1. Calvin Klein Euphoria

Calvin Klein Euphoria is the best Calvin Klein perfume for women in this ranking: a fruity oriental scent with pomegranate, black orchid and creamy musk that lasts 7–9 hours and suits evenings and cooler days. Euphoria was created in 2005 by Dominique Ropion, Carlos Benaim and Loc Dong. It’s the brand’s most searched-for women’s scent: our customers ask about a Calvin Klein Euphoria dupe or alternative more often than any other CK fragrance.

It opens with pomegranate and persimmon with green notes, juicy as fruit cut in half on the kitchen counter. After fifteen minutes the heart of orchid, lotus and black orchid comes through, dense and slightly creamy. The base of amber, mahogany and creamy musk keeps you warm until late evening; 2 sprays on the neck last from dinner until you get home. If you’re looking for a Calvin Klein Euphoria Blossom dupe, the lighter floral version we don’t carry, reach for classic Euphoria with just 1 spray or CK IN2U for Her from 4th place. Euphoria suits a date, the theatre and an October evening.

The bottle is oval, made of dark purple glass with a silver cap; it resembles an orchid bud.

2. Calvin Klein Eternity

Calvin Klein Eternity is a floral scent with freesia, lily and sandalwood that lasts 6–8 hours, a Calvin Klein perfume for women for everyday wear, work and weddings. Eternity was created in 1988 by Sophia Grojsman. More than 35 years later it’s still in the brand’s range, and in Poland it’s the second most popular CK women’s scent after Euphoria.

The top is freesia, mandarin, sage and basil, fresh as just-washed bedding drying on the balcony. The heart of lily, narcissus, lily of the valley, rose and carnation is a classic white-flower bouquet, clean and elegant. The base of sandalwood, patchouli, musk and amber stays on the skin until the afternoon, without heavy sweetness. Eternity suits the office, a family lunch and a wedding, including as a bridal scent.

The bottle is clear and flat with softly rounded edges; 1980s minimalism in its purest form.

3. Calvin Klein Deep Euphoria

Calvin Klein Deep Euphoria is a floral woody scent with orchid, lotus and amber that lasts 6–8 hours, a Calvin Klein perfume for women for autumn and calm evenings. The brand launched it in 2015 as a darker, earthier take on Euphoria. It’s a good choice for women who love Euphoria but want less sweetness.

It opens with wildflowers and cypress, cool and green like a walk in the woods on a November morning. The heart of orchid and lotus is reminiscent of classic Euphoria, only quieter. The base of amber, woody notes and musk is dry and enveloping, lasts 6–8 hours and doesn’t overwhelm indoors. Deep Euphoria suits work in autumn, dinner at a friend’s and an evening with a book.

The bottle has the same shape as Euphoria, in darker red-plum glass.

It launched in 2007 alongside a men’s version. It’s the lightest CK scent in this ranking, good for hot weather and as a gift for a daughter or granddaughter.

The top is wild blackberry and redcurrant, tangy as fruit lemonade in a café garden. The heart of cactus flower and floral notes is watery and fresh. The base of musk, amber and redwood stays close to the skin. CK IN2U suits holidays, everyday summer workdays and a weekend in the city; in hot weather 2 sprays last 5 hours.

The bottle is rectangular, in warm pink-orange glass, with a flat cap.

5. Dior Midnight Poison

Dior Midnight Poison is an oriental floral scent with mandarin, rose and patchouli that lasts 7–9 hours, a perfume similar to Euphoria for the evening. Dior launched it in 2007, 2 years after Euphoria, and both compositions share the same dark, sensual character. If you’re looking for scents similar to Calvin Klein Euphoria, this one is closest to its evening side.

It opens with mandarin and bergamot, bright and brief. Then comes a heart of dark rose, velvety as an evening gown the colour of the night sky. The base of amber and patchouli is deep and warm, just like Euphoria’s amber base. Midnight Poison suits a winter ball, New Year’s Eve and a candlelit dinner at a restaurant.

The bottle has the distinctive apple shape of the Poison line, in dark navy glass.

6. Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is an oriental vanilla scent with coffee, jasmine and vanilla that lasts 8–10 hours, a Euphoria-style scent for women who like a sweeter evening. It was created in 2014 by Nathalie Lorson, Marie Salamagne, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc. What it shares with Euphoria is a warm, creamy base, and both scents linger in a closed room for an hour after you’ve left.

It starts with pink pepper, orange blossom and pear, sparkling like a glass of prosecco. The heart of freshly ground coffee and jasmine smells like a café where you linger long after dark. The base of vanilla, patchouli and cedar lasts until morning. Black Opium suits a date, a concert and a December dinner; for Euphoria fans it’s a step towards sweetness.

The bottle is black, covered in fine glitter like a sequinned dress, with the pink juice visible through a round “window” in the middle.

7. Dior Hypnotic Poison

Dior Hypnotic Poison is an oriental vanilla scent with almond, jasmine and vanilla that lasts 8–10 hours, a fragrance for Calvin Klein Obsession fans for chilly evenings. Annick Menardo composed it in 1998. We don’t have an Obsession dupe, but Hypnotic Poison gives the same warmth of vanilla and spice in a softer version.

The top is coconut, plum and apricot, sweet as dried fruit in a holiday bowl. The heart of jasmine sambac, tuberose, caraway and rosewood is creamy and slightly spicy. The base of vanilla, almond, sandalwood and musk wraps around you like a cashmere sweater and lasts until morning. Hypnotic Poison suits winter, an evening for two and family holidays.

The bottle is shaped like the red apple of the Poison line, with a shiny cap.

Kenzo Flower by Kenzo is a powdery floral scent with violet, rose and white musk that lasts 6–8 hours, a fragrance for Calvin Klein Eternity fans for work and everyday wear. Alberto Morillas created it in 2000. What it shares with Eternity is a sense of cleanliness and calm: it smells polished, but never pushy.

It opens with hawthorn, blackcurrant and mandarin, fresh as a spring morning. The heart of Parma violet, rose and jasmine is powdery, like your mum’s compact open on the dressing table. The base of white musk, vanilla and opoponax stays on the skin like a soft cloud until the afternoon. Kenzo Flower suits the office, meeting up with friends and spring days.

The bottle is tall and curved, made of clear glass with a red poppy painted on the side.

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea is a citrus aromatic scent with bergamot, green tea and musk that lasts 4–6 hours, a CK One-style scent for summer and hot weather. Francis Kurkdjian composed it in 1999, 5 years after CK One launched. Both compositions share the same idea: clean citrus freshness with tea at the heart.

The top is bergamot, lemon, orange and mint, cool as a jug of iced tea on a July afternoon. The heart of green tea, jasmine and clove is slightly bitter and refreshing. The base of musk, oakmoss and amber stays close to the skin and doesn’t tire you at 30°C. Green Tea suits holidays, work in hot weather and after a workout; you’ll find more scents like this in our ranking of women’s summer perfumes.

DKNY Be Delicious is a fruity floral scent with green apple, cucumber and magnolia that lasts 5–7 hours, a fragrance for CK IN2U fans for everyday wear and spring. Maurice Roucel composed it in 2004. Like Calvin Klein, DKNY stands for American urban minimalism: freshness instead of excess.

It opens with green apple, cucumber, grapefruit and magnolia, crisp as an apple eaten on the way to work. The heart of tuberose, lily of the valley, rose and violet is bright and light. The base of sandalwood, amber and white woods stays gently on the skin until the afternoon. Be Delicious suits the office, shopping in town and as a gift for a younger woman, and if you like juicy apple accords like this, see our ranking of fruity perfumes for women.
