I had this fragrance several years ago when I was a teen. I loved the aroma it let off. I remember it being a pretty good summer scent for a younger age group, with its sweetness and grassy/citrus feel. Overall a 7/10

I think this is good for a younger man, quite a light, sweet/spicy fragrance. It doesn't last overly long. I think it would be good for summer. I see it is classified as an aromatic fougere - I would never have thought it to be so.

It's weird, but I once had dried starfish hanging in my classroom (I am a teacher) and they started to smell unpleasant, so I sprayed them with a cheap knock-off fragrance I had (I think it was called Ivanof Waterman - a Cool water copy, I think). Anyway the unpleasant smell was taken away, but there was still an aquatic element detectable. I remember the smell of the starfish after I sprayed them and it is very much like what Crave smells like. Now that probably makes it sound more unpleasant than it really is. It is not a bad fragrance. The bottle is pretty cool, my class think it looks like a sarcophagus (we're studying Ancient Egypt at the moment).

Very light scent that has no character at all. Recommended for 8-10 if that age range ever use a fragrance!

Fresh and citrus. Very simple. Got it as a gift from a godfather of my son, this is the only reason I keep it. Chemistry is not good for me - immidiatelly got head-ache.

I just tested a sample I got with an order last summer. I applied lots all over one arm and wrist so I could get a good, long whiff.

I like it. It is certainly fresh and spicy, with pepper sprinkled all over the opening and heart. There is light Bergamot, but the citrus is not overdone. To me, the pepper helps to hide that 'sea-shore' smell in the background that most Aquatic's have.

I'm testing it in the winter, the air is cool and dry inside, and the scent carries good sillage for an aquatic. After a very enjoyable beginning, it starts to become an 'ordinary' designer scent, which is not a bad thing.

After almost an hour the base is what's left, although the pepper stays around in the background. The dry down is a Spicy-Woody Musk. Very clean. Longevity is on the short side.

I like it, would like to own it, and would recommend it. It doesn't move me to the point where I have to run out and buy it right away. Just expect to get a nice everyday scent in CK Crave, very nice.

Start of this scent is very good. It's fresh and interesting. I don't like end of this scent, I smell too much salt!

very ordinary like anything else calvin klein. sampled it a few times when it first came out but found it too simple. the only good thing is the bottle.

Crave is discontinued :P It's too plastic. A plastic grass scent. I hate this. I also hated the guy in Crave poster. However, I like the Bald guy in D&G Maddyrain :))

An interesting bottle, totally plastic, just like its content. I once loved it, but its too modern and synthetic smell is kind boring after awhile...

I have just bought it for my boyfriend. I liked very much the bottle, and when i smelled it was fresh and like fruity on the testing paper first smelled like escada sunset heat, but then i tried on my own skin and its not very sweet on me, but probably its different with mens chemistry.
Its sporty and fresh and perfect for summe, i like it very much and i hope he will like it too

It's sweet, but enought for a boy. It's perfect for young boys or active men. It's sweet but fresh and modern. This perfume has attitude.
