The sun-drenched patio of a city rooftop — where litchi meets magnolia and the air is filled with the mingling scents of fruit, flowers, and warm musk.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009, Eternity Summer 2009 by Calvin Klein is a floral and fruity scent that captures the essence of a warm summer day. The fragrance opens with litchi and ginger, bringing a burst of freshness and zest. This gives way to magnolia and mimosa, creating a soft and powdery heart that's both delicate and inviting. The base notes of musk, cedar, and tonka bean add depth and warmth, grounding the composition in a subtle yet enduring presence.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for a balanced presence throughout the day. The citrus and ginger top notes are bright but dissipate within an hour, so rely on the powdery floral heart to carry the scent through the afternoon.
