I have found a couple bottles here and there, but soon the well will run dry.

Really? Nothing? I'm on my own?

50 views from people who probably have the answer, yet no one will help me?

I shall now weep.

I have no answer.. But I checked back to see if someone helped. What does Calvin smell like? Do you have any notes?

Calvin Cologne by Calvin Klein, Launched by the design house of calvin klein in 1981, calvin is classified as a sharp, spicy, lavender, amber fragrance. This masculine scent possesses a blend of forest notes of oakmoss, woods and citrus.

So I went and typed the notes into the BN database to find other fumes (I know next to nothing about masculines). Everything is relative to the rest of the ingredients, but I did find one that has all the notes you listed. It's called Annuci Man. On the classic front, Capucci pour Homme has nothing but positive reviews and has amber and lavender. Sean John Unforgivable had some note matches, too, but maybe you've already smelled it. My DH kinda likes that one.
You should check out the directory! There's a wealth of info in there. I just picked out three that happened to jump out at me. There are a few reviews of Calvin on here, but unfortunately no comparisons. I hope this helps some.

That is so kind of you. THANKS! I will research Annuci Man, as it sounds like a close enough match.

Again, much appreciated.

There's no replacement for this - I really, really wish they'd put it back into production.

You can still get it on Ebay. Just search for "Calvin cologne original." Little pricey though.

Right, well the Calvin I loved in the early 80s does not smell as good as the ones you can still find online, which most are the rereleases reintroduced in the 90s. But I found, thanks to this forum, that Old Spice a/s Fresh is pretty dead on to the original, but it has no lasting power. Cheers
