Eternity For Men
by Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein Eternity For Men is a classic aromatic fougère that opens with bright citrus notes of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin orange, perfectly captured by the sharp, fresh lavender. The middle notes feature a green, herbal bouquet of basil, sage, and geranium, with subtle floral accents from jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The dry down is clean and skin-anchored, built on a subtly sweet, warm foundation of musk, vetiver, sandalwood, and Brazilian rosewood, creating a universally appealing yet non-intrusive scent. While not intensely long-lasting, it performs reasonably well for its class, projecting moderately and lasting up to 6 hours for most, with some noting it can be effective into the evening. The scent is widely seen as a timeless, clean sensory experience—evoking fresh dawns, crisp linens, or a quiet barber shop—reliable for warm weather and casual or professional settings. Its relevance endures for those drawn to 90s-era fragrances, providing comfort and a gentle sense of familiarity without being overwhelming.
