During my last shopping trip, the Douglas employee handed my 7-year-old son a sample of CK Eternity Now.
The little rascal of today is surely the cool guy of tomorrow :-)
However, Junior's excitement didn't last long, as he had to give the sample to Dad right away - because of the alcohol content!
Somehow, the sample did persuade me to invest in the 30ml bottle. In the first few days, I was quite taken with it, as CKEN noticeably starts with ginger, but then quickly transitions into a pleasant spiciness. I don't perceive the scent as sweet and fruity at all. After about 2 hours, I only smell a slightly woody vanilla. The sillage also noticeably diminishes after about 2 hours. Up close, I can still catch the remaining vanilla aroma for about 6 hours, but unfortunately, no female colleague sticks that closely to my neck.
I think the scent can be worn all year round; maybe take a break in the height of summer. Leisure, work, or the mother-in-law's funeral... it works for almost any occasion. Unfortunately, the scent doesn't have the same effect on me as it does in the ads, even though I also sport a three-day beard like Tobias Sorensen. Well, my wife will probably be just fine with that.
In conclusion, it's not a scent that one absolutely must own. Maybe I'll end up giving the bottle to my son after all. By the time we walk to elementary school, most of it will have evaporated anyway; but then, of course, it won't do much for the girls.
