Euphoria Men

Euphoria Men, I Love it. It May Not be Loud, But it has a Calm Presence about it We Don't always need to Scream out for attention, Sometimes a whisper is good enough to draw people close to You. A sweet Ambery, ginger and Suede fragrance that's Green Fresh yet also Warm and inviting. Girls Love it, and its one of the frags, that Is Light and Pleasant to those around you. The Lasting Power is around 6 hours on me and projects for like 2-3 hours on me. Its Not your Usual Line up of Big Sillage Monsters, but its Perfect to wear if you're going out with friends to a braai, to get a few drinks or to just spend the day with them and its even better if you're spending the Day with Your babes ;D Euphoria Men by Calvin Klein has got to be one of the Most Pleasing and appealing fragrances I've smelt in ages, it reminds me a lot of D&G-The One. It has that same Lady Killer vibe that isn't Over the Top and yelling, it is instead a calm sensually arousing fragrances that women appreciate as it smells Clean yet Warm like natural skin. An attractive smell that garners compliments despite its Lack of overt Power House Punch. Generic? Nope Its on a league of its own. I Love This fragrance completely it makes me feel alive, and energetic and it is crowd pleasing, no nasty comments or that its too strong and makes peoples heads ache or singes their noses. All in all I give this Stunner from CK a 9 out of 10. It may lack Longevity to some, but Trust me your Lover will drool when they get a whiff of this sensually seductive, yet light and Pleasant whiff of this Made for man Juice. Masculinity is Not always being brash and strong, its also about being a gentlemen who knows that sometimes quite seduction is a guaranteed trait women Love, and this fragrance just adds to that very appeal. Try it and see. You'll have Nothing but compliments from the Ladies.

An amazing scent. Yes, is not great on the sillage/projection department, but that doesn't mean the scent is not good. Is sexy enough so it can be used in a dinner for two, or at a date, but not in your face, so i can see it being used in business meetings and at the office. In my skin, is a light spicy, slightly herbal. The woody notes keeps it dry, and the amber note keeps it from being 'sport' fresh. I find it very sensual. Is manly and modern. Clean but sophisticated. The color suits it well. Is young, but not boyish. Is for that confident man who doesn't need his fragrance to enter a room before himself. You can smell him when you hold him, and you'll be very pleased by it. Is not unique (you'll probably get that 'i know this one' feeling), but is not that common either. The notes are VERY well blended, so there is no sharp notes. It stays close to my skin, and when the weather is a little warmer you can get whiffs of it with the breeze. Unfortunately it disappears from my skin after a couple hours (that's why i think is more appropriate for intimate dinners, dates or business situations). The lack of projection and longevity may be a bummer, but that should not keep you from trying this one. If you like it, you can find a place to use it. PS: It shares some similarities with the Intense version. Actually, the Intense version should be the original EDT, and this one could be sold as an Euphoria L'Eau, or a summer version (due to the lightness) UPDATE: i like to wear it at the gym, cause is not offensive, and keeps me fresh and slightly perfumed for the entire work-out session.

Immature individuals and fragrances do not go hand-in-hand. Wearing fragrance is (supposedly) to feel uplifting, smell mesmerizing and accentuate yourself. Different fragrances are formulated differently to wear on differing occasions and please people of differing characters. Unfortunately, immature individuals only look for flashy fragrances like One Million to garner attention for them. Fragrances are not for attention seekers. CK Euphoria is one such gem that is made for folks who appreciate and understand fragrances, like classic music. Like Dior Eau, CK Euphoria is subtle yet a unique fragrance for mature men who wants to smell good without making any public announcements. It is a personal fragrance to those who practise self-love, not a fragrance to those who practise narcissism. There is nothing wrong with the fragrance. It delivers its intended purpose. CK Euphoria is like a man of few words for men of few words!

This is one of the first fragrances I bought when I first started my collection and I didn't know what to expect at all when I tried it. I would say this is a sexy time and close encounter type of fragrance. It doesn't project a lot and it doesn't last very long but it smells really good though. It's really just an intimate fragrance and something you wear when you want to smell good for women I would say. It's a little too sexy for the office or for business purposes but you can where it casually or to parties. It's a great fragrance to have in your arsenal and I've grown to like it more and more. It's very pleasant and attractive. I love this fragrance and it's pretty easy to find. I see it at just about every discount store and online for good prices. It's a perfect date night fragrance.

I finally got a full bottle recently and it's honestly divine. It's not the most unique scent, but it just smells sooo clean. With this on I constantly smell like I just stepped out of the shower and put on some aromatic lotions. Like straight up those few minutes when you feel the most clean. It's prefect for the summer heat when you constantly feel gross. I haven't tested it in colder weather, but by the scent alone I think it would also work well for that. It's very fresh and clean but thanks to the spice and earthiness of the ginger it's not super summery. I have to note that neither with the tester nor the full bottle did I run into the longevity issue most people are talking about.

The sound of a fiddle can be heard in the distance. Why did this ginger snap say that to you? As you gaze into her lifeless eyes you turn to tuck your face into your leather jacket. The fiddle starts to play a more ominous sound as you re-adjust your perspective on life. The steam from the train peppers the air to the point of reconciliation. Life is a foggy dream. Memories were made from the future, not from the past as previously considered. As the fog and steam intestifies, the sound of the fiddle fades. It no longer matters why the beautiful ginger said what she said. For I move out of the womb and into the real world. The fog begins to clear.

I absolutely love this scent and it is a compliment monster, for about the first hour or two. Then its gone. This is perfect for a date, one night stand or bedroom fun, but almost useless for anything else a the performance is awful. Even with a dozen sprays, you are lucky to get 4 hours of longevity and it doesn't project after the first hour. But that first hour, women will be all over you because it smells fantastic. The Intense version smells nothing like it so don't get that thinking the performance is better. Its not.

Wow! So, I don't know why, some experience such short longevity with this fragrance! I tested this on my arm to see if I was going to wear it on 5/20/2022 to work. So, I got this new on 5/19, and sprayed it 5/20 and only a squirt came out! Then a full spray. I ended up not wearing it! But, when I got home from work Friday night, I could still smell it on my arm after Midnight, 5/21 12:08a.m. So this is for me, a Great Fragrance! 10-12hrs longevity, Honestly! A skin scent after time has expired! I Love It!...

I have 75 fragrances in my collection (6 niche) and no fragrance has grown on me more than Euphoria. When I first purchased it as a body spray, it was very meh, but I wore it regularly because it was the only body spray I owned. After a month it became clear I had to buy a bottle. I know it's fashionable to crap on Calvin Klein fragrances because they are inexpensive and their performance is almost uniformly awful, but I just love the smell of Euphoria and believe it's one of the best scents I have run into.

Scent is so subjective because I see so many people saying this is a basic drug store fragrance & maybe it is, but to my nose it is one of the top 4 or 5 fragrances I have ever smelled and I own almost 200 fragrances. I love the way the ginger works with the pepper and find this incredibly refreshing & perfect for spring. My only concern is the performance which is embarrassingly weak. Such a shame because I adore this even if others don't.

A masterpiece scent by CK, imo. I think the scent is easily likable, no way you won't like it. Best ginger perfume ever. But it's too linear from opening to drydown you'll get that ginger scent all the way. Been using this since 2009. Performance too not that bad. I got scent lingering around even after 5 hours mark with 7 sprays. A must try, like seriously! With the price so cheap, this would be my scent at home with my wife & kids.

Still one of my favorites and still overlooked and underrated by many in my opinion. I use to wear this scent a lot in my early 20’s when I was seeing a lot of girls and had nothing but great compliments on it. It’s very intimate and sensual but yet mysterious. It has such a nice masculine sexy smell and I would highly recommend it if you plan on getting real close to a girl. It really brings something out in the bedroom.

I don't understand the negative reviews for this. This is a very good fragrance. Smells fresh and sophisticated. I'll not discuss the notes coz it's done to death but the profile is fresh, spicy, citrusy, woody aromatic. I feel this can be worn in the summer coz it has that out-of-the-shower vibe to it. Longevity is average but it is heavily discounted anyway so spray away.

I guess I lucked out, this stuff stays and projects off me for several hours! I was skeptical because reviews, but wow for the price I'm impressed! Most people will like this scent on a man. It's a matter of staying power and projection. For me, I lucked out and 6 hours is what I got. Sample it! It's worth $35-$45 if your chemistry reacts well to it. Love it!!

This fragrance is an enigma wrapped in a schizophrenic. One day it melts my heart and makes me weak because it smells so darn refreshing and soft. On another day it makes me feel repulsed and nauseous. Now I just can't bear this fragrance. It singes my nose hair with alcohol. Just - just let down. Avoid if you can.

This fragrance has very little to no sillage. You can spray 10 sprays on yourself and someone will have to stick their nose an inch away from the area you sprayed the ten sprays to smell it. It smells ok....very light fresh spicy scent ....but like I said , no one will smell this on you.

Powerfully delicious opening, and stable enough to stay similar to the head notes for a good 6 hours on me. It was one of my first signature scents around 8 years ago, now I cant quite smell it anymore, its very subtle and will stay a good memory but I wont buy it again.

A little fizzy and spicy off the opening then dried down to a clean soapy fresh scent. Love the opening and like the fact the drydown is an easy wear. One of my "office" workhorses and I get decent longevity (5+ hours) with average projection.

ive still got a little left of this juice from a bottle of 2006 that i found in my dads bathroom. i think this scent is an absolute gem. great all round fresh attention grabbing fragrance that won't offend anyone.

This is a classic, safe to wear pretty much everywhere at all times and with a great price. You can definitely smell it but you don't get overwhelmed. I like this over ADG

Even tho it's weak it's such a good men's cologne it's not super generic it's solid. Perfect for starters nobody nearby smelling you could dislike this

i have to add to my comment below that the performance is extremely good on this old bottle. its a shame about the newer reformulations being so weak

I was given this perfume as a gift , went to the store to look for something new and i really couldn't find something better smelling than this

Tried this next to Acqua Di Gio Parfumo , and it failed ADG in terms of uniquness to my nose , again a very understated beast .. I love it !

Now THIS is a male scent. I wouldnt call it sexy but alluring, seductive, and clean. My girlfriend loves it.

Smells like when you walk into a hotel room for the first time, very nice and cheap

Ofthe 120+ ftagrances I have , this is the ONLY one my wife likes.

Euphoric opening indeed. Gorgeous scent. Nothing wrong with it.

Very sweet and soft. Perfect wear for the winter.

y_u_u Hasn't got a clue what hes talking about.

is good for office or at work is great

Calvin Klein Euphoria Men was one of my first fragrances that I got. I think I had 10 or so at that point. I smelt it on a card first walking through a Macy's before going into Sears and picking it up. This was roughly six years ago. It is a bit different than most fragrances. Euphoria Men is very woody and very aromatic. It is not citric at all and instead opens with a ginger and pepper heavy open. That said, the pepper is NOT Sauvage or Villain like, and a little more subdue, thank God. Euphoria then goes into a cedar heavy mid. The base is a bit ambery and redwoody too. I previously said that note wise, this doesn't work for me, but I now realize that was me thinking it earlier in my journey. Euphoria Men I feel is a Calvin Klein take on Fierce. Now it isn't one to one by any means at all. Fierce has fir up top and musk in the base that Euphoria does not have. That said, both have a similar feel and do something similar. Both become a sexy second skin. Dior Homme 2020 also is similar-ish to Euphoria Men, but has a Dior sprayer and is a hot rod engine put inside of a normal mid-level sedan. Without trying and enjoying Euphoria Men, I would get to try two of my favorite fragrances, Dior Homme and Montblanc Legend Eau de Parfum. Euphoria Men's problem is performance. A common issue with Calvin Klein is performance. Euphoria Men has rather low sillage. At the time Euphoria Men launched, Fierce was a hot rod engine itself. Euphoria Men also doesn't last. It lasts about four hours on my skin. Euphoria Men I think works day or night from spring to fall. I cannot say winter due to the performance issues. I can see Euphoria Men working in a work setting, casual and yes, dates. It is a perfect close quarters scent. That said, if you want a more club ready version, get Montblanc Legend Eau de Parfum. Overall I think I have to rate Calvin Klein Euphoria Men an even 7 out of 10. Before I found Dior Homme and Montblanc Legend Eau de Parfum, I would be asking for a Euphoria Men that is stronger. Gold takes the DNA in a sweeter direction and that is the only Euphoria flanker I've gotten my nose on.

This was given as a gift to me one year and I rarely use it--as others have said it isn't because I dislike the scent (I like it) I just have better options for almost any occasion. It opens with strong ginger and pepper, and I enjoy both. While I wouldn't call it "euphoria" I would say there is a warm, uplifting sensation brought on by the initial shock of the pepper and the intensity of the ginger. The sage and cedar come through nicely to create an herbal wooden aroma that reminds me of fine incense. It is very warm and earthy, but not too spicy after it dries. It is masculine but could probably be marketed as unisex. This isn't a bad thing, it is just more neutral than other CK men's fragrance (Shock, Obsession Night, ect.). Slightly synthetic as it dries, but not as bad as ambroxan-based fragrances that I use. The problem, as others have noted, is that this spray has next-to-no longevity or projection. This is a strict blend-into-the-background aroma. It would be a good scent for the home or office if it lasted longer. After two or three hours it is pretty much gone. Some of it lingers directly on the skin for awhile longer, but it won't get you past lunch. There are a few times one might want to reach for this--perhaps if you have a shower before bed and want to put something on while you wind down. After the pepper and ginger dry off the sage and cedar are very relaxing, and it expires quickly so you don't smell it as you sleep. It is also useful for formal occasions where you want to smell good for a few hours but not try and get attention (an interview, maybe a funeral). Overall: Not recommended unless you got it as a gift, and then only if you only need it to work for the length of a feature-length film. But still a nice, fresh scent.

Pros: - Sweet soft scent - Inoffensive - Has a calm seducitve scent to it - Very nice peppery blend - Not overpowered by wood notes - Basic and simple notes that are constant - Works well for the office or dinner out - Works well for a younger age group Cons: - Sillage is extremly poor, only you will enjoy it - Longevity is extremely poor - 30 Minutes to climb through notes then will fade even faster until 60 minutes when its gone (all this on a good day) - Constant reapplication will drain bottle and become expensive quickly - Doesn't work well on a more mature type Calvin Klein always seems to have a longevity and sillage problem. It never lasts as long or projects as far as you may want. When it comes to Euphoria, it is no better. It doesn't last long enough to reach "Euphoria". The general scenario is: You are getting ready for a date, put some CKE on trying to smell good (Peak for 5-10 mintues), you get in the car/on the bus (Drydown for 15-20 minutes), you get the restuarant and CKE is already ready to pack it in for the night as at about 30 minutes it nosedives to nothing. It smells great, don't get me wrong, but that really doesn't do a whole lot when nobody can enjoy it within the 30 mintue time frame. Also they need to be right intimately close to you to actually detect it. I want to say that I love it, but I can't because it is a letdown. I do not recommend buying this on the basis of longevity and sillage alone.

Calvin Klein Euphoria is a bit ubiquitous and easy to obtain at a discounted price (since it has been around awhile), but I am more than willing to recommend it. I call it my “spa” fragrance. I always pack a bottle of this in my bag when heading off to relax and rejuvenate because it just seems to produce those effects for me. In fact, if I am just feeling tired or distracted a spray or two of CKE returns me to composure. CKE is not an attention grabber. It is a minimalist wood-leather composition with a subtle oriental arc meant to induce a sense of well-being and compliment the Calvin Klein fashion aesthetic. I like everything about this elixir: the ginger-pepper opening is assuaged by black basil and sage (members of the mint family) and figure into the liberation of the amber, cedar, and Brazilian redwood in a most pleasing way. After awhile, I am left with a Zen-like aura of mild woody suede and patchouli. The last phase stays close to my skin a long time and is very calming. Some folks insist Calvin Klein sold out and, yes, there are esoteric fragrances which will take you to a higher place, but I have obtained a lot of pleasure from the very accessible CKE and his intense brother. (That’s a story for another day!) If there are a few synthetic molecules in the room they don't seem to bother me.

I was wrong in my original review of Calvin Klein Euphoria Men. At first I thought it smelt like Obsession for Men but it is something else though they are aromatic woody spicy scents that are different but similar enough. Though I do find that Euphoria Men and David Beckham Homme are fairly similar and closer than I thought it was to Obsession Euphoria Men is an interesting scent. I find that Euphoria performs differently during summer than during spring and fall. Spring and fall, it is a day time scent through and through but with some nighttime flexibility. In the summer however, it is a night time scent plain and simple. Note wise Euphoria Men don't really work. It is pretty much a mix of spices and woody notes and that's it. Beckham Homme however is a more complicated Euphoria with better notes. I'll give it a 6.8/10 for flexibility with the seasons and also a nice length of smell (about six hours give or take depending on activity) and ok sillage. The main issue is the scent to me. As I mentioned, Beckham Homme has done what Euphoria Men is but better and cheaper.

Recently, I've been going to Marshalls and TJ Maxx and walking straight to the men's fragrance section to see if i could find any hidden gems or interesting deals on colognes I've been wanting to get. Every time I do go I always see a bottle of Calvin Klein Euphoria and since it was really affordable at $20 for a 3.4 oz/ 100ml, I decided to pull the trigger on it. After a couple of days of testing this fragrance on myself i can safely say that this is a nice clean fragrance but there is nothing special here. Its not a head turner or a compliment magnet but it does give off a clen fresh vibe. To me its not a dumb reach fragrance for going out but it has turned into a dumb reach for after a shower and just lounging at home. I have put this one in my gym bag and its perfect to spray on after hitting the showers after a long workout. I will be purchasing the intense version and ill let you know if its any better. Scent: 6/10 Silage: 6/10 Longevity: 5/10 Duration: About 3 hours Season: ALL Occasion/ Time of day: Casual/ ANYTIME Overall: 6/10

This is an interesting one, I feel Enigma is a better name for it than Euphoria. On me, it smells rather smoky and a little sweet in its dry down, it sits very close to the skin and it has a rather average performance, yet on one of my colleagues it smells absolutely glorious, almost like a bowl of fruit with sugar drizzled over it, intoxicatingly sweet. I think it’s very interesting that the same scent from the same bottle can smell so different on 2 different people, ugh, chemistry. It is a nice fragrance though, it’s very Calvin Klein, it suits almost any season and night or day, so for an every day scent that you want to wear to just feel fresh, this ticks all the boxes. The price is very attractive but at the same time the performance shows its price, you’ll definitely find yourself reapplying this multiple times through the day. As far as Calvin Klein fragrances go, it’s a winner. I would love to know if anyone else finds such a drastic difference in the smell from person to person.

Euphoria by Calvin Klein for Men- This fragrance is a subtle, mild spicy green scent. As I journey into the minutes after the initial sprays, I am struck with a barbershop-like/ older 80s cologne vibe. This combined with an oriental like spice, and strong pepper. This quickly dies down to a light, basic DNA found in many other colognes from the mid 2000s, but with the added spicey pepper note. Asked Fiance what she thought, and she said "Extremely subtle, smells like Florida." Silage is null and void after an hour. So take that as you will. This is a great blind buy for any age group, has a definite masculine vibe which is great. If you want something that has strong mass appeal DNA but with a unique twist of pepper and spice, this just may be your fragrance. If you are looking for a sexy girl magnet, this is not it. Overall I could see this as a traveling or car ride type close quarters scent.

I enjoy this fragrance a lot. I first bought it in 2006. For various reasons (life), I went from 2010 - 2019 not wearing cologne at all. Then in 2019, I saw a bottle of Euphoria for cheap and grabbed it. It wasn't my favorite scent in 2006 (which was Chanel Pour Monsieur EDT Concentree), and it isn't in my top 20 scents now. But I do like it very much and there's a time and place for cologne that quietly whispers in the background. I can smell it easily when I wear it, but the projection and longevity are short for a designer. Pretty linear scent, but I'm good with that. Ginger and pepper, followed by ginger and pepper, with more ginger and pepper after that. I catch whisps of the other notes here and there, and it's always a pleasant thing when I do. When I want a stronger, sweeter version of this, I use Euphoria Intense instead, as it has the same ginger pepper but amps up the amber.

A wonderful, inoffensive, semi-freshie. Geared a little more towards colder weather. I wouldn't wear in hot summer days. Ginger, pepper, amber, a little woodsy-herbal. I wore this to work a lot in the past two years. It smells sophisticated. Maybe just a little mature but anyone can definitely wear it. To me, it smells a lot like Dolce and Gabbana The One EDP but a little less sweet amber and more fresh spicy. When I have worn this to work, people told me they thought I was wearing Gucci or Curve. This stuff performs amazing for me. I don't see how it scores so bad in the performance category. Maybe I just got a one of a kind bottle? Lol. It's been 12 hours since I've sprayed it on and I can still smell it. I've gotten so many compliments at work. It projects awesomely and for around 6 hours then starts coming closer. I love this fragrance and I will always have it.

I like this fragrance, but I don’t love it. It smells pleasant. It has a fresh herb/spice opening and on my skin it settles into woody and basil like smell with that amber note. Overall nice, but it smells a bit middle of the road and there is nothing that will make you stand out wearing this. I think this is a scent for all age groups and its better suited to spring and early summer in a neat causal setting like having lunch with friends. I wouldn’t wear this at work in an office setting. Definitely a masculine scent. Its good to apply it after a quick shower and on the go. It’s longevity is on the weak to moderate side, but it does project adequately until it starts to die off after 1-2 hours. It’s a good price and a safe blind buy, but I would probably explore other scents before buying this one again.

My first fragrance, this is like spring/fall in a park, under the trees. No sweetness at all, spicy-fresh with a suede undertone on my skin. Very calm, easygoing fragrance, I feel like a chill guy whenever I wear it. I quite like it as a smell honestly, this is my favourite CK fragrance I've smelled. However the performance is, much like any other CK fragrance, very much below average. Seriously, they gotta be doing it on purpose right? They release a ton of fragrances and only 2-3 of them are only average performers, rest are utterly weak. Of course, not every fragrance needs to have monstrous sillage and longevity, but these are too weak to really be used for most situations. I can spray it before leaving home for work, and it is barely noticeable 1 hour later when I enter the office.

Ex-girlfriend bought me this as a gift. She said she sampled many other colognes and liked this one the best. I liked it too, so I'd DOUSE myself in it before going out with her. This went on for months. One day she came over and saw that the bottle was half empty and was happy that I had been wearing it. But here's the thing: I would only wear this when I was with her, and I'd literally do 12+ sprays of this stuff before going out. NOT ONCE did she ever say anything! I suspect she never even smelled it on me! In retrospect, I should have sprayed it on my clothes, or I should have left the cologne at her place and then BATHED in it before we made sweet sweet love. It was so nice I had to say it twice. The end.

I love this fragrance, my guilty pleasure and secret weapon. A scent I can smell and smell and not get bored. A bit nondescript but that's its strength too, as it makes it a great everyday scent. It has a lot of similarities to Bleu De Chanel in its profile: a clean, everyday scent, and in its mood: an uplifting positive snuggly vibe. It's sweeter than Bleu though, and that's a good thing. Where Bleu is a bit airy which gives it a laundromat feel, this one has a sweetness that finishes it off well. Performance wise, it is not amazing. Certainly doesn't project. I do find it lasts long-ish as a skin scent though.

I forgot this cologne existed. I was in the post office and this arabic girl was saturated in it to the point a line up full of people could smell it. This is what people should get instead of that overpriced Jay Z one. It's similar to the David Beckham signature cologne no one probably remembers as well. what can I say it doesn't last very long. fresh and spicy describes it to a T but there is a bit of sweetness to it when it fades away. It doesn't fill a room unless you bathe in it like that woman in the post office line did. I got bored of this one and gave it to someone to make room for something else.

I can't say I don't like it because it doesn't bother me, is just OK for ordinary time. I have some favorites from CK, this one won't be one of them. It worth the 12 dlls I paid for a small 1oz bottle to sample it only but won't be buying it again. As I am wearing it today for the first time I was thinking I'd be more impressed with it but I am not, I can tell it won't last long because it's been an hour I sprayed it on and is totally close to the skin already and no comments or compliments so far, so I guess it has not been noticed. . Is a good fresh scent for the normal morning routine.

This used to be my signature scent back in 2006 and I loved how it smelled. I recently bought a new bottle and the performance and the scent itself is nowhere near as good as it used to be. I can barely smell it anymore. I prefer the smell of my old bottle but I think this formulation makes this fragrance more wearable to the office. Is very safe and is not overpowering, you can definitely go heavy on this specially in the hot weather. Is also very affordable now on the discounter websites so 8 to 10 sprays with additional applications throughout the day should not be an issue.

I agree with most people here that Euphoria has weak longevity and soft sillage but personally I think this is a good scent. I found the scent is quite pleasant in beginning of fall weather where temperature is around 60-70. I like the way the spices play out so soft and smooth. The scent is not a bold statement that gives you strong impression like many other spicy scents, it's more delicate and polite. It's very suitable for young guy in their 20s, where you are still young but more responsible, start to drift away from the popularity but not quite have your own style yet.
