Euphoria Perfume

Calvin Klein crowds the base of Euphoria with an unexpected culinary material, an unusual finish for a fragrance built around seduction as a concept. Pomegranate, persimmon and a green accord open with a bright, tart fruitiness that hints little at the density waiting underneath. Black orchid, lotus and champaca carry the middle, dark and exotic, pulling the fragrance toward something considerably more sensual than its fruity top suggests. Mahogany, amber, black violet and whipped cream close things out rich and warm, giving Euphoria Eau de Parfum its signature moody, gourmand-leaning finish. Oriental floral is the fitting classification, dense enough for evening wear while remaining workable on a cooler afternoon. It suits dates, dinners and evenings out about equally well. Fall and winter favor the mahogany and amber close most, once that richness has had time to settle. That whipped cream note in the base is the detail that softens what would otherwise be a purely dark, exotic floral.
