An Overview of Calvin Klein Euphoria
Calvin Klein’s yearly iteration of Euphoria (2005) brings forth a collection of fruity-floral fragrances that are similar in most aspects and yet different on the whole. It’s true that some people have gotten bored of smelling the same flanker one after the other but if you’ve become loyal to a particular scent, flanker or not, wouldn’t it be fun to explore the other facets of the same fragrance? Same fragrance, reinvented, re-interpreted, reborn!
Euphoria was launched in 2005. This scent combines lush fruits and luminous florals and the noses behind this fragrance are Dominique Ropion, Carlos Benaim and Loc Dong. The name of the fragrance evokes a feeling of pleasurable experience, vicariously appealing to the erogenous zones of the body – an olfactive ecstasy, if you may call it. Euphoria is intoxicating – it’s rich, smoky, floral and gourmand all in one scent. The fragrance notes are pomegranate, lotus, orchid, persimmon, green notes, champaca flower, liquid amber, mahogany wood, black violet and cream accord.
Euphoria Blossom (2006) is not as strong as Euphoria rather it’s soft and sheer. This version is notably citrusy in the opening, the peony more pronounced in the middle and the white musk more romantic. Suffice to say, Euphoria Blossom is a mellowed down version of the original. In the same year, Euphoria Luminous Lustre. The notes are similar to the original but this version is peppered with glitters. So, whenever you spray it on your skin, you’ll get a nice glittery sparkle to cap off your scent.
Euphoria Crystalline (2007) comes in a glamorous floral-designed bottle but the liquid inside is pretty much the same as the original. In 2008, another interpretation of Crystalline was introduced and it was called Euphoria Crystal. It has the same formula, the same floral pattern, the same bottle but this time the flacon is encrusted with Swarovski crystals. This flanker focuses more on the bottle rather than the juice inside it.
In Spring 2009, Calvin Klein released the spring edition called Euphoria Spring Temptation. Despite being a flanker, this fragrance is an entirely a different composition than the original. The notes are guava leaf, pear blossom, pink lily, white sandalwood, water notes, amber and musk. The opening takes you to an olfactory journey to a fruit orchard during harvest season. The introduction of the water accords counters the sweetness of the fruits and in the same fashion, gives it a more refreshing aroma – tempting but never too cloying.
Five years, five euphoric fragrances from Calvin Klein. Although some perfumistas would not regard Euphoria as spine tingling as it claims to be, it sure is a great respite from the shared fragrances the CK fragrance house is churning out in the past years.
