Hello....these two scents may be well different from each other, but I'm just looking to pick only one of the two. In your opinion...which of them is classier and more wearable. Which of them will also get me more compliments?
Thanks.

More wearable - CK Eternity Aqua but not necessarily good.

Strictly Private is an awesome scent, beautiful, with a good sillage and longevity. A bit feminine though... It could remind of Tobacco Vanille.
CK Eternity Aqua is awful, unfortunately.

Well seeing as you live in Ghana, I would probably go with Eternity Aqua.

Thanks for your reply....But why is that so? Is it because of the climate?

+1, though I think it's masculine enough not to be called uni-sex.
It's an awesome and highly original gourmand with a masculine creme brulee accord.

Here my review from last April:

For me this is a perfect oriental/woody spicy like fragrance being almost gourmand. I never smelled Tom Ford's TV so I cannot compare.
Woody notes (cedar) mixed with some dry vanilla/creme brulee accorded by amber and patchouli. The vibe it gives me is very sensual, luxurious and expensive.
I never smelled anything like it and for me it's the best by Baldessarini followed by the way less original Ambre. I do not consider it uni-sex at all but women are of course free to wear this gorgeous stuff! Sillage is average and longevity is above average (the scent lingers around you for hours!). Best for (cosy) evenings, dates (women adore this) and formal occasions.

Strictly Priviate it is a more mature fragrance. CK Eternity Aqua is very much a teen crap scent.

I would also recommend strongly Strickly Private - A very nice scent indeed. I find it very masculine even though it has vanilla.
