What’s in it?
A nod to the classic, however, the brand says it’s a modern spin on what has been a top seller for Calvin Klein. It has a fruity twist and is made with natural ingredients, including rose essence - responsibly grown and Fair Trade certified, raspberry leaf, Mirabelle plum, pink pepper, and guava blossom. The hint of subtle musky orchid, Cashmeran (a spicy, fruity, vanilla-like aroma), crystal amber, and vanilla round off this perfect, everyday scent.
Calvin Klein Euphoria EDT, 50ml, $113.
Why do we like it?
The simple list of ingredients belies the complexity of this scent that is mouthwatering and mysterious. Like the original, which burst on the perfume scene 18 years ago, it also lasts for a long time on the skin, which is unusual for an eau de toilette, making it an excellent value. In addition, it’s spring-like and uplifting; spraying this on a miserable winter’s morning will surely perk up the senses. Finally, the dew-inspired pretty pink bottle makes it an ideal contender for gifting - if you can bear to give it away.
Another designer expression of loving our true selves.
