The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012, Eternity Summer 2012 by Calvin Klein is a Floral Fruity fragrance designed for women and crafted by perfumer Pascal Gaurin. This scent opens with the bright freshness of bergamot and pear, creating an immediate sense of lightness and vitality. The heart of African orange flower, hyacinth, peony, and gardenia adds layers of floral richness that are both delicate and vibrant. The base notes of musk, tonka bean, and heliotrope bring warmth and a subtle sweetness that grounds the composition.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The fresh citrus opening is bright but brief, so it's best not to layer heavily. The floral heart notes will bloom over time, making this fragrance ideal for daytime wear when you want a light, invigorating scent.
