Reviews of Calvin Klein Man (2007)
by Calvin Klein

pleasantly surprised at this effort by CK. tho i only prefer the older ones with the exception of Escape. Ive found the new releases not as good (discounting eternity and one summer versions- which have always been good at least for the past 3 years). Between this and euphoria, id take this. Though euphoria looks sexy with its chic bottle, the scent is quite a let down. id reccommend CK Man if you're fond of the likes of gucci ph II (which is sweeter), allure homme - i call them high-end-bodering-overpriced fresh fragrances. Ck man is a more economical choice. almost like loewe solo too. filled up a decant of it from my friend's and still thinking if i should buy over since he didnt really like the sweetness.

Opens up smelling like fresh mint and spearmint leaves. When I say fresh, I mean like smelling them in the produce section at the supermarket. I don't detect much sweetness at all.

The dry-down becomes slightly spicier and I can detect something like parsley in addition to the mint leaves.

And that's all there is to this according to my nose. It smells good, but it isn't for me. Going around smelling like FRESH mint and parsley just isn't appealing.

This reminded me a lot of cK one Scene (less the ginger), although they share but two notes (mandarin and amber wood, per the scent pyramid). At any rate, Calvin Klein Man while fresh, clean and inoffensive, Man does not have the depth (or duration) of cK one Scene. In a word, unremarkable.

i love it, for some reason it seems like an "oriental" scent to me, images of samurai style scenery comes to mind for some reason.. Fresh scent, ive had females drool over it plenty of times. These people are saying unoriginal and boring but they are seasoned perfume critics, the cute girl at the bar will think its plenty original, trust me.

While I found this highly generic, I found it fairly competent and inoffensive if used sparingly.

Very good, clean, and strong initially.
Once dry, Smells like sweet green relish (yup, hot dog relish) for the next 4 hours.
Clean, but much too sweetness.
