SOTD: Eternity Summer Daze by Calvin Klein
This was my second venture into the Eternity line with this 2022 limited edition flanker from the nose of Anne Flipo. It's an Aromatic/Fourgere twist on the original Eternity DNA that brings with it that Coastal Summer holidays vibe. The fragrance opens with a bright, juicy burst of mandarin orange, for an energetic & uplifting start. As it transitions into the heart, the classic clean lavender of the Eternity line is modernized with the addition of a cooling mint note. What makes Summer Daze unique compared to previous years is the use of Calypsone in the base. This Givaudan molecule provides a watery, ozone like freshness with a subtle hint of watermelon rind, which adds a distinct marine character without the saltiness of traditional aquatics. As an edt designed for the heat, it's meant to be a light wear, expect 4hrs at best, you can always top up throughout the day, especially at this price point. It projects well for the first 60m, perfect for outdoor setting, after this it settles into a pleasant personal scent bubble. This is a daytime fragrance for spring/summer. Perfect for the beach or outdoor activities. It's also a great option for the office, if you want a clean scent for the warmer days. It is a great choice for those who enjoy the original Eternity but want something lighter, fruitier, and more aquatic. My Rating 5.5/10 Scent 2 Longevity 1.5 Sillage 1 Y/N 1
