Man

On first take, for a flash of minute, this looks like a retread of the already well-trodden Dior Fahrenheit model, with that burst of gasoline violet mingled with citrus that the top notes promise. But, in no time at all, at least on my skin, this mutates into a thoroughly American spearmint bubblegum, with only distant spars of spice that linger before settling into that summery, nutmeg kissed calone that is familiar to anyone taking the sun by the pool in the wherever US. The violet returns towards the end, like a distant echo, from a bed of warm, familiar woods. In short, those anchoring for Fahrenheit are better off with Mercedes-Benz Intense. This is billed to Gottlieb but both Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, behind Acqua di Gio and L'Eau d'Issey, and Harry Fremont, he of CK One and lots and lots of Lauren, had a say in this, and it shows. Is it commercial, not niche in any way? Of course it is. Original? Arguable, if you like losing debates. Is it strangely enjoyable? Well, any kid who has taken pleasure from chewing mint flavored gum on a warm summer day, grass waving in the wind, would not think twice about the answer to that. Is it a great value? No kidding.

I feel as though this is the perfect scent to wear any time, anywhere, any season. I guess the rather broad name "Man" is apt considering how versatile it is. I'd happily wear this day or night, summer or winter, casually or on a date. The top note is rather sweet, in the base I could really smell juicy apples, the dry down is rather masculine. It is a little reminiscent of Calvin Klein Eternity but it seems more mature and a little less summery. Longevity for me was pretty good, reapplied after about 4 hours, sillage is good too. Nice price at $29.99 for 100ml here in Australia. It has the potential to be a signature scent and would make the perfect gift for a gent, I think every kind of man could wear this. I love it!!

If it was 1987 now, I would say it is one of the best scents ever. But in 1988 Fahrenheit came out and there is no place for the obvious copies on my shelf. I will consider it only if Dior discontinues Fahrenheit...never I hope. EDIT...since my firs review I started to like this perfume more and more to the point where I bought it EDIT 2...I changed my mind about this one again :) I swear if you take violet away and put little bit more woods/pepper this is Gucci por Homme. Actualy I think this is lighter and softer version of GpH. I still like the original Gucci better, but i think CK Man can be worn in more situations. The longer I have it more I like it.

I have a unique obsession with this cologne as it was the scent my husband used to wear when we first started dating. It still gives me butterflies whenever I smell it on him - having beautiful scents linked to wonderful memories is one of the best feelings on earth. There isn't too much special with this scent, very basic men's fragrance with woody and spicy notes and a hint of freshness. I would imagine this to be good for a young man, perhaps a teenager who is just starting out with their scent collection. I think it is an excellent basic staple, it is non-offensive and smells very sexy and masculine.

I differ a little bit of some comments below whom didn ́t mention the masculinity and spicy blend in this CK fragance, it might be true that is not a classic CK aroma, it isn ́t either the best aroma of this designer, But It is fresh and innovative. It ́s definelity a manly original fragance for any time and place. The opening is quite herbal, but as soon is drying it become more woodden and citric as well. I just adore Man of CK. Please before you discard the decision of buying Man CK, give yourself the opportunity to try at least once this aroma.

Calvin's best male fragrance. Perfect smell & quality while his other fragrances usually are very poor quality. I simply adore it but I love both violet leaf & cypress. This one will not be for you if you don't like those notes for they are the only ones you will smell. I really cannot smell any amber, incense nor nutmeg. An absolutely perfect aromatic violet fragrance. Quality also is perfect. A quality Calvin's fragrances is not known for.

For some years, CK Man was my daily office fragrance since it's fresh opening, friendly nutmeg heart note, and easy to wear woody and musky based note. I still keep 2 bottle, the older one is made in US, sweeter and more citrusy. Another bottle is made in France, woodier and less sweet.

This, now a classic, is fragrance which is great to start (and use it occasionally) with designer fragrances. Its aura is good, moderate longevity and it will keep the feel of cleanliness all the time. Good fragrance for all ocassions and ages.

At the first spray, you can really sense the woody notes in here. It was really great! It's a little bit spicy but not overpowering. Did anyone notice that in every woody scent, they have the same scent molecule that is similar to each other?

Perfume absolutely wonderful. It smells wonderfully well. It is certainly one of my favorite perfumes. The longevity and projection are impressive. And to top it off, a perfume is something unique. What more can you ask for in a perfume?

This smells soooo goooood! I can smell the violet leaf, ROSEMARY, bay leaf, MINT, CYPRES and sandalwood. It also has an incense effect, which I really like. Not a really big fan of the drydown, but it's giving seductive

Its actually beautifull, the spicy citrus, cinnamon and wood hits u all at once in a very fresh and masculine way. Its really a perfect every day frangrance in every season besides summer. Solid 7/10 for the price.

close encounter fragrance gorgeous smell with hint of black pepper ideal for cold weather in casual day or date this fragrance for gentleman not bad boy vibe longevity better on clothes rating 8

This was wonderful! If you miss this discontinued delight, just buy Abercrombie & Fitch's First Instinct Extreme, as it's the exact fragrance to me anyways.

This perfume is unique! It has a unique scent that I cannot find anywhere else! it's really mysterious I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE IT, no, I LOVE IT!

بوی خیلی خوبی داره. یه جورایی خاصه. اما ماندگاریش خیلی کمه. در حد 2-3 ساعت. ضمنا پخش بوش هم ملایمه و کسی رو آزار نمیده. عمدتا مورد پسند همه قرار می گیره

This is definitely a dark fragrance. And yet this is a transparent fragrance. A rare combination, and that is what I like about this one.

Outstanding fragrance. Dry down is so beautiful, reminds of a peaceful summer sunset. Very masculin. Great for office + casual wear.

i love it when i smell it on my husband. its so man-like. absolutely favorite. this smell make me feel safe.

Great fragrance, longevity and projection are average. Perfect for a date.
