Truth (for women)

Belladonna

When I tested Truth by Calvin Klein, it didn’t catch my attention until hours later. I caught a whiff of my Truth-sprayed arm while lifting shopping bags out of the car. I was stunned by how good it made my skin smell. I bought a bottle a few weeks later. (My husband told me to buy a Calvin Klein fragrance because he likes the clean/fresh smell. We both like the name “Truth”.)
It doesn’t have a strong character of it’s own, so I have difficulty describing what it smells like. I smell bamboo, a bit of lemon, and soft floral-green. I wear it to work because it stays in the background and makes me smell good all day.

I think this one is a real piece of art! The descriptions below, like the one from annehke, are very good, so I won't repeat. I think it's very unique and special, the best from Calvin Klein and one of the best perfumes I know.

I just adore how the perfume begins fresh and spicy, so lively, clean. The scent combines pure flowers, and leafy green and grassy tones. Even being so crisp, the fragrance has dimension and depth with the vanilla, sandalwood, and amber, floating through and through. Truth has only a slight hint of sweetness towards the base. I am really enjoying it! Natural and clear and with a hint of the Oriental theme at the end. Hmm, perhaps even a "hippie" or "headshop" perfume is what I am thinking of now as I smell my wrist.
There is something fundamentally similar amongst the perfumes CK One, CKIN2U, and Truth, but I cannot pinpoint it precisely. It is something related to the changes and action over time of the fragrance and also how the middle notes mingle with the dry down.
I think Truth is stronger, more forceful than the other two, while still following this lineage of
CK design.

At first it smells to me a lemon and bergamot (quite slightly), pachouli and vetever (a bit more), but the most important and basic - the smell of white peonys and tree (such young sapling, wet after the rain), and fresh cut grass and white clover. But after a few hours on my skin it transforms into a gentle and sensual woody scent that blends with the skin perfectly.Сrystal clear as a truth must be.

A very interesting scent, even if too strong for me. I bought it in Ireland and that's why it reminds me of this country. And of my friend to whom I gave it than as a gift.. she really liked it. There is something fatal in this scent.. hard to describe, for her it is a great scent, since she is a very unusual, strong personality and individuality.

This fragance is so wonderful! I would want so much to own it!! But I've already tested it three times on my skin and the result is always the same: it disappears, all the beautiful woody musky notes, the sweet bamboo, the humid moss that evokes a soft rainy afternoon in a wood... all vanished, whereas they smell so strong on the strip of paper!! Maybe I will give it another chance, but it's so painful to assume that my chemistry is just not made for this lovely fragance. It is so natural, just as if someone had squeezed a whole forest to extract its essence. How many fragances try to achieve this but fail creating artificially green scents! If you like the notes of this fragance I recommend you to give it a try, maybe you will be more lucky.

I bought it today for a friend, decided to smell it and decided to keep it for myself!! It is an enticing deep scent!! very lush, pure..I cant quite explain it but it fits me like a glove!!! havent felt like that about a fragrance in a long long time!!
I thought I had had it as a mini , but I mistook it for Eternity..
right amount of green, it is a complex sophisticated scent...thumbs up to Calvin Klein on that one!

I must say this was an interesting and unique choice by Calvin Klein when they created this fragrance. I love that this scent is complex and forever changing from citrus to spicyness to freshness.

From the beginning the lemon note is very prominent and strong, with the notes of patchouli and bamboo lingering in the background. It takes a certain person to enjoy these top notes, preferably someone who enjoys their fruity/citrusy scents.

However the scent mellows as it transcends into the heart of the fragrance which is gentle, flowery and fresh. The feministic aspects of this fragrance are portrayed through the lushness of the lily, mimose and peony combined.

I detect a certain spicyness when I smell this in contact with my skin. This creates a warm and sensual scent which I rather enjoy.

The lasting strength is quite good and the packaging, although simple, is modern and tasteful.

Truth is a fragrance that will grow on you. The love might not happen after first sniff but give it a few more tries and you might be surprised.

I always recommend to people who are looking for an ageless,timeless fragrance to try truth.but to be honest I'm not a fan of it myself.
to me it smells very green and somehow smoky at the first sniff.not romantic,but casual and intimate and strong.
the second impression of the fragrance is warmer and more appealing.the woodsy notes are very strong and dominant.
it continues the idea of the line,without breaking the rules.I think it would be great for brunettes,but I have some chemistry problems with it.
I can summarize this perfume in the word "smoky".so if you smoke and you have tanned skin,it would be great for you.

I was really looking forward to "Truth", but I have to say it's not that great. "Euphoria" with a dash of Calvin Klein "One" and a drop of "Classique". It's a good fragrance, but not one that really stands out. Not special enough for me.

I have to say, that I tried it a couple of times, because I liked the advert and how it was made up. Not espacially for the notes. Like rainydaze said, people who like Omnia might also like this one, but for me this logic doesn't work. Omnia is richer and more special in comparison to CK's shelf warmer. It is rather green then woody and gets soapy on the skin. Furthermore it stays the same for hours. It doesn't change on me. So, I feel "bathed" in sth, which is not willing to correspond with me. It disturbed my nose everytime I got a hint from my sleves. A pity, because I wanted to like this scent so much. Maybe there are also different categories for "woody"? Eau des Merveilles can also be put together in that box with "green/woody/sharp" upon.

This was my favorite for the longest time, sniffing this brings to mind the deep, lush green woods after a rainstorm in early spring. Beautiful, raw and erotic in an understated way, and just plain wonderful. The best thing about it was that despite being a clean woody/green/musky scent, the scent lasted and lasted on my skin and clothes!! Unfortunately it's been discontinued. I think I know why. A year after my dad purchased the perfume for me, the potion in the bottle started to turn weird, the color got darker, and the fragrance changed from lush and fresh and sexy, to strong and acidic and stale. Before it started going stale it was the best perfume in the world for me...It smelt fabulous on my skin, and I was getting compliments everywhere I went, people were stopping me in the streets, both men and women...asking me 'what is that you're wearing, it's beautiful!'...too bad...I was told that Bvlgari's Omnia smells somewhat similar to this...will give it a try....

Im happy that i could test this one today, but im not sure how old the Test-bottle was, because the colour of the fragrance was yellow and not like in the pictures, so i think i must try it another time again. What i can say is that "truth" has a fresh and woody note which reminds me of woods and rain, but it has also a very cute maybe flowery accent. The lasting power is very good and i think its a good spring/summer fragrance.

Subtle sillage but longevity is great. I love this on a women's skin. Sexiness without shouting about it. 2 thumbs up.

Malegria

Amazing! I just received it as a gift and immediately tried it. It`s been on my skin for several hours now...What can I say? Pure as a tear...Starts with fresh citrus, then develops fast into the most delicious green scent ever - grass sparkling with dew, and all I can think about after that is crisp air in the morning...These green notes remind me of lily of the valley - so subtle and gentle! The base surprised me pleasantly - it is light and woodsy, I can`t detect the sandalwood, but feel the lily, peony and berries - at it`s utmost lightness.
How did I live without it before? makes me want to give away all my fresh scents!

This is so soft,so gentle, soooo lovely!!!Beside the woody I notice also some green notes

essija

This is a must have fragrance. I couldn't think of a better woodsy smell. It is very sexy and never overpowering. I love this stuff always have since it came out.. My favorite by CK.

I adore this perfume and so do everyone else that has a whift of it. elegant sweet, but totally sexy.

This perfume is waaaay underrated!!!! It is so sublte, yet has staying power. You simply must try it for yourself. It's everything a fragrance should be...and best of all it's never overpowering, yet a little goes a long way. It smells a bit powder, with a soft floral chord, as well as some musk, but yet it's light. Intoxicating...
