Eternity for Men
Eternity for Men by Calvin Klein is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 1989 in the budget price tier. It opens with lavender, mandarin and bergamot, moves into lily of the valley, jasmine and sage and dries down to sandalwood, musk and amber. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
