Reviews of Calvin Klein Man (2007)
by Calvin Klein

One of Calvin Klein's better offerings in recent years, definitely more interesting than CK One or Euphoria imho. MAN opens crisply with zesty pepper which lingers well into the lightly incensey heart notes. Rather modern and masculine, I'm just surprised it hasn't had more reviews. This could well be a sleeper.

Not bad. CK has put out a lot of crappy fragrances in the past few years, but this one I actually like. I can pick out the rosemary and mint from the start which instantly draws me in. The cypress in the base also comes out withing 15 minutes of application, and I'm a sucker for cypress. The dry down is decent and longevity as well. Sillage is average.

This scent reminds me of a less refined version of Kiton Black. This is a more "melty" creamy version, opposed to the sharp, brisk kiton black. It is very nice, but in the end it did not get my money. Think of this as a more modern Grey Flannel.

THE OTHER DAY JUST MET A FRIEND OF MINE AND ASKES HIM WHAT WAS THAT UNIQUE FRAG WAS USING?
THIS IS MY CONCLUSION, I ONLY SAY THIS:
IT'S ONLY APHRODISIQUE !!!!! MY GOD....

Masculine, a bit dark, spicy. One would have expected very much. It isn't. None the less I quite like this scent, It can be worn during a day and in the evening. It is not overbearing so it can go well in hot weather as well.

AMAZING COLOGNE. STARTS OFF SPICY THEN SETTLES DOWN TO SOMETHING REALLY NICE. HAVEN GOTTEN COMPLIMENTS AND ALOT OF GIRLS LOVE it. GREAT SMELL AND IS VERY UNIQUE. NEVER SMELT ANYTHING LIKE IT. ILL BE TOTALLY HONEST WHEN I FIRST SMELT THIS I GOT A HEADACHE BUT AFTER A WHILE I REALLY SMELT THE UNDERTONES AND IT SMELLS AMAZING. BUY IT

I absolutely adore it, but i get absolutely no compliments on it at all... i guess this one just doesn't work with my body chemistry very well... oh well sometimes you just have to wear fragrances to please yourself, and this is one of them

CK Man is a really good fresh, clean scent. Upon opening, I get more of the violet-mandarian top notes. After about 5-10 minutes, the top notes soften and the bay and spearmint come through...a little loud actually, but nice. The bottom notes is where it really shines for me. The sandalwood, cypress and amberwood become dominate and mesh with the green notes giving Man and very nice, pleasant, green, clean scent. I really enjoy Man. Sillage is about normal and longevity is normal to high for me. I can see this being a crowd pleaser around the wearer. I concur with surreality's review and I don't see the similarity to CK One Scene which I also have and adore. Sunsetspawn nailed it with the image of a forest after a light rain. That is a good visual for Man. Will this turn heads at a rave party in the Paris underground? No, which is what most of the reviewers are basing their reviews on. There is nothing in the formula that jumps up, slaps you in the face because its so potent, overbearing and weird demanding attention because its from a $300 bottle. Will it get you complimented on a normal night out with friends, at the ski slope/beach or walking around town? Most assuredly, yes.

This is very subtle at first but the violet leaves and rosemary are rather fun. Usually I dislike cypress but it's not a major player here. When you need a youthful but inoffensive, light scent, use this.

Man could be classified as a generic "fresh" scent, however, if it's given some time it proves itself to be more. It's got a more natural smell to it than many of its competitors. The wood and spice combination are just right in that they evoke the smells of walking through a northeasten North American forest after a light rain. The only downside I can see here is that because Man is a very pleasant, natural smelling, inoffensive fresh scent you may find that you're quickly smelling like everybody else if it gains popularity.

Here's hoping that the "natural nature" of this scent keeps the masses away.

Natural nature, ya hear me?

The rosemary and mint top and middle notes, coupled with its longevity on my skin, really makes this one stand out from the CK crowd. If your looking for something highly original, quirky or elegant then this fragrance is NOT for you. However, if you want something unobtrusive but still a little different from most of the mainstream fragrances out there this may just be worth a try.

I like it and I think I will be enjoying it soon

the sandalwood is well done in this one and it is the way I want it

You can't rush this one, if you do you will keep it bad feedback. That said, first impression was: familiar, as in I have smelled this before. It is very fresh oranges, peels and all. Then pepper shows up but not to take over the show. It hangs around for a good while (an hour plus) at which point everything comes alive and I finally declred this a good scent. It isn't totally unique because it takes you on a journey thru several fragrances (if you know your scents), but it does so quite beautifully. A few hours later it settles down to a shy Carolina Herrera for men. I like it. It is great for office wear because it will not offend anyone and will probably get a few compliments along the way. If you want something distinctive, then this is not it. But if you want something bright in a suit or just a shirt and tie (albeit with open arms) then this is it.

I don't care for the bottle, but the juice is worth the money.
BTW: it is nothing like Euphoria and CKin2U or relish for that matter! :)

A Very Nice Scent It's Great from Begining to end Masculine Sexy with crisp freshness, exotic spices and rich woods.It wears so well that you can still smell it at the end of the day...and well into the night a thumbs up
