The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2003 by Calvin Klein and crafted by perfumers Pascal Gaurin and Sophia Grojsman, Eternity Purple Orchid is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that encapsulates the brand's signature blend of elegance and minimalism. The composition opens with green notes and water lily, creating an impression of freshness and vitality. As it develops, floral and fruity accords like orchid, freesia, plum, and white peach give way to a warm base of woods, musk, and almond, grounding the fragrance in a comforting embrace.

How to wear it

Apply Eternity Purple Orchid lightly in the morning and let it develop on your skin throughout the day. The fruity and floral top notes are bright but fleeting, while the powdery and woody base notes provide lasting warmth. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear as it evolves into a more intimate scent.
