Perfume Parlour Forever is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988. Forever opens with Green, Lemon, Mandarin, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Marigold, Rose, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's Forever carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Forever recreates the soft, powdery white-floral cloud that made Calvin Klein Eternity a timeless classic, with spicy carnation and lily front and centre. The original's masterful complexity reads a touch flatter here, but it captures that romantic, formal floral character on a budget.

About

Forever opens fresh and green - sage, freesia, mandarin and citrus - before unfurling into the powdery white-floral heart that defines Calvin Klein Eternity: spicy clove-like carnation supported by lily, lily of the valley, violet and jasmine. The base softens into powdery heliotrope, musk, sandalwood and amber for a clean, romantic finish. The original is a masterfully constructed floral with a deceptively clean reputation and a soft, slightly powdery cloud; this Perfume Parlour version reads recognisably similar but flatter and skin-closer, with the florals forward and the nuanced powdery-woody depth thinned out. Projection is moderate and longevity sits in the middle band. A classic, elegant powdery floral best suited to spring and cooler months for the office, formal occasions and everyday wear.
