mutual. I did review Black XS For Her way back in 2007 but I skipped Lady Million altogether. Kevin, however, gamely reviewed Invictus ugly, he said, and I wholeheartedly concur, so here I go1with Olympa, the fragrance for the ... MoreThis is how far behind I am Paco Rabanne has already got Olympa Aqua on the perfume counters, and Im just getting around to reviewing the original Olympa.

The folks over at Paco Rabanne have done a great job of keeping the brand relevant with the youth market, but have not shown much interest, so far, with the notyouth market, which of course includes me, and partly explains why the lack of interest is pretty much mutual. I did review Black XS For Her way back in 2007 but I skipped Lady Million altogether. Kevin, however, gamely reviewed Invictus ugly, he said, and I wholeheartedly concur, so here I go1with Olympa, the fragrance for the modern day Cleopatra. As is so often the case with these big designer launches, it took a team of big name perfumers Loc Dong, Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion to put it together. Its advertised as a fresh oriental and as a a unique fusion between a sensual salted vanilla accord and refreshing floral notes,2 and thats all reasonably accurate. Olympa starts with a very juicy, very green citrus overlaid with a decent lashing of ginger. It announces its fresh orientation right out of the gate, with vague allusions to Glade and LEau dIssey, but its otherwise a nice enough start. It sweetens up as the top notes fade, with candied but watery floral notes and then creamy vanilla over a woody musk with salty solar undertones. It has a summery, almostbeachy feel neither caramel popcorn nor coconut are listed in the notes, but there are faint strains of either or both, and theres just enough powder to lend a velvety finish to the far dry down. Verdict Its just fine. Its reasonably wearable and reasonably pleasant if applied in moderation despite the fresh and watery notes, it is not really a sheer scent. Not surprisingly, I found it both too sweet and too synthetically fresh for my taste, and in general, it called up modern youth on spring break more than Cleopatra. Still, not bad, and a far cry better than Invictus. If you want something along the same lines, but maybe a little more sophisticated, you might try Calvin Klein Reveal. If you want more fruit and less fresh, you might try Thierry Mugler Womanity. Paco Rabanne Olympa is available in 30, 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum and in matching body products. I think there was originally an Extrait as well, but perhaps it is already sold out The notes include mandarin, ginger lily, aquatic accord, jasmine, vanilla, cashmere wood, sandalwood and ambergris.
