Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a straight-up lemon vanilla gourmand that skips the cloying sweetness, Cup Cake is a decent, affordable option. It's a comforting scent, if a bit simple, but don't expect a nuanced bakery experience.
Calvin Klein's Eternity Amber Essence for Men is a potent, warm amber delight that has managed to break free from the brand's usual clean-cut image. It's divisive for some, but a surprising win for many, especially at discounters. This is not your daddy's Eternity.
