Eternity Purple Orchid

Which Should You Buy?
Forever Violet chases Calvin Klein Eternity Purple Orchid's watery fruity-floral and lands the candied plum-and-peach heart well. It reads flatter and a touch more synthetic than the original, but the soft, soapy orchid haze is convincingly there for a budget bottle.
This discontinued gem is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but fans will go to great lengths to restock this unique purple floral. If you can get past the divisive opening and find it works with your skin's chemistry, you'll be treated to a soft, lingering scent that draws compliments.
