Reviews of Euphoria (2005)
by Calvin Klein

This perfume seems to have 2 opposing elements to it. The first is lovely - I don't know how to describe it and I'm not going to bother trying to put a name to the various elements, sugar, caramel etc - but can be smelled throughout wearing it. The second is a very cheapy, perhaps '80s' element and I think it's a shame that it's there - it's strongest in the first, topnotes stage - the rather acrid fruity one. Just had a look at what else the perfumer has done and I see that Secret Obsession and lots of Lynx fragrances are there - hmmm.. I've just bought it and after a while of sniffing and resniffing to analyse it and see what I think (yes, I know, I am rather reckless when it comes to buying perfumes and sometimes buy them after the merest aquaintance!) I have discovered that it has actually created a 'burnt' sensation inside my nose. This burning effect has never happened with any other perfume and as a smell obsessive I've sniffed a lot throughout my life! I wonder what it is that is doing that?
Anyway I find I CAN wear it, don't find it sickening as I do with a lot of perfumes especially modern ones - the Cacharels, J'adore etc - and that is at least a mark in its favour. It also smells lovely when I smell it on other people. I would give this somewhere between neutral and thumbs up (for the mystery 'lovely' element). Can't have both so it's a neutral from me!

After sampling Euphoria at a fragrance counter, I just had to have it. Although it smells somewhat synthetic, it smells sexy and fun.The scent stays true on me for hours. I don't wear it as often as I used to because I've been experimenting with others, but I still like it very much. I'm a teacher, and several of my students wear it. I like to smell unique, so Euphoria spends too much time on the shelf :-(

Like most of the Calvin Klein fragrances, this is wonderfully unusual and unlike any other scent I've tried, and like many fragrances, it smells a little different on every person who wears it. To anyone who is thinking of buying it, I recommend sampling it generously first to see how it works on you. I know with me, it starts out as a sweet spicy floral and ends up being more of a "woodsy" fragrance not unlike men's cologne.

it smells like cotton candy for about 30 minutes.doesn't last long like all my perfumes but i think it's the altitude.i live in the mountains now but when i lived in new orleans my perfume lasted all day.

Loved it on the sample cards in the magazines, but on me after about an hour, it just gets FUNKY! It's almost a musty, smokey thing that happens, like when you've stood in a bar all night long.

On me Euphoria smells like sugared almonds. It's not an offensive fragrance - just too sweet for me.

Pomegranate + Persimmon + Lotus Blossom, Champaca Flower + Black Orchid + Liquid Amber + Black Violet + Cream Accord + Mahogany Wood = Smells like spices... the bottle is great but scent is not...

I'm reviewing euphoria again because at first i really didn't like it to much. The funny thing is: i still don't like it. But the other funny thing is: sometimes I LOVE IT!

I realized that after having this for a bouple months now, for me anyway, this scent is based on what my mood is, what the weather is, and what im wearing. That's probably why i didn't have a strong love for when i wore it. I recommend colder mornings for Euphoria personally!! Don't be to quick to judge perfume!!

I tried it on. It smelled like Prada wnannabe. Plus, the scent didn't develop or fade very nicely. Some people will like it for its strong, oriental notes, but I wanted more depth.

I don't really see what all the fuss is about. It's pleasant, sweet, slightly fruity. Nice bottle and nice drydown...Overall, it's "eh".

Calvin Klein fragrances have never appealed to me, and Euphoria is no exception. To me it smells like a combination of Obsession and Cinema, and it's not as striking as Obsession or as bad as Cinema. This smells quite nice on the paper test strip, but on my skin it's just boring.
