Advantages: smells nice

Disadvantages: none

I love a good big musky, heavy, wood laden fragrance, as anyone will know if they have read most of my previous reviews of fragrances! Well Calvin Klein Man is no exception. It is definitely a woody, musky scent that lingers all day once applied. I cannot believe that this fragrance has been around since 2007, but apparently it has. I am so surprised that it is not as ubiquitous as some others, but maybe that is to my advantage, as I hate smelling like everyone else!

Calvin Klein Man is an individual and original scent however, despite it having similar base ingredients! For me there is something similar to Issey Miyake, but at the same time they are very different. Both are big smelling and heavy woody fragrances, but perhaps it is a differnet finish. Again, there is a slight similarity to Christian Dior Fahrenheit, but Clavin Klein Man does not smell as old fashioned and has a younger feel about it.

Calvin Klein Man contains rosemary, mandarin, bay, nutmeg, incense, spearmint, cypress wood, and, oh dear, the usual (and overused) fragrance notes of bergamot, violet leaf, guaiac wood, sandalwood, amberwood and musk. Perhaps it is these overused notes that are the similarities to Fahrenheit and Issey Miyake.

Calvin Klein Man is available at in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. I have seen the 50 ml bottle retailing at £24.00, the 30 ml bottle can come in as low as £11.00 and the 100 ml bottle I got in last year's New Years sales for £24.00 - a bargain! Although I see that the 100 ml is usually around the £32.00 mark.

The bottle is an impossing black square, although the sides, although narrow are transparent so it is possible to see how much you hav left!

Final thoughts would be that this is a good evening wear after shave, reasonably priced and definitely unique!

Summary: good after shave
