Defy

Not sure why this one gets so much hate online from reviewers for being “generic”. Generic isn't the word I would use to describe this. I would describe it as familiar. Has a lot of popular notes that stand out that are very appealing. This may come off as “generic” to some but to me it’s far from it. It’s not complex by any means but this is 100% a good no-think-and-grab pick when you just want to spray something good that smells great. Compliment-wise, I don't know because I've never received complaints on anything I wear. Where I live, everyone is self-centered and self-absorbed; no one is going out of their way to compliment you here, but I digress. Honestly, if you're looking for an easy-to-wear blue fragrance, grab this. It’s a safe blind buy as well, and I’ve smelled a lot of frags; this one stands out. It’s just very familiar.

I bought a 200ml bottle for £26 on ebay uk and here are my thoughts. Obviously Eau de Parfum is a level higher and is actually a fantastic blue/leather scent. My hopes were quite low about EDT but it turned out to be a great dumb reach blue spicy generic designer scent. Staying power is quite low but it projects nicely. I always use 10-ish sprays when I'm out to grocery shop etc. It gives me a nice masculine scent bubble. Presentation is very sleek and clean, atomiser is good so If you need an easy cheap designer scent for every season you may consider Defy edt. I'll say again Edp is fantastic this one is decent

While this is definitely a simple fragrance, I personally enjoy it a lot. I wear this at my job and it lasts well into my 10 hour kitchen shifts. The lavender scent is very nice without necessarily being overpowering. Definitely a great pick for a cologne you can use in everyday life (work, hanging with friends, etc)

A synthetically fresh opening leads into a soft, slightly rubbery fougere that could have been inspired by inspired by Masculin Pluriel. Synthetic briney marine freshness lends it lift through its development. Quite a good outing for Calvin Klein, far better than the subsequent flankers

I love this fragrance. Has good performance, smells very modern with a blueish touch. Some people hate on it and have their reasons and I respect that but for me the house scored with this and I’m happy to have it and wouldn’t mind backing up a bottle because it’s that good to me
