Calvin Klein Man (2007)
by Calvin Klein

I enjoy this scent, oh, how I do.

The scent in general is pleasing and has gotten me a few compliments when I have worn it. I love this cologne's scent, from simply sniffing the vaporizer to the drydown. Besides the incense (which I can stand in non-excessive amounts), I've nothing wrong with this cologne or its ingredients.

I find myself wishing for a diagonal thumb in between thumbs up and neutral, but forced to choose between those two I lean towards the up.

This scent is subtle and doesn't project well; has little sillage. I cannot describe it as fresh as I cannot distinguish the orangey parts. I get the violet from the start and some sweetness, probably from the insence already reaching out from the mids before its time. This remains so - sweet, a very faint pine / cypress until the faint woody base. I like this scent but it is not at all distinguished or different to contemporary releases. Fairly bland after a while and you end up saying ho-hum to yet another 'similar' modern smell. CK seem prolific in their fragrance production but maybe they should sit back, get creative and create something which isn't another also-ran such as this inoffensive but square offering.

CK Man brings to my mind the sensation of walkinng inside a forest in a rainy day.
A good scent.

I remember almost buying a bottle of this upon the first sampling, but multiple test wears later, I am still unsure about Man. It opens rather exotically with a green citrus aroma, but starts to smell very thinly of a pseudo incensed-vanilla accord that doesn't sit well with me.

It smells just like every other men's fragrance. But it's not bad every-day-scent.

Very fresh and spicy; definitely the kind of juice i'm into. A little generic smelling to me, Antonio Banderas' Dialovo smells very similar to this for nearly a 1/3 of the price.
