Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Initial sniffs might scream "church incense", but give it time and you'll find a smoky, resinous amber that's surprisingly wearable. It's divisive, for sure - some find it too mature or fleeting, others call it Jo Malone's best.
