Basenotes says...

This CK scent is designed for the gadget obsessed 15-24 aged male youth of today. The packaging is made completely of plastic and was inspired by mobile phones and bleepers. The scent is described as fresh and sexy (well aren't they all!) and is launched worldwide in autumn 2002.
Crave has the distinction of being the first male CK fragrance to be launched prior to the female version.
[Update May 2005]: Less than three years after launch, the fragrance has been discontinued by CK.

It was during a marathon Calvin Klein testing session that I finally found something to remove the "Bulldog licking urine from a nettle" expression that I had adopted. Crave is simplistic, almost unwearable in 90% of circumstances, and yet it makes me smile. It has a deranged melon note that reminds me of a drunken, socially handicapped friend I used to have, hard to live with, but crazy and entertaining.

Too quickly green....then settles down a bit to something with a subtle note of more, but different green.... and soapy.

purchased this on vacation (I only brough polo on a cruise... which is not a great hot weather scent- especially for the younger crowd)

I enjoyed it, it was nice but there are better orange scents out there. Boss in motion is bit more spicy, but is probably the better choice. I will probably pick up another bottle if i find it at a good price, but mainly for nostalgic reasons rather than really wanting it. The bottle was both the kick and flaw for me. I loved the bottle, but i brought it on another vacation and it broke in my suitcase. yes, my suitcase smelled great but the smell is long gone and so is my fragrance :/

Unrefined, artificial soap water. No staying power whatsoever. No wonder it was discontinued. Thankfully the bottle I had was only a mini.

This is the first fragrance I've ever bought on my own five years ago (just after I turned 15) and was my most favourite too. It was very light, fresh, It smelled like a beautiful summer breeze, but now that's changed. Maybe I've matured a tiny bit since then and I enjoy some of the notes, but Crave doesn't affect me like it used to. It doesn't last that long as well.

Sporty orange green. This is nice fresh and youthful but doesn't last long. I wonder why it was discontinued? Has a bit of a fizziness to it. Definitely synthetic and seemingly mashed together.
