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.

Other than the fresh citrus opening, there is nothing in this concoction that bears serious consideration. This is truly a synthetic fragrance from start to finish, but other than the bright opening, the midnotes are mild and the base is nonexistent; thus its longevity is quite poor, less then 3 hours on my skin. I generally like synthetics as long as they are well-crafted and last the whole day. This one fails on both counts. The overall impression is one of a much weaker version of Echo, minus the suede note and with a lot of citrus at the top.

It is not that bad, just very average.

This is one of the rare fragrances of which I tossed out the spray testers I received after sampling. A sickly-sweet orange scent that is not unlike Clinique Happy, only it doesn't become less sweet as it dries on the skin. I imagine this would be for high school age only. Even though it's discontinued I see it at the local mall fragrance store ( i do think the bottle is neat).

This one was once in my wish list but, fortunately, a friend of mine had a bottle and I could just loose all the passion for this fragrance... Thinking now, it was very artificial, simple and exclusively for summertime. It can still be found here in São Paulo, Brazil, even though it was discontinued.

This is a very sporty scent, it is entirely artificial and definitely orange. A lot of people give this a hard time for these qualities and I understand the position; this fragrance is not a great one but it does well for a youth audience and I like to think both the plastic bottle was meant to be tossed around in a gym bag. Not sophisticated but not meant to be. It's not remarkable either and lacks any kind of complexity, which is fine for what it is. At the prices its going at now maybe be worth a look for those interested in an energetic sport fragrance.

It reminds me of frozen oranges, and with that bizarre bottle, it is certainly laughable to Calvin Klein's "sophisticated" image. It would still be good to pick one up, if it no longer exists....as a novelty item..

People have to understand that there are scents out there like CK Crave that are targeted for a younger audience. For Males 16-25 years of age this will do the job. It has a very interesting scent that has a real tropical fruit feel to it. I dont care much for the spray mechanism though, hard to get a good stream sometimes.
