Euphoria
A hundred and sixty millilitres is a very large bottle, and Calvin Klein Euphoria Eau de Parfum 160ml Limited Edition is aimed squarely at people who already know they wear this one.
The opening is dark fruit. Pomegranate is tart and juicy rather than sweet, with a slightly astringent skin to it, and persimmon beside it is softer and more honeyed, closer to a ripe, deep fleshed fruit left too long in a warm kitchen. Together they give the first few minutes a red, sticky brightness.
Then it turns strange, which is the point of it. Lotus brings a cool, watery floral cleanliness, almost aquatic, while black orchid underneath is dense and slightly animal, the kind of flower note that reads as expensive and a little airless. The two of them together are the reason this scent has never smelled like anything else on a counter. Mahogany gives the base its structure, polished and dry, with violet adding a powdery coolness over the top and amber supplying a low, resinous heat beneath. It is a seven material composition and it is built to last, projecting firmly for the first two hours before settling into a warm, slightly sweet skin scent that will still be faintly there at bedtime.
Evenings, cold weather and occasions rather than errands. It is written for women, and the limited edition presentation of this size makes it a reasonable gift for someone whose bottle you have quietly watched going down over the past year. Calvin Klein began in New York in 1968, built on clothing, jeans and underwear before fragrance, and has been owned by PVH since 2003. The scents themselves are made and sold under licence by Coty.
