Eternity For Men Summer 2005
The crisp energy of an early afternoon at a city park — where watermelon's sweetness meets the greenery of galbanum, followed by the grounding warmth of patchouli and cedar.

The story behind the bottle.
Eternity For Men Summer 2005 was launched in 2005 by Calvin Klein and crafted by perfumers Clement Gavarry, Jean-Marc Chaillan, and Carlos Benaïm. This aromatic fougere fragrance opens with a vibrant watermelon note, blending seamlessly into the fresh greenery of galbanum and the spicy warmth of coriander. The heart introduces a delicate lily-of-the-valley, balanced by star anise's subtle spiciness, creating a harmonious contrast between freshness and warmth. The base notes of patchouli, musk, red amber, and cedar ground the composition with earthy richness, making it a versatile summer scent.
This fragrance blooms best with two sprays to allow the top notes to introduce themselves before settling into the deeper base. It’s perfect for daytime wear, as the fresh opening fades within an hour but leaves a lingering woody depth.
