Reveal Men

This was one of my first fragrances. I think it was the fifth I bought actually. It is a very nice scent. For the longest time I thought Calvin Klein Reveal Men smelt like Gucci Guilty pour homme (a deleted review of mine has that sentiment) but it is a better developed version of that scent honestly. This is a much more gourmand leaning Gucci Guilty. I think Gucci Guilty has slightly better initial projection but the longevity is longer on this one. I get about six to maybe seven hours while Gucci Guilty, I'll get about five in ideal conditions. Reveal Men is nearly an all seasons scent except for really cold nights or really hot days. In really hot days it can get cloying while on cold nights it just doesn't work out for whatever reason. It performs really well during all day wear during fall and spring but can still work during Arizona winter days at about 10 AM when it heats up or summer nights that aren't still 80 degrees or hotter after sunset. Now for the smell, it's a gourmand. Gourmands will smell sweet for the most part. The only gourmand that isn't sweet that I came across is Rocawear Evolution which is dark with a mix of rum and bitter coffee as oppose to coffee with sweetener. I get the cotton candy scent from this, not Invictus. Because of that, I can see why most people don't like it. I however do like it. Reveal Men is really good for dates. It may not be super masculine, BUT it will smell good on you. Despite the slight booze in the open, it is good for work setting. Edit: Before I give my rating, for some weird reason, I smell parts of two Playboy fragrances in this fragrance. I smell Playboy New York as it dries down from its Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce style open and Playboy VIP due to the booziness of its rum note (in comparison to Reveal's brandy.) This is a bit of a knock on the scent since I can find it elsewhere in two other scents albeit not quite the same. Overall, CK Reveal Men is nothing to really sleep on. It is something unique and different, even in the gourmand realm for men. It is an aquatic gourmand. I rate it an 8.5 out of 10. It would be higher if it didn't compare directly with Playboy fragrances. Thankfully too many others are sour on this scent due to the sweetness, making it is somewhat different and fresh in that regard.

I bought this fragrance as a gift to my friend who got a doctorate, but his son, who Studying in the university took it, and told his father this perfume for young people and does not suit your age. Obviously, this talk is to win this wonderful fragrance . We are now going to describe the fragrance and talk about the smell to see Is my friend's son words: True or not. The fragrance opens with a group of fruity scents, from which watermelon and pear stand out, a beautiful refreshing smell, and it lasts long, but its voice becomes low after that. As for the heart, it has a green and herbal smell. I learned from perfume websites that it belongs to a plant called Agafe , but this smell disappears and does not last.As for the base, I smell tonka bean, but the strange thing is that I picked up the smell of tonka bean from the beginning of the fragrance, but in a light way, and then it grows to be the strongest smell with touches of amber. Tonka bean and amber make the fragrance sweet, but thoughtfully and balanced with a refreshing fruity scent, and this mixture I did not find in any other perfume. So it is a unique fragrance. The sweet trend of perfume is going with modern perfumes, which are currently required by young people, and this is what made the perfume youthful and modern, but it has its own mark. This makes it an excellent choice as a signature fragrance. The smell of the perfume is refreshing, sweet, fruity, nice, safe, as well as enjoyable, that gives fun as well as joy. The perfume can be worn all year round, day and night, and for all outings and occasions, but I prefer it in autumn and spring and with casual clothes. Young people will find it very beautiful, but old people may not like it very much. The longevity of the fragrance is wonderful, more than ten hours on the body, and its sillage and projection is good. With a beautifully designed bottle. It is one of the hidden gems.

This is my best blind buy of 2018. Granted, we've still got a ways to go until 2019, but at the rate I buy fragrances, this is quite a statement. I really did not expect a CK fragrance to be this good. It's THE best CK fragrance I've smelled, and a complete hidden gem. People who don't have their nose on this are missing out big time. Especially if you love sweet, juicy, tasty scents like I do. It's really sweet, but also masculine. Don't worry about it being feminine, it's boozy and salty enough to counter that. You know when you first smell a fragrance you really like and it makes you smile? This is one of those for me. The last time I had that happen was when I bought Guerlain's L'Homme L'Eau Boisée. Reveal opens sweet and juicy, with an almost indescribably tasty burst of personality. The melon and salt accords create a wonderful contrast. I have nothing that smells like this in my entire collection. What shines here the most is the agave. I don't know what agave smells like, but man, if it smells anything like this, I gotta get me one of those plants in my garden. Too bad they take anywhere from 25-80 years to bloom! Millennial plant indeed! It's a sweet, boozy, juicy masterpiece that I can't get enough of, and I'm so glad it's longevity is as good as the smell. At 9+ hours, it's still pumping out here. This is a beast in performance. Even the bottle blew my mind. The cap is metal, and it's heavy. The glass is top notch, and it's also very heavy. For the size, this is a heavy bottle that looks way, way more expensive than it is. Honestly it's just way heavier than I expected it to be. Puts niche bottles to downright shame. Great quality. Excellent buy. I will always have this in my collection. Can't recommend it enough for sweet fragrance lovers. I love this. Fragrance: 10/10 Longevity: 9+ hours Personal Appreciation: Delicious, juicy, refreshing.

This one completely caught me by surprise. Not only did the scent itself surprise me, but the performance as well. This is completely different from anything I've ever tried from Calvin Klein. I think a lot of people really underestimated this one, since it doesn't appear to get a lot of attention. The opening is a very powerful blast of "cotton candy", which I'm not entirely sure what notes produce that smell. I enjoy it, but I can see where some people may find it too cloying. As the opening begins to mellow out, I can smell the amber and tonka bean. This is a very sweet, almost unisex scent. What is most remarkable about this, is the performance. Hands down the best performing scent I've tried from Calvin Klein; no contest. This is a performance monster. I got 12 hours easily with this, possibly even longer. It projects really well for at least 6-7 hours. I would personally do no more than 3 sprays. This is really powerful stuff. (EDIT: A little over 24 hours after applying, I could still smell it on me when I woke up the following morning. It was pretty weak, but I could still definitely smell it.) Best occasion for this? I would say party/clubbing & dates. This has a very sweet, uplifting vibe, and would radiate well in a place full of people, without killing everyone. I believe this one is more suited for colder weather, and may be a little too sweet to wear in the hot weather. I recommend testing this, before buying. This may not be for everyone, especially if you're not into powerful sweet scents. I really think this will surprise a lot of people. The best fragrance Calvin Klein has produced since CK One Shock, in my opinion.

Gorgeous, sweet, fruity, aquatic, fresh spicy! A one of the kind fragrance. Don’t know how such a distinctive type of perfume was created by a brand like Calvin Klein who’s known for creating mass appealing, super commercial fragrances because Reveal Man is anything but that!!! The opening is quite aromatic and resinous, for me it’s mostly clary sage, mastic and ginger but then the fruits: melons and pears take over and take the scent into a very delicious, gourmand direction. Base notes like amber, tonka beans and mastic round up the composition while the salt, the agave and the suede offer a dramatic contrast against the fruit’s sweetness. I can honestly say that even though I have smelled more than a thousand of fragrances in my life, I haven’t smelled anything close to Reveal Men! Take that as you will, but this is a unique perfume, without being too unusual or straight up unwearable. It’s sweet, fruity, aromatic, ambery, fresh, salty and vanillic and somehow still manages to smell cohesive and beautiful. My husband has a bottle but I wear it occasionally, I find it quite unisex and suitable for summertime. Far from being a beast, it’s a long lasting perfume with moderate projection, so it doesn’t feel suffocating in the heat&humidity. Such an underrated gem from Calvin Klein, as well as the female counterpart, Reveal Woman. Both discontinued now unfortunately..
