Truth For Men Calvin Klein for men

Bottle cool.
Smell clean.
Exclusivity excellent.
It is not to die for, but it's not totally failed.

A very fresh, albeit synthetic, grassy fragrance. Has a "bubbly" sort of feel, with the cool leafy-green note of basil in it. Lasts a decent while - about 5 hours on me. This one is my favorite so far of the Calvin Klein house.

I absolutely LOVE this scent. I'm a 22 yr old girl and I even give myself a little spray of it if I see it in shops. Bought It for my boyfriend for Christmas too! The smell is so addictive, really unique, nothing quite like it really. I'd never get bored of it, and it seems to last so much longer than any aftershave/perfume I've ever come across. I once knew someone who wore this scent all the time and I thought it was purely his own scent that smelt so amazing...until I recognised the smell at the duty free shops in the airport. I have had a few people comment that it seems quite unisex, so maybe its not the typical musky masculine scent that some may be after, but it drives me wild!

REVIEW OF DARRSHAN

I HAV NOTED THAT THIS PERFUME HAS ALWAYS GOT MIXED REVIEWS, BUT TIS IS FOR THOSE WHO LIKE GREEN AND FRESH FRAGRANCE, MY EXPERIENCE WITH AROUND 3 TRUTH BOTTLES IS THAT ITS VERY AROMATIC AND GREEN BUT FRESH SO I HAV ALWAYS GOT TONS OF COMPLIMENTS , THE LONGEVITY IS EXTRA ORDINARY, THE PROJECTION IS AWESOME, AND AFTER 3 HOURS IN SUN IT TURNS A LITTLE WOODY BUT WITH A FRESH AND GREEN HINT .

No doubt this is an aromatic fougere. If you enjoy the scent of fresh cut grass (that is the opening note). If you enjoy the soft woody smell of forest aromatics (that is your dry down). Projection is medium and this makes for one of the best office daytime fragrances. Longevity is amazing for a Calvin Klein fragrance (average 6-8 hours on skin and 10-20 hours on clothes). It is green and clean with an under warmth of the wood. This is definitely a mans scent, but is appropriate for any age range.

nice scent for summer days.not crazy about it.

I understand the hate this fragrance can evoke. The green in this fragrance can be strong to the point of bitter. I think the reason this happens is because the nose gets a little tired of smelling the watery greens up close. It smells strongly different up close than it does further away. Its a lot better for the people around you

I happen to really like/love this fragrance because it very accurately captures the smell of wet fresh grass in the top notes and then dries down to an aromatic-litely woody-outdoor-grass smell. I enjoy this fragrance when a cold front moves down over Louisiana and the temps drop to around 60 - 70 degrees. I put it on and go outside and it mixes so well with the pure northern air that's blowing. It is a great outdoors sent. I have a job working on a golf course, so it is perfect for what I do.

Its a pretty linear scent. Doesn't do to much changing, except for the woody water grass dry-down.

Should be an aromatic green.
Great outdoors scent.

Hate it. This one smells atrocious on me.too green..to mo dry and too ...something. I was waiting for the glorious white musk dry down.. But that didn't happen.. Here's the TRUTH about this one...the only thing great about this scent..is the color and bottle. Jeep. It. Moving.

I hate it, smells like wet grass in a bad way not fresh at all.

Edit
I give this cologne to my brother & he don't like it either, is to much green & to linear...

Go to the nearest mango tree (difficult task for the northern friends), get one leaf from the tree, and cut it, smell the juice that comes out from the inside, AND THAT IS EXACTLY THE SCENT OF TRUTH TOP NOTES. That is how green this scent is, amazing!.

I'll never understand why there are so many haters of CK colognes, you just have to look for the good ones (like this one, Obssesion (yes, I love it), Obssesion Night, Escape, Eternity and Contradiction). The same happens with those highly overprice fragances, 20% are good, the rest are crap (yes, I am talking to you CREED, LOL).

I really love this but it seem to smell like the fragrances used by middle-eastern people; the musky/sandalwood type of scented oils they use, if you get what I mean.

this reminds me of rainy season outdoor smell, i sniff somewhat like grassy, leafy, wet scent, and stays about 6 to 8 hours on my skin, perfect for everyday use!
i love its bottle too! very classy glass.

I don't mind this fragrance. I don't think I'd buy it again. It's a fresh scent and wears very lightly so I use when I get out of the shower, before I go to bed. My name is Mike and I APPROVE this review!

Ive had this for like 3 years and never touched it i smelling for the first time today i found this in my closet actuallym this is my first impression maybe ill do a full review on this later on but this is just the first impression.

Calvin Klein Truth for men.. First impression..

okay this is only a little 15 ml splash bottle,im gunna do the best i can, remember its a first impression..ok this smells like a different version of ck one the unisex bottle to me, just its more fresher i think its actually very different i like it, i think im smelling the patchouli and the cardamonm and the red cedar blended together it smells very nice i think thats what it is at the top, it smells very aromatic or herbal or green i cant put my toungue on it but its not like spicy its aromatic and calm or more of a casual smell i think,

ok so far with the top notes i love it, ill do a full review later on ;p

hope this helped!

This is definitely an aquatic fragrance, but I get a distinct pine note in the opening, which isn't listed. This is pretty dull imo.

The scent is the same like other CK perfumes for men. But this is the only CK perfume that lasts on me. Good!

Cool!
I think it's one of the best that CK's launched.
It opens herbal and green but misty or smoky! Evokes power and masculine attraction. Not sweet not sour and not bitter, just something well-blended in middle. Although I expected and harsh and annoying opening because of patchouli and pepper, it's not, it's soft and perfect from start.
Personally, I don't like its dry down and I wish I could hold its pattern. Scent a little bit changes but still on style, just not on my style.
Proper for any occasion, any weather specially mild sunny day on a vintage dress up.

longevity 9/10
sillage 8/10
scent 8/10

Hey, not bad!
Veeeeery fresh aquatic smell.
Using patchouli in the top AND base, I like that, Patchouli is fantastic.
This green, pure scent turns out more aquatic than anything.
Priceline have all Calvin Kleins for $40. I might have to go for that :-)
Perfect casual scent

I like this one. Patchouli is not heavy at all, and it comes on after it's been worn and exhausted all day. It's fresh (not refreshing), light, sweet, and green aquatic'ish. It's very wearable by anyone, and the bottle is cool and collectible! Somehow, the scent reminds me of Hugo Element or the CK Eternity Summer line. It's a great one to have and I am still looking for one at a good price.

You are right: fresh, green, wet, and grassy. I immediately liked on first aplication, and then all went down hill. By no means it is bad. It's really fresh and likeable. But with Z Zegna and even so Tommy Cologne as references, and liking very much Kenzo pour Homme that is a very different one, there is no place for Truth. The less masculine among the others I mentioned above, it could be an unisex, as missk said.

It smells like a fresh grass with herbs and a sweet flower notes. Not my type at all. More is like summer relaxing scent but I don't like the fact it reacts like a alcohol. When I wear a necklace and spray it, reacts and removes the color of the necklace and then I need to wash and clean my colored neck haha. Also I experience some problems with bugs they think I am a flower.

Sillage: weak
Longevity: five sprays and 15 minutes afterwards and I need to rub my neck half minute to feel just a little of the smell

Truth for Men is one of the nicest green aromatic scents around. Because it is so likable, I will not hesitate to place this fragrance into a unisex category.

This fragrance opens with clean and crisp 'metallic greens', with a subtle hint of pepper. The scent is rather fresh, although not overly Summery or too watery, it has substance.

Surprisingly this fragrance strikes me as being very natural, like the scent of grass on the floor of a forest and a man that has showered with spicy soap. Truth for Men is almost luscious and smooth.

It's not what I'd call particularly sexy, however on a man, it's very approachable. Through discovering this fragrance, I've realised that green scents work way better on men. Those grassy and earthy notes could suit practically any man, despite his personality, style or age.

The lasting strength of Truth for Men is great, as is the sillage, although not powerful, has a great projection. In my opinion this is the perfect choice for a man seeking a naturalistic, clean fragrance at a reasonable price.

just an update. went to SG last week. bought one. very happy to own this again. :)

Dont like this one, smells cheap.

great for summer nice very clean .i feel good all the day,attracting fragrance,smells so very natural

'Tell the truth, but always with a slant'...hence the shape of the bottle and the idea behind the scent.

According to cK's website this is still available in the US and the notes above are not what is in MY bottle. I(and anyone who has worn and enjoyed this fresh green wonder) can tell you that these are more like it:

TOP: bamboo,watery greens,tea leaves
HEART: basil,cardamom,green jasmine
BASE: sun musk,white patchouli,cedar...
and wacapou(Indian for pine)
(These are right from CK website)

TfM begins with an aqueous suspension of lush and green foliage, smooth, fresh and luminous. The initial accord fades but surrounds what follows with a verdant shimmer until the end. The aromatic basil (I love basil) is softened by cardamom's smooth warmth and these two notes blend in with the sexy clear jasmine like lovers in a menage a trois, innocent, curious and sensual all at once. The musk here truly smells as if the sun is shining on everything in this scent, and the patchouli (if any) is quite clean and lite. The cedar is there but in more of a background way and never overpowers our 'green lovers'. The wacapou (that took a while to find and define) is the green of the still living needles and not the wood or the pungent sap-smell of Christmas trees. If you are looking for something truly, naturally green (but not overly herbal) and watery(but not aquatic or caloney) this is the one for you.Despite the surprising lack of citruses Givaudan has captured 'fresh and succulent' rather well.

Simple and beautiful, like Truth itself, but with a slight twist, as if the truth is told but something has been held back to protect the feelings or innocence of someone you truly care about...

Sillage: good
Longevity: could be better
Overall: 4.75/5

This is a true wonder of modern perfumery in that it smells so very natural and pure but is composed of mostly synthetic components. This is the perfect synthesis of natural essences and man-made materials. The life of the scent is short-lived but as with all things in Nature, nothing lasts forever...

A very pleasant surprise at first!
A fresh and vivid green watery-citrused sparkle when out of the bottle, but it lacks more solid base notes to convey the scent deeper and longer (like vetiver, sandalwood or cedar) and what remains on the skin after moderate spray is a slight grassy-lime scent.
I miss pepper in the heart notes to give more body to this very good scent.
I liked Dune by Dior better, which was tried on the same day. It had the same vegetal opening with much more consistency and longetivity.

Smells so sexy and casual. I lovr this perfume from CK. Longitivity is excellent and it travells so very well

Another classic from cK.
Very green with subtle woody notes, and a little sour. But this sourness is not citric type, u know some plants have sour green leaves, so this is that kind of sourness.
It always gets me felt so fresh and cool.
Perfect summer scent.
Longevity and sillage is pretty well.
Nothing can beat this freshness!
I love it.
Btw it is the greenest scent I have ever encountered.

One of my favorites. It is fresh and green, but not in a fruity or candy, cloying way like other fragrances. Patchouli and Sandalwood go awesome together. It can be worn anytime and for any type of person. Worth a try for sure!! I will say lasting power isnt as good as others but its still great

Guys! Hello!
This is an American fragrance, okay?
Designed by an American and manufactured to specs by some random French (cheap) supplier. Most US designer label fragrances are just not up to European standards as they use inferior ingredients. Eternity is a very good American commercial scent and so are most Ralph Lauren's (better standard here).
I bought this one in Baltimore/Dulles Airport back in 2002 and loved it initial green opening but it has little staying power...one to forget about I am afraid to say.
The title should suggest a stronger scent but the composition of the fragrance itself is not too bad....

Very very green and herby - but it didn't grab me dunno why - gave this to a friend... Hmmm... I should have liked this.....why didn't I?

I usually dont like green scents and this is possobly the most green scent ever lol but i love it, the longevity is poor though and its getting hard to find now

One of the greenest, fruitiest things out there. I really like Truth, but to me it suffers in a way that almost all Calvin Klein frags do - it's just too weak and doesn't last very long. What is it with CK being so topical in dimension? Anyway, you get a very nice, fresh, bamboo and leaf vibe from Truth for Men. Give it 5 or 6 spritzes in the morning and it should last until lunch. Good for work or play.

This is a wonderfull all-purpose scent. Always fresh, and it lasts really long. If I had to choose one scent for the rest of my life, chances are it would be this one: It has bits of everything I like.

PS: It is mentioned below that this one was discontinued. It's not true. At least over here in Central Europe, you get it at every decent perfume-shop.

Truth is green, fresh and it last for well over six hours on clothing. When the idustry announced that it was pulling production, I stocked up. This is a life fragrance for me. It's the BEST of the CK house.

A surprisingly good fragrance from CK. As others have said, it comes off as "fresh", "green", "wet", and "grassy". A little sweetness balances it all out. Quite "modern" but not at all just another boring fresh scent. Too bad it was discontinued. Wish the longevity was a bit better.

I think it's the best from CK..and I don't understand WHY not as popular as good it is.
That's true it's not a complicated perfume. Simple,fresh,light green grass smell combined with some pepper and mild citrus note.

I don't know why,but it's a "twin brother" in my mind with Davidoff Silver Shadow Altitude.
I've found some similarity why I like both of them :-)
These are so relaxing scents for me if I have stressed days.

this is one of my favorites of all time. i have to agree that this is hard to find nowadays. sad.

Reviews have been pretty much spot-on. Fresh and energetic scent dries down nicely to a subtle clean and classy fragrance.

This is so far the BEST CK Men's fragrance I ever come across!!

It start with a very refreshing "bamboo" or "grass cutting" smell, then transform to a mild, nice green with hints of bit sourness, it is kind of wet forest scent! Amazing! It end with a very mild musky aromatic smell! I love to wear it to the office and casual dating. Lasting power is good on me, 4 hours +.

Truly amazing and attracting fragrance! The scent calm my busy day down and it kind of relax my nerve and mind giving me real peace and harmony feeling - magic potion for me!

Bootle design is really simplistic and modern looking! The story behind this ascending bottle design is something interesting!
" Tell all the truth, but tell it slant"

I think this fragrance is totally under-rated by the market, btw, I got info from some site citing that it has been discontinued. This is truly a legendary scent from CK after Eternity! I will give this 9.5/10, best in CK Men series!

i'd describe this as a green, wet, woody, and fresh scent.longevity is good on my skin, more than 6 hours, on my shirt it can last for 4-5 days.

perfect for a hot and humid day ;)

nice one!

green wet lush tropical forest. one of the few worthy scent from CK. the only problem is the spray. Crappy spray nozzle. Longevity is good on my skin. Can easily pass 4 hours.

Thinh Green. Think Fresh. Think cutgrass. Think watermist. This is it.
A keeper.

One of my absolute favorites for spring and summer. Unfortunately, it is getting harder to find.

Woody-aromatic.

Said to emanate of a man's body's warmth.

Strongly connected to nature - associated with a scent of rainforests. Enriched with manly herbal notes.

For a sensitive man who goes with the times not only in fashion, but also in the way of thinking about the world of today.

The simple glass bottle is ment to bring to mind a silhouette of a man in a relaxed, sensual position.

Very good! I like it.

ok very green, just so green. ot litrally smells like fresh grass, nice enough yet lacks complexity in my opinion. try it and you might like it, oh and decent amount of longetivty.

I've had strangers stopping me and asking what was the name of the cologne I was wearing on several occasions when I used TRUTH.
