Eternity

As he states, pure, simple, modern, that is what I do best. His first fragrance, Obsession, evokes all the sensuality and ardor of a woman given over to passion. In 1988, Calvin Klein unveiled Eternity. This one rode the wave of the 80s' return to family values. With Eternity, Calvin Klein reaffirmed important values such as fidelity and marriage.

Eternity, a beautiful love story

In 1986, Calvin Klein married the photographer Kelly Rector. On this occasion, he gave her a ring he had acquired at auction. A diamond ring engraved on the inside with Eternity. It later turned out that this ring was none other than the one the Duke of Windsor had given to the woman who would become, against all odds, his wife. The symbol of eternal love was born. In order to give it olfactory form, Calvin Klein created a composition bearing the same name as the one engraved on the ring: Eternity. A fragrance of scandal, a water of romance, a pledge of eternal love, Eternity left its mark on the world of perfumery through all its symbols. A new kind of fragrance for its time, Eternity stood at the crossroads between the overly proper florals of the 80s and the overly heady juices of the 90s.

The floral bouquet of Eternity

Eternity is built on an enormous bouquet of white flowers, a symbol of purity. This is composed of lily of the valley, white lily, freesia and the most feminine of flowers, the rose. This tender fragrance is enhanced with spices such as clove and woody notes such as sandalwood. The base is warm and sensual thanks to patchouli and musks. The bottle reflects the image of the Eternity woman, extremely elegant. This glass case presents clean lines, above which sits a silver-toned ring. Of course, this cabochon is a nod to the wedding band Calvin Klein gave his future wife. Calvin Klein here signs a fragrance filled with sincerity, a timeless fragrance that will make every woman who wears it a pledge of eternal love.

After the success of his ready-to-wear collections, Calvin Klein triumphantly entered the arena of perfumery. In 1988, the house presented Eternity. The Eternity fragrance is rich in symbols and proofs of love. Its notes contrast just as its bottle does, and its duality is its strength. Its fragrance is pure and lasts forever, like eternal love. One of Calvin Klein's great successes.
