Calvin Klein Eternity Summer 2012 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Pascal Gaurin. Eternity Summer 2012 opens with Gin, Bergamot, Orange Blossom, and Pear, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Peony, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Heliotrope, and Tonka Bean. Calvin Klein's Eternity Summer 2012 carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This Summer edition is a bit of a mixed bag. Some find it a pleasant, fresh floral, but a noticeable "sharp-and-stingy" phase puts others off. It's a nice easy reach if it works with your skin chemistry, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its fresh, light floral character and reports of moderate longevity make it suitable for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. The lack of strong sillage or depth reduces its suitability for formal events or a romantic date.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and a juicy pear, brightened by the delicate sweetness of orange blossom, with a hint of something a bit boozy, like gin. The heart unfurls into a clean floral bouquet, dominated by hyacinth and gardenia, with peony adding a soft touch. The drydown settles into a gentle musk, softened by the warm, powdery nuances of heliotrope and tonka bean, avoiding overtly sweet vanilla.
