Eternity Now For Women Calvin Klein perfume – a fragrance for women 2015

I remember being in Ulta when this first came out. Something compelled me to buy a small bottle right then and there that I kept in my slight rotation. It was never memorable enough that I felt the need to repurchase it though because I found my now nearly empty bottle at the bottom of a drawer recently. Maybe I felt that Eternity Now was too boring. Maybe I got caught up in wanting to explore bigger and better options. But now after that long neglected first spritz, it’s all coming back to me why I liked this so much.

Like a lot of people here are mentioning, this is a clean, fresh, sweet, salty, slightly aquatic scent. It’s very common and yet there is something that sets it apart from the multitude of scents in this category. I’ve never heard of a sorbet note in perfume before. It makes sense though. It starts saccharine and dries a little sour. The quince adds the zest and citrus. I really want to believe that I am an independent thinker but my opinion was swayed when I heard shampoo. Yes!!! This definitely has a sudsy, air-dried shampoo vibe. Think old school, rose hip Herbal Essences. I know that sounds generic especially considering how many options there are today but this had me wanting more. It was criminally affordable for a brand new 100 ml off of EBay. Longevity is surprisingly incredible. I could still smell this way after the standard five hour mark. Sillage is very quiet and intimate. It does become a skin scent. If there’s any fault I can find with this one, it would be that I wish that whatever note is bringing the saltiness was amplified and helped it to stay intact during the drydown. Not a big deal because this is still really delicious but that would really make a small improvement. It’s not overly sweet, cloying or in anyway obnoxious which can happen with fragrances like this. I often see the comparison of perfume to a cozy sweater or a white T-shirt. Likewise, Eternity Now would be that Lycra/spandex/viscose tee that knows your body and fits you like a second skin. You are wrapped in familiarity, comfort and cheerful optimism. Nothing exotic, of course. You might feel like it has run its course after a while but there’s still no denying that there is something a little soothingly special here that would compel you to come back every now and again. I am glad to have this in my collection again.
