Euphoria Intense
by Calvin Klein
Euphoria Intense by Calvin Klein delivers a bold, darkly fruity interpretation of the original Euphoria, with a prominent patchouli and black currant opening that lingers throughout the wear. It feels deeper and more complex than the original, with a warm, spiced depth that enhances its longevity and sillage. The fragrance balances sweetness with sharpness, avoiding the overly powdery or sugary trap many contemporary fruity orientals fall into. Many users report long-lasting wear—some to 8 hours or more—especially on clothing, and appreciate its unwavering projection. The scent has a modern, sleek versatility, suitable for both day and night, particularly in autumn and winter. It evokes a mix of vintage chypres and contemporary fruitchouli elegance, resembling La Petite Robe Noir Intense in its darker, syrupy intensity.
Pros
- +Strong, long-lasting sillage and wear time—reports of up to 12 hours on skin or clothing
- +Deep, rich fruity-woody-spicy character offers complexity without sweetness overwhelming
- +Validated as a potent, modern take on the original Euphoria, with enhanced depth and richness
Cons
- −Patchouli dominates for some users, making it feel unbalanced or overpowering
- −Not consistently strong on all skin types—some consider it weak or evaporates quickly
- −May feel too linear or lacking in intricacy for those seeking layered sophistication
