The story behind the bottle.
Eternity Summer 2008, crafted by Pascal Gaurin and Yves Cassar for Calvin Klein, was launched in 2008 as a refreshing departure from the brand’s classic minimalism. The fragrance opens with mandarin orange and basil, creating a bright, fresh spicy accord that feels like a burst of summer energy. At its heart, lily-of-the-valley and jasmine mingle with neroli to evoke a sunlit garden, while ginger adds an unexpected warmth. The base notes of bamboo, iris, and musk ground the composition in a woody, powdery comfort.
This fragrance has a quick-blooming top note, so apply it liberally to ensure you catch its initial burst. The base notes settle in after about an hour, making this ideal for daytime wear when the warmth of ginger complements the midday sun.
