Calvin Klein Man – Fragrance Review

Fragrance: Calvin Klein Man

House: Calvin Klein

Year of Release: 2007

Ideal for: All-day and evening

Some CK fans have come to believe that the brand has not been able to create too many distinctive Men’s fragrances over the last few years. ‘Calvin Klein Man’ should help change that perception. The top notes don’t make a great impression; I found the first whiff slightly overwhelming and felt it might not work as an all-day fragrance especially in humid weather. But the fragrance really assumes a different character once it settles and the middle notes take over. The nutmeg gives this fragrance a distinctive feel and the spearmint keeps it fresh. The fragrance scores reasonably well on the lasting power quotient but most of all it works because it is a truly unique fragrance and certainly one of 2007’s finer men’s fragrances. It does not scream for attention and yet makes a statement.

Notes: Top- Rosemary, Mandarin, Bergamot, Violet leaf / Middle – Nutmeg, Bay, Spearmint, Incense / Base – Cypress, Guaiac, Sandalwood, Amberwood
