Calvin Klein 2016 EDP
Eternity Intense
Calvin Klein Eternity Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Eternity Intense opens with Bergamot, Iris, and Rain, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Calvin Klein's Eternity Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.
This flanker is a divisive one, described by some as a hidden gem and "niche quality", whilst others found it utterly unwearable. Its unique, unusual iris-heavy character is far removed from the original Eternity, making it a love-it-or-hate-it affair.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its moderate projection and unique, powdery iris character make it suitable for casual wear and dates, but perhaps too distinctive for some office environments. The less strong longevity also aids its versatility for daily use without being overpowering.
Declarable allergens
