Contradiction by Calvin Klein

For: men Designer: Calvin Klein Olfactive Group: Oriental Woody
Video

Calvin Klein feels the time and creates fragrances which are in the full harmony with certain times and generations and more over they set trends.
Contradiction is a fragrance for an active urban woman, "she is always and never the same". Intensive floriental with a pronounced metal nuance was very actual in later 1990-ties.

The composition opens with the floral notes of rose, peony, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The new and modern note of eucaliptus in the middle is refreshing the classic floral buquet. The heart blends with eucaliptus, pear blossom, orchid and syringa. Oriental base includes sandal and Tonka bean.
Contradiction was launched in 1998. The noses behind this fragrance are Carlos Benaim and Pierre Wargnye.

A very complex fragrance. Opens with a burst of lime, lavender and pepper. This is definitely not a very commercial-type fragrance and appeals to a certain discerning customer. Good sillage and longevity. Great flacon!

Although I'm not a fan of Calvin Klein's fragrances, I quite like this one.

It's very fresh, citrusy & a little bit sweet, but I like the fact that the citrus dominates rather than the sweet; at least on me! Someone above mentioned citrus candy and I have to agree that this is a most apt description.

For the price (I got mine for AUS $25 for a 100ml bottle), and considering the reasonable sillage & longevity, I say go for it. A word of warning though; try before you buy, as the quite dominant (synthetic) citrus may not be for everyone.

A real limey! Such intense lime throughout its very short time on my skin. I get hints of soapiness and a potentially delicious drydown, but it never truly develops on me; I'm lucky if I get 3 hours out of it. All this said, I still enjoy the brief encounter!

This is one of CK's fragrances that I appreciate for it's originality, but it isn't made for me.

CampyCamp. These are not "Rules" this is my opinion. Everyone has their own interpretations of scents and what they evoke and it's as simple as that really. This is why we have the options at the bottom of the page to voice our OWN opinions on what scents suit what style..ie..Summer Scents...Evening Scents..it's just opinions, not set in concrete.

Chill...

This scent just screams..OFFICE at me. It's the perfect scent for work at the office. Not too intrusive, clean smelling, lasts all day.
It's in the same vein as Truth for men by Calvin Kelin.

It smells slightly citrussy and slightly soapy. It's different from your run of the mill "MAN...AFTERSHAVE" scent. But it's a safe one...a safe bet for a present.

a little bit of citruses,a bit of woodsy notes and a bit soapy at the first sniff,it doesn't seem to be something at least at first 10 minutes.
now it has remained on my skin for 10 minutes and it's getting more intense.it smells like lemon candy mixed with cardamon.I like it better now,though still it's not something I go crazy for.
as the times passes it just remain as a typical cologne for men.I don't get any special note,it's just citrusy summer fragrance and it fades away soon.so what does the name contradiction mean here?I don't find any similarity with the name and the long lasting power is not good.

Both oriental and nippy.
Active and contemporary.

For a man who found a balance between work and family, cares about his look and good state of mind, who is not afraid of adversity and can surprise you with his ideas and attitude.

Very citrus, longevity but I'm using this one as a room spray cause to be honest, it's just too soapy.
