By the editors · 2 min readEternity for Men opens with a crisp aromatic wash—lavender softened by citrus, immediately clean but not clinical. The herb garden accord that follows distinguishes it from sharper fougères of its era: sage and basil bring a greenish, slightly peppery warmth, while a cluster of white florals (jasmine, lily, orange blossom) adds an unexpected softness. This isn't the transparent, aquatic direction Calvin Klein would later pursue, but something more grounded and deliberate.
The base settles into sandalwood and amber with vetiver providing a dry, earthy counterpoint to the musk. The overall effect is polished without being severe—a barbershop sensibility refined for evening wear. It reads now as a bridge between the powerhouse masculines of the eighties and the cleaner aesthetic that would dominate the nineties, carrying elements of both without fully committing to either.
