Which Should You Buy?
A big, unmistakable green floral from 1988. Carnation, lily of the valley and white lily sit over a powdery musk and heliotrope base. Cool, polished and very loud, so it suits wearers who want a classic, assertive floral and not a soft one.
No. 31 follows Calvin Klein's Eternity for Women into freesia-and-lily territory over a carnation heart and sandalwood-musk base, capturing the classic floral shape well. It's simpler than the real Eternity though, missing the mandarin-sage top and heliotrope-amber depth that give the original its more rounded, enduring character.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Freesia, green notes and lily give a crisp, cool floral that fits spring best. It still works in autumn, but it is too dense for hot weather and too cold for deep winter.
Occasions
Polished, powdery and very strong, so it reads as formal and daytime-professional. The large sillage is a drawback in close quarters, and it is too heavy for sport.
Seasons
A classic floral built on freesia, lily and sandalwood suits spring and autumn wear best, with enough softness for year-round use.
Occasions
Soft and dignified, this suits office wear and understated formal occasions well.
