good value, long lasting
I know this was mentioned in my other Calvin Klein perfume review but i will mention it again incase you have not read it.
Calvin Richard Klein was born November 19, 1942 and is a well-known American fashion designer. His name is also a brand name of clothing marketed by his company, which was launched in 1968.
Calvin Klein was also the first person that made a perfume that could be worn, by both male and females.
Eternity is one of the most famous perfumes in the world. It was introduced in 1988 by Calvin Klein.
Eternity won an award for the Most Successful Women’s Fragrance at the 1989 FiFi Awards. The masculine version of this fragrance was launched in 1989.
THE BOTTLE AND PACKAGING
The box is white with silver writing across it, the box is a very simple design, with little writing on just the name of the perfume and how many mls is in the bottle.
The bottle is also a simple clear glass bottle, with eternity wrote at the top, and Calvin Klein wrote at the bottle. This has a silver lid, that pushes down in the centre. This is made of plastic, which i find abit off putting. As i do like to wear perfume day and nightt, i often keep my perfume in my handbag.
With the lid been plastic, the side of it snapped off, i could still use the perfume, but with great difficulty. I think this did spoil my opionion of this perfume slightly, and i feel maybe it should be made of metal, so it is more enduring.
PRICING
Now once again i bought this from fragrancedirect.co.uk, the perfumes are really cheap there and of great quality. i bought this 100ml bottle for just £24.99p. It is well worth the money, and i would purchase again. The RRP on this is around £45, but you can always get it cheaper if you shop around.
THE SMELL
Timeless yet modern, Calvin Klein Eternity is light and airy, and is
Inspired by the ideal of lasting love and intimacy, this is a romantic floral fragrance is a unique combination of timelessness and beauty.
The smell is quite sweet and very flowery smelling, which i love. Also with this perfume been Eau De Parfume, does last quite a while, i only use a few squirts a day. I would prefer to pay that bit extra for a perfume, that does actually stay on rather than using three times as much trying to keep the scent on.
HEALTH ISSUES
Some perfume ingredients can cause health problems. Evidence in peer-reviewed journals shows that some fragrances can cause asthmatic reactions.
Many fragrance ingredients can also cause allergic skin reactions. Depending on your skin type, and if your allergic to products that are in the perfume.
There is scientific evidence that some of the common ingredients, like certain synthetic musks, can disrupt the balance of hormones in the human body ,and may even cause cancer.
WHY WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS PERFUME
I would say to go out and buy this perfume, as it really does last ages, and the smell is so sweet and lovely. As i said i also got this perfume at nearly half the recommended retail price, so i got a good bargain. I would have once i tried it, paid the full RRP as it is a good buy.
I also like this perfume as it is for daytime wear or night time wear.

A simple, but lovely scent
My Calvin Klein Eternity scent came in a 30ml clear bottle, with a very simple rectangular design, and a silver stopper which put me in mind of a key and lock.
The presentation box also follows a simple theme, and is white with silver lettering. It cost me £16.90, which is actually quite reasonable for this brand at this smaller amount.

I was attracted to the basic design of this perfume. I find that a great deal of manufacturers try to embellish their products with lavish and overdone boxes, as though they are attempting to persuade you, without a doubt, that within them lies a heady cocktail that will smother your senses.
Personally, I prefer subtelty, and I instinctively reach out for the plainer packaged perfumes, as they promise a rather more gentle scent with which to enveloppe yourself.
The price I paid was good. Just because perfumes tend to be expensive, it doesn`t mean you can`t shop around. Some of the stores we may associate with the words `cheaper` and `bargain` may actually surprise from time to time.
>>>>>>>>>>
Apparently Eternity was born of an inspiration surrounding `lasting love and `intimacy`, and I have to agree that the fragrance certainly blossoms in terms of romantic aroma, as it suggests a combination of potent wild flowers, and a lighter scent of fruits. Exotic fruits such as mango and guava, perhaps even a hint of passion fruit.
It has what I would deem a classic perfume, maybe a little old fashioned, but definately attractive and fresh.
If you apply it as the experts recommend (spray in front of you and lean forward to catch the drops), then it will surround you with a gentle, flowery perfume that won`t bite the nostrils. Applying it directly onto the skin causes it to concentrate in a specific place, and this can make scents hang heavy. You want the fragrance to dance around you, not suffocate everyone within 20 feet.
>>>>>>>>>>
This particular perfume is one of my favourites. I wear it during the day, as it`s subtle smell lasts throughout, without fading too quickly or abruptly.
It isn`t a heavy aroma to deal with, nor overpowering or suggestive of having bathed in it at the slightest spray. In short, it adds a distinctive, but soothing fragrance which is perfect for the coming summer. Infact, I would say this is definately a summer scent.
If you ever get the chance to test some, then do so as I guarantee you will love it.
>>>>>>>>>>
There has been some speculation about Eternity. A study apparently showed that it contained ingredients which caused breathing difficulties, amongst other problems. I won`t begin a debate on this issue, but I will say that I have had no problems, and I wear it almost daily. I thought I ought to let you know what I had read about this particular CK scent.
>>>>>>>>>>
If you aren`t too heavy handed with perfumes, then 30ml should last for a reasonable amount of time, even if you like to indulge every day. This is a simple, floral fragrance, with classic overtones, and fruity undertones, which shouldn`t be overlooked. But shop around, as there are bargains to be had.
CK perfumes for women have been around since 1988 and have always been the best in my opinion. Now judge for yourself.
