What does Calvin Klein Man (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend autumn and spring, with summer and winter further behind. It leans towards daily wear and the office, and is picked less often for evenings and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, while some call it modern or classic.
Citrus and green accords come first, and rosemary and mint add coolness. Laurel, nutmeg and frankincense give the heart a lightly spicy, resinous depth. In the base, cypress and the woods dominate, softened by sweet and floral touches. Cerruti pour Homme and Calvin Klein CK Be have a close profile.
