Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009 by Calvin Klein, Eternity For Men Summer 2009 is a blend of aromatic and citrus notes that embodies the essence of summer freshness. This fragrance opens with lime and gin, creating an invigorating and zesty top layer that feels like a refreshing splash on a warm day. The heart introduces bergamot and chamomile, softening into a subtle herbal warmth, while basil adds a green undertone. The base notes of pepper, star anise, amber, and hinoki wood ground the composition with a spicy and woody depth.
Apply this fragrance in two moderate sprays. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, so the spicy and woody base will carry you through the day. It’s best suited for daytime wear when its fresh and aromatic character shines brightest.
