Euphoria Calvin Klein 2005 Eau de Parfum

This perfume could be my signature scent - but I find it too special to wear every day. The scent is diva-like yet gentle, melancholic yet comfortingly warm. It is the first perfume that completely enchants me from top to base notes, that somehow "embodies" me.
In the opening, I perceive the fruity pomegranate and something slightly "grassy", at the same time the flowers come to it. The orchid becomes stronger and stronger and (as I said) madamy diva-like. However, in my opinion, this still remains in the realm of pleasant and makes the fragrance noble; but with a melancholic touch. As the fragrance progresses, it becomes creamy, with almost Christmas-like ("gingerbread") spices creeping in. They have a very comforting effect on me and soften the melancholy; they embrace me and make me smile. I don't smell violets or mahogany explicitly, but in the overall impression they perhaps contribute, together with the spices and the fruity notes, to the fragrance not becoming too diva-like.
As I mentioned before, the perfume is too special for me to wear every day. Especially on the weekend, on special occasions or in the evening - even on a balmy summer evening at a barbecue - it fits best for me. In very high temperatures, I would not wear it.
The durability is okay, sprayed on in the morning I perceive in the evening still skin something, on the hair and on the clothes longer than on the skin. So it is not an endlessly lasting perfume, but the durability is solid. The sillage is strong immediately after application, but decreases after a few hours.
I think the flacon is just great! It has artistic value to me with its contrasts: the curved body of the bottle versus the angular lid; bright silver versus the shimmering purple perfume. This appealed to me immediately (and besides, I LOVE the color purple/violet!).
My conclusion; A wonderful fruity-sweet yet dark and sophisticated fragrance for special occasions in a wonderful bottle with solid longevity and sillage.
