Calvin Klein Eternity Amber Essence Parfum Intense - Warm Amber Masculine Fragrance

Calvin Klein presents Eternity Amber Essence Parfum Intense, an audacious reinterpretation of the Eternity line—merging brightness and depth. It opens with zesty mandarin, weaves through resinous cistus, and settles into a sumptuous base of benzoin and bourbon vanilla. Crafted to linger, this fragrance bridges the fresh and the cozy with masculine elegance.

Key Notes & Olfactory Pyramid

• Top notes: Italian Green Mandarin (or Italian Mandarin) 

• Heart notes: Cistus Absolute (a resinous, warm resin)

• Base notes: Benzoin, Bourbon Vanilla 

This structure yields an opening that’s fresh and citrusy, a deeper middle of resin and warmth, and a comforting sweet-amber dry-down.

Longevity & Sillage

• According to critics and user reviews, the longevity tends to be moderate to only fair — often lasting 4–6 hours before fading. 

• Sillage is likewise moderate — it projects initially but later hugs closer to the skin rather than leaving a bold trail. 

• Some retail descriptions claim up to 6–8 hours on skin with moderate projection and a fabric-retaining dry-down. 

Perfect Occasions & Seasons
This fragrance works best in cooler weather—autumn and winter—including evenings in spring. The amber-vanilla warmth, resinous heart, and moderate projection make it well suited for dinner dates, gatherings, and nightwear.

Why Niche Lovers Admire It
Though a designer fragrance, Amber Essence has traits that resonate with niche enthusiasts: use of rich resins (cistus, benzoin), a refined amber profile, and a modern structure that avoids being overtly gourmand. Its balance of fresh citrus top and warm resinous base gives it depth without loudness.
