In 2020, I bought some tester bottles of C.K. "Eternity EDP" for a good price. If you're looking for something which is similar to the better formulation of the EDT, then I recommend the EDP. I'm interested to try this new flanker from the line, but I'll probably just sample it. I'm sorry to hear that it was disappointing; it might get better with age after the initial spray.

Sebastian, I recently brought first year bottles of Obsession and Eternity both on splash bottles. I, like you, wore Eternity for years as a teen. I can’t wait to the real fall weather rolls in.
It looks like you may have missed the Eternity edp flanker. It compares to Greenley IMO with a strong apple opening and a rose leaning floral for the mid. It's probably discounted enough to take a chance on.
Hello Sebastián, how are you? Great job as usual. I wore Eternity for 20years. I love it back then . I have not worn since the late 90s. Thank you! Stay safe brother
I don't own too many fragrances of Calvin Klein. I do have an original bottle of CK- One and Euphoria Amber Gold. I enjoy the Amber Gold but i only paid short money from a rack store.
The edp by Pascal Gaurin is easily my favourite of the line. It's not even close. If I were to get only one, that'd be it. Add to that the middle eastern Euphoria "Gold" flankers and that about sums up the modern goodies from CK to me. Vintage Calvin and Obsession for Men are where it's at.
I love your honesty. I too loved Eternity in the 90s, men's & women's both, and of course CK One. They're excellent entry level fragrances, often found for a bargain 😊. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
Wow, after all these years they did an edp version. Great review Sebastian. It's disappointing when an iconic fragrance is used for it's legacy to launch a substandard product for big $$
I also went through Obsession in the late eighties (along with the 'Calvin' release) as well as Eternity in 1990 - those wonderful commercials. I loved their fragrances back then. Beautiful scents. Incredible memories. Really evocative. Those first three fragrances were the best they ever produced. Calvin Klein was a big deal back then. I still have two bottles of the vintage formulation.
@@ThePerfumeGuy yeah it was reissued in 1999. The original was discontinued to make room for the launch of Eternity- although there was some overlap. You could still find it easily until around 1992.
yes, it is unbelievable they "market" these fragrances as "perfum" when in fact they just are NOT. Unreal. I would return it back to Macys'.....ive done that before with fragrances that were shams.
I have to recognize Calvin Klein as the brand that got me into fragrances. As a teen in the 90s, CK One was the first fragrance I ever purchased on my own. I also loved CK Be, Escape, and Obsession. It is a shame how bad the entire line has become since Coty took over. I repurchased a couple about a year ago and was greatly disappointed. They used to be one of the best houses and now they are a laughing stock. Thankfully I still have two vintage bottles that were manufactured by Calvin Klein Cosmetics in New York: a 1994 bottle of CK One with about 25-30 ml left, and a 1995 bottle of Obsession with about 80ml left.
For me, this smelled like a weird vanilla coconut. I received 2 carded samples from my contact at Macy's and testing this fragrance about 3 times now, it just isn't good. I truly believe that Parfum has become a marketing ploy for all designer houses.
Thanks for the review. I really wish CK would make a real effort and raise their game. One of my first fragrances was Eternity EDT and I absolutely loved it. I'll know to avoid the Parfum.
If you sprayed the original formula in the AM you'll still smell it in the evening after taking a shower mid day and playing basketball in the afternoon. I always associate Eternity with Basil Mandarin Lavender and vetiver. Disappointed 😞
I agree with you completely about this fragrance. The attendant at the Macy’s counter raved about it, but I feel that the big dept store fragrances generally smell uninspired and derivative. Imaginary Authors basically destroyed the mass market fragrance game for me and I only sporadically look back.
The original eternity was awesome It was one of the best smells when it came out How are you gonna knock thatI bought a bottle when I waseventeen and I bought a bottle when I'm 44 It still smells good I'm interested in this one though
I was impressed with Drakkar Noir years ago because it was so strong and so very different than most colognes. Do you recommend a long lasting stronger cologne that is very different than most? Preferably eau de parfum or higher. Thanks anyone who makes a recommendation!!!
I wish I had watched this video before I bought it. I just bought some this Father’s Day weekend. I wore it to church but was disappointed. You expressed some of the same views I felt and feel.
There's a note in most mens Designer fragrances that smells to me like burning plastic or something. Something really, really off and astringent (but strong)... I feel like others must smell it differently than me.
Calvin Klein fragrances are very basic, not photo-realistic (let's not say synthetic) and poor performing. Uber heavy discounted, but that's not an excuse for the lacklustre package, as Lalique, Bentley and Boucheron have similar discounted prices and are the exact opposites. Kids, buy Lalique Encre Noire A L'Extreme, Bentley For Men Intense and/or Boucheron Jaipur EDP instead of this one. Cheers!
Hey Goldman. Did you try "Euphoria Liquid Gold for Men"? That one is good too, but I like "Euphoria Amber Gold for Men" more than it, though. "E.L.G." is similar to both "Costume National Homme EDP" and Tumi "Continuum".
Bro, you judge every Parfum concentration that you get up against Dior Homme Parfum. You can't do that. DHP is lightning in a bottle. It's probably one of the heaviest Parfums ever made. Not every Parfum you smell is gonna be in the same ballpark. You tore the new Code Parfum to shreds and it's a great fragrance. Stop having your expectations so high please.
Oh wow. Don’t mess with Sebastian, kids. He is not kidding around. If you come out of the gate with the tone and the aspersions . . . well, maybe just don’t . . . bro. 😉
99 bucks for a CK fragrance. How times have changed. I only ever enjoyed euphoria by CK (womens version). My mom always loved the original eternity for women. This house is nothing special. Some good ones, but not many.
I really like CK Eternity EDP… So was excited about the Parfum, until I saw the notes. Then when I smelled it… It was not at all what I would have expected Eternity Parfum to be.. I bought the 2022 Summer Daze Eternity flanker.. just a cheapie for shits and giggles.. This smelled more like a Parfum version of that flanker then the original Eternity. If you haven’t picked up the EDP version… That is much nicer and closer to the og… Just slightly modernized and deep, denser, etc…
I am not surprised, I don't expect much from stream line designer fragrances, and Alberto Morillas has been disappointing me for a while now even in his Mizensir line.
What’s happening brother. Just curious what your take is on the EDP vs the PARFUM Also on a side note would it be possible to make a vid on the difference between polo red EDP vs PARFUM also please.
@@ThePerfumeGuy right on, I have polo red EDP and edt and they both smells real nice but I just recently discovered that there is a polo red parfum. Was wondering if there was a way to compare all three on one video

Eternity started me on my fragrance journey. It a shame they watered it down because even though it's dated it would still hold it's own.

The Summer 2019 is ok.
The EDP is actually nice… I think you might like it. It’s better then any others that I can think of.

I got recommended Euphoria Amber too, and it's excellent. Big yes. Definitely a stand out blind buy for me.

Well they have an edp and this is parfum. The edp is closer to the original 👍

Oh yes that Calvin I wore to but late 90s was a reissue right? It was so damn good.

EDP is stellar🍃
This parfum does badly on first impressions but give it some time. It impressed me. Good performance on my skin.
Great first impressions video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

Love the Eternity EDP
Me and my dad.
Basically original with apple
But nice
I loved Eternity in the early 90’s, but it never hold on my skin. Kept spraying and spraying.
Thanks for the video…. The new Calvin Klein: would you point the finger toward Calvin or Alberto? Thanks again.
For me, this smelled like a weird vanilla coconut. I received 2 carded samples from my contact at Macy's and testing this fragrance about 3 times now, it just isn't good. I truly believe that Parfum has become a marketing ploy for all designer houses.

And Calvin Klein reveal is a nice fragrance
If you sprayed the original formula in the AM you'll still smell it in the evening after taking a shower mid day and playing basketball in the afternoon. I always associate Eternity with Basil Mandarin Lavender and vetiver. Disappointed 😞
When I think of current CK frags I think of weak and thin. I expect maybe 1 hr of performance.
Get the edp you will be pleasently surprised..
Azzaro fragrances blows Coty out of the water.....lol....I would even compare them.....I'd take Azzaro anytime plus last forever lol
Thank you for the video. Would really enjoy hearing your thoughts on the green EDP.
Have you tried CK One Shock for him? That one is great and super cheap. I absolutely recommend it.

I enjoy eternity edp,the performance is average but it’s a better version of the original
I have never tried Eternity yet but I have the opportunity to buy an old one that has never been opened. And I'm curious to smell the source
ETERNITY COLOGNES ARE TIMELESS
the occasions that I have purchased CK. no more..... why ? as they ALL have no legs. They do not last. Hence as to WHY they are sooooooo inexpensive.
I wish I had watched this video before I bought it. I just bought some this Father’s Day weekend. I wore it to church but was disappointed. You expressed some of the same views I felt and feel.
Oh bummer. It's quite disappointing for sure.
What would you recommend as a substitute for the original Eternity? Thanks.

I hate Boucheron "Jaipur EDP": I'd probably prefer any C.K. fragrance over it.
It seems the only modern release from CK that's actually good is Euphoria Amber Gold. So glad I got a backup. It's no where to be found now.

@@regismonkton Never tried that one, I'll be on the lookout for it. I love Amber Gold because it has that middle eastern vibe.
My first Calvin Klein fragrance was Obsession for women 1985. Calvin Klein fragrances were great in those days. 😊

Summer Daze is nice !
Since the '90s..when I was in hi school days .. and I'm not a fan of Calvin Klein !.. clothes or even fragrances .. it's very public taste !..
You've got to try Eternity EDP it's just like the original formulation.
I agree that the EDP is a good one, and, in 2020, I got 3.4 oz. size tester bottles of it for only about $25 each.
I wasn't really impressed by the EDP
@@Blazntrax81 you really gotta wear it while listening to Ace of Base.
Once my girlfriend smelled it on me, all that she wants is another baby. But she'll be gone tomorrow!
I even tried to leave, and she told me "don't turn around!"
You should try St DuPont signature the best amber fragrance
The EDP from the Eternity range is pretty good. I agree with your opinion on this one though,its pretty poor,
It's a bummer. I'll check the EDP soon if I can get my nose on it! :)
I would not dare spend that kind of $ on CK fragrances!
I like their Eternity Summer editions.
I am not surprised, I don't expect much from stream line designer fragrances, and Alberto Morillas has been disappointing me for a while now even in his Mizensir line.
Enjoyed Sébastien
I have a new bottle of the edt made in Germany and its anything but watered down.
Thank very much !
Eternity Aeromatic is Brand New
I like the original eternity, and the first Calvin Klein “Calvin”
I'd stick with the Euphoria line, I'm never disappointed.
Im first, im excited!
I’m second! Lol.
I was in Macy's looking at spice bomb extreme the new azaro most wanted par farm And this eternity It was hard for me to choose the one to buy
What’s happening brother. Just curious what your take is on the EDP vs the PARFUM
Also on a side note would it be possible to make a vid on the difference between polo red EDP vs PARFUM also please.
I haven't tried the Polo Red Parfum yet.
@@ThePerfumeGuy right on, I have polo red EDP and edt and they both smells real nice but I just recently discovered that there is a polo red parfum. Was wondering if there was a way to compare all three on one video
To me it smelled like a casual generic manly fragrance. Not bad
Coty? Oh dear. That's disappointing.
Great Video!
Thanks for sharing your video I’m not surprised about the smell take care big disappointment 😩😩take care😇
Thank you! You too!
Thank you
It's horrible. I bought it by accident thinking it was the original which I've been wearing for decades. 😡
You can tell by his expressions how disappointed he really is. This is me sometimes.
I prefer Eternity EDP
I need to sample this.
wasn't there a bigger bottle?
That's the smallest bottle they had!
@@ThePerfumeGuy 😂
I'll take the 1000mL bottle please! ;)
Not a Klein fan. Fragrances never impressed me.
coty ruins everything
I don't see you as a CK guy.
👍👍👍💯💯💯
You should sell all these blind buy failures.
It's a warmer scent You're too quick to knock it
The end of perfumery! :(
Calvin Klein Basic b***h scent
