I thought this might smell too dark and/or sour or bitter from the pepper, rhubarb, and black tea, but it's actually pretty nice. There's definitely that bite of spice, and vegetal aspects, but it still feels pretty clean and easygoing. Some of the notes combine into smelling sage-like on me. Nothing special, but not bad.

So my son begged me for the Calvin Klein eternity intent bottle is beautiful. The packaging is beautiful. The intense is definitely intense little too overwhelming, but he likes it.

I actually have not yet bought or owned this cologne as of yet, but have recently smelled in one of the department stores in the mall and oh I definitely did like the scent. Already a fan of many of the Eternity perfumes and colognes so I just knew this would be another I like to add to my list. Hopefully soon I will be able to purchase this one next.

Calvin Klein Eternity Intense

This item was sent to me as a free sample in exchange for my review. I typically like clean, fresh smelling fragrances. This was not really a clean or fresh smelling fragrance, but when I first smelled it…I thought the fragrance smelled pretty good. For three days, I applied the scent each day after I showered. The scent didn’t seem to last very long on me throughout the day. In addition, there is a smell in the fragrance that I didn’t like. Overall, the scent wasn’t clean and fresh smelling, it didn’t last long and there was a smell in the fragrance that I didn’t like. With that, I feel this is not a fragrance for me. However, since everyone’s body chemistry is different, this fragrance may appeal to others because it smells good out of the bottle. It’s kind of ... MoreThis item was sent to me as a free sample in exchange for my review. I typically like clean, fresh smelling fragrances.

Converting this non-believer

I've used two colognes my entire life, commonly stopping in department stores and checking out every scent but never finding the scent that felt like me. I was cautiously optimistic about this one, and it quickly grew on me. The intensity of the scent became very palatable after a couple uses, and the compliments rolled in from female coworkers. I wouldn't consider my nasal palate developed enough to identify each ingredient of this spray, but I consider myself fairly critical, and it means a lot to say that I will be using this over my other two colognes that I've used the past 15 years.This item was sent as a free sample in exchange for my review.

Excellent First CK Fragrence

**This item was sent as a free sample in exchange for my review.**As never having personally used any fragrances from Calvin Klein, I was excited to try Intense. I typically use "sport" versions of scents as they have more citrus tones, which remind me of the beach. Upon the first smell, I instantly thought of this cologne as one to be worn for more formal events. The peppery and woody tones made me want to go somewhere all dressed up. This scent lasts all day long...The fact that I only sprayed 3 shots in the morning before going to work and could still experience the scent over 8 hours later was incredible. Other fragrances I have used would take 6 or more to last that long and even then it could be to much for me for the first 20 minutes. This is absolutely a ... More**This item was sent as a free sample in exchange for my review.**As never having personally used any fragrances from Calvin Klein, I was excited to try Intense.

I will now have to try other CK fragrances to see if any are up to par with Intense.

For Any Man

The Calvin Klein Eternity Intense fragrance is a very acceptable cologne for any man in any situation. This item was sent as a free sample in exchange for my review and I must say I was very surprised when I gave it a try. In the first spray your nose is hit with a smooth aromatic but intense hit of a almost beauty salon type of clean herbal aroma. Yet, the fragrance is undeniably manly and strong. The fragrance almost immediately calms down to a low level intensity that almost makes you want to spray more on, but then you move a little and the wonderful aroma hits you again. It did remind me the nice smell of a salon when you first enter the door and the expensive shampoo's, conditioner's, and herbalness of the salon hits you and makes you feel like you are ... MoreThe Calvin Klein Eternity Intense fragrance is a very acceptable cologne for any man in any situation.

I absolutely love the dark bottle with the dark chrome type lid that gives a manly feel to the bottle. I did find that the sent of the fragrance lasted about 6-8 hours before it began to fade away. I used it on both my skin and clothes and found that both lasted about the same amount of time with no irritation or staining of my clothes. I received several compliments from the first day I used the cologne about how "good I smelled" or how "clean and fresh" my cologne was. I use several different brands and scents of fragrance and I immediately moved this one to the front of the line because I enjoyed the aroma so much.This fragrance would also be a wonderful gift for someone who is strict on the type of fragrance they use. The bottle shows class and manliness which will fit every different type of man. The fragrance isn't overpowering so anyone in any type of industry or apart of any type of gathering could wear it without disturbing the people around them. I also found it to not be overpowering in the sense that if you sprayed too much it wouldn't choke the user (take their breath away) or take over the area sprayed. I think it is a very nice cologne that a man of any age could wear and it would fit very nicely into a routine of daily fragrances or as a solo fragrance.Overall, the Calvin Klein Eternity Intense fragrance is a winner in my book and the purchaser will not regret buying it.

Pleasant, long lasting, masculine scent!

This cologne is great. The scent is very masculine and smells clean, high quality, and sophisticated. It smells grown up, mature, premium, and not cheap. The bottle size is just right; small enough for travel and the right quantity so that it doesn't take forever to get through. The scent lasts all day but without being "boom" in your face strong or overpowering. My wife likes it too which helps. It would make a great generous gift or is good for yourself to wear everyday. Most fragrances these days are just too strong. This one strikes just the right balance. I received this product for free in exchange for providing my honest review and opinion about it.

Too Strong for Me but Was Popular With theLadies

I have used Calvin Klein cologne for over 30 years. One, Eternity for Men, Obsession for Men, and my current bottle ck Free are just some of the colognes I have used (aside from this sample i received).Eternity and Obsession have always been my favorites as their scents are lighter, more floral and refreshing.I received a free bottle of eternity intense in exchange for this review and can tell you right off the bat that i would not buy this fragrance for me! But that doesn't mean anything because I am a sissy when it comes to smell and I need my cologne to be light, on the border of feminine. This cologne is profoundly different from the scents I told you i prefer. This scent is very musky and i know there are guys out there that love that smell.

This cologne is profoundly different from the scents I told you i prefer. This scent is very musky and i know there are guys out there that love that smell. How do i know? They have told me that eternity for men, worn by me, makes it seem feminine and that they need a smell that is manly! My nose knows what it likes and i have never had a woman complain and that's who I care about.I asked my girlfriend what she thought of eternity intense because her sense of smell is very sophisticated and you know what? She really liked it, but said it was slightly overwhelming but that's because I used my traditional two spray method (for the lighter scents). She would have preferred 1 but with he lighter scents i always use 2, so listen up fellas, take it easy on the sprays. My daughter was also of Intense as well and now she likes me to wear ti. S so i will definitely use up this bottle to appease the princess.Even though it is not a cologne that I would buy, many around me would appreciate if i had another bottle around, but it's to strong for my sniffer.

Women Loves This!

One thing I love about a good cologne is receiving compliments. Because it tells me I made a good choice. And this cologne does that for me. Up to yesterday in the isle I work as a grocery clerk, two women at different times during the day, asked me, Is that you smelling so good? And a other lady said," I smelled you all the way to the other end, before I turned the corner". Personally, I've read some reviews that the cologne is not so good. But I love it! Calvin Klein's Aqua is another one I love! Anytime I wear that one to work, positive comments always flow in. I waiting to see when Calvin Klein's Air will be cheaper by a seller on eBay's website, than the prices I'm seeing presently. Then that one I must try next. And of course for myself, I prefer the largest ... MoreOne thing I love about a good cologne is receiving compliments. Because it tells me I made a good choice. And this cologne does that for me.
