Liz Claiborne vs Eternity

Liz Claiborne is remembered fondly by the r/fragrance community as an iconic fragrance from the 80s/90s that many wore as their first 'real' perfume. While the original formulation was beloved and distinctive, modern versions suffer from weak longevity and projection, though the affordable price makes it worth exploring for those seeking nostalgia or casual everyday wear.

The Eternity community is divided primarily by variant: the EDT receives moderate approval for youthful freshness and compliments, while the EDP is widely criticized for overpowering green and herbal notes that feel dated and masculine to younger wearers. Overall reception leans positive for those who like traditional scents but negative for those seeking contemporary fragrances.
