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..

One of the few masculine scents I like was released by "Calvin Klein". Unfortunately, it has been discontinued along with its feminine counterpart. I consider both of them great releases that should come back. "Reveal Men" is not that similar to "Reveal" for women. If I try hard enough, I can imagine they are related. The feminine one is powdery sandalwood and iris with some salt in the background. The masculine one is boozy, fresh and sweet. The salt is also distant here. I was worried the fragrance would be too boozy but it turned out to be more like a cocktail. A fruity cocktail that tastes just like juice and leaves you unable to walk. The mastic, pear and melon sweeten the alcohol while the agave and tonka add a fresh, aromatic layer. I can tell there is a salt note if I pay close attention. Overall, it is a surprisingly complex and well blended fragrance. I bought a backup bottle of 30 ml shortly after getting my first bottle. Of all the fragrances they could have discontinued, this shouldn't have been the one. I will probably get more backups because I love using it. It is certainly masculine but unusual and remarkable. The performance is also significant, it can last up to 7 hours and even longer on clothes. It certainly lives up to the hype and if it weren't for the rave reviews and articles, I would have missed out on this awesome fragrance.

Initial impression: This is the third time I smelt this. The first and second time was when I tried it at the department store. This time is the first time after I decided to purchase. I kinda like sweet fragrances, and I have a hard time looking for freshies. Well this one suits me quite well. This is a good one from calvin klein. I find the agave note as really interesting. Sweet, calm, a bit fresh & green. This is surrounded by a supporting tonka that gives more sweetness, aquatic notes, sea salt to balance it out, and a boozy note to make it more playful. I know for some people it might be too sweet to wear on high heat. But smelling this gives me a vibe of an afternoon beach party. It's playful and fresh. I've not given it a full test yet, but sure will update after giving it a few more time. UPDATE: This performs really well. It's playful but not loud. Longevity is about 7 hours. Sillage is moderate. You can smell whiffs of it even after 4 hours from application. The opening and dry down IMO is way better than versace eros. Agree with many, this has a niche quality to it. It's not like many sweet/gourmand designer fragrances. This sweetness is its own kind. Great job by calvin klein. Longevity: 8/10 Sillage: 7/10 Scent: 9/10 Compliments: 7/10 Versatility: 10/10 Price: 10/10 Overall: 8,5/10 Worth it.

Recently grabbed a bottle before prices go sky high because of it's discontinuation. Was truly expecting to completely enjoy the scent based on the note breakdown, but must admit that I can see pretty easily why it doesn't seem to have anything special or different enough to offer those looking for something that stands out. While it's an overall pleasant scent, it's just overtly muddled and none of the unique notes stand out enough to make it the hit it could have been. I do highly enjoy the type of mastic/lentisque note used in this. You can also find it in ADG Prodondo used with a much more mineralic and deeply aquatic backdrop than found here. If that accord or possibly the agave accord would have been highlighted a bit more I think it would have found much better success than it did. It seems that this house has more fragrances than any other that were very nearly significant and lasting as far as their impact on the market, but they just didn't take the time to complete the fragrance and released it when it was 75% of the way there. Other examples for me would be CK Euphoria Intense for Men, CK Shock for Men, Ck Eternity Flame For Men and CK Eternity Parfum for Men. Maybe one day they will actually make a true valid effort.

Yo, this stuff smells good! But more importantly.. for me.. the ladies seem to love it. I didn’t know what to expect. At all. That’s my life. But the reviews sounded good, even though I’m not a big CK frag fan. I have Shock, but when this scent was Revealed.. I was in Shock. Dumb. Anyways it does remind me of a kind of cotton candy, boozy, Amber honey scent that’s still masculine and just, smells, good. It’s one my fav new frags. It’s got character, and is deff not one dimensional. Longevity is kinda weak but I can overlook that. It’s very linear but I wouldn’t want to evolve much. It’s much different than any juice I have in my rotation or collection. That’s extra points right there. One of my best blind buys since Scent of Peace (one of my top 5 dead or alive).. and $20 for the 3.4 of Reveal don’t hurt. Now I’m also going off of compliments not just my nose. The ladies seem to really like this stuff. For some guys it might be too sweet, fu-fu or whatever. I ain’t sportin this with a hard hat and steel toes, crushing rocks for sugar in my coffee. it’s a evening/club/intimate frag. Take your pick or try all three. Just do all of em in the same night. Amazing juice.

10/10 A sickly sweet green fragrance, in a good way, a mixture of fresh notes and green, almost aquatic notes. Well crafted, it lasts a long time and it is unique. From the notes I detect a lot of melon, ginger, tonka bean, amber , and a salty touch which gives that aquatic, almost frosty vibe which I love. It would be great as a clubbing scent, it does not smell serious or formal, I also think it could work as a school/work scent as long as you're light on the trigger. You can definitely wear this on every period of the year, but it could be cloying in the high summer heat and lacks a bit of "depth" for cold winter days, perfect for spring and fall... It has a beachy-tropical vibe and it reminds me being on a party on a tropical beach at night, drinking a cocktail. It's made for being an alternative to your sweet clubbing fragrances.(One million, Eros, Ultra Male, Silver Scent...)

Oh boy is this juice good.. Excellent scent with great performance, 12+ hours with great sillage. The opening of CK Reveal is captivating and really unique; its fresh and somewhat tropical and boozy at the same time, almost candylike but not overly sweet. It makes me think of a freshly opened pack of Haribos Schnuller (the candy pacifiers) with that tutti frutti vibe from the opening. The scent stays quite linear, with a little bit of a amber/tonka bean combo sticking out from the background as time progresses. To date, CK Reveal is the best release of Calvin Klein along with CK Euphoria Gold Intense and CK One Shock. And its something that more designer houses should follow in the direction of making fragrances that actually performs well, as this one does. (looking at you YSL and Gucci..) Scent: 9,5/10 Performance: 10/10 Versatility: 8/10 Overall: ☆☆☆☆ and a half out of 5

At first sniff, all I could smell was bright, minty, super sweet cotton candy! But after several wearings, I discovered this cotton candy nuance to be the pear, melon, ginger and brandy all fighting (in the shadows of agave) over each other to dominate Reveal. The pear and melon are so refreshing and the brandy provides depth. The ginger is super zesty and zingy... it's so damn spicy. Before you know it, the agave (assisted by a lackey - smooth suede) shows the top notes who's boss. The tonka bean and amber vaguely trail behind - only to ramp up the sweetness, but never outshine agave. In short, Reveal is sweet. Very sweet. But it never gets cloying. There's a depth here that would make Reveal project in colder months, but provide a coolness in the warmer months. This stuff is very versatile and can easily be worn by a woman. Thumbs up in my book and definitely recommend!

Why, why would Calvin Klein discontinue such a lovely fragrance? Just got 30ml bottle for $25, I still remember when I could get a 100ml for $40... Word to the wise, get it before it's too late. Melon & pear in a hot sun, bathing in a pool of brandy, tonka, amber and agave, very long lasting, really smooth and soothing. All-year around fragrance except for summer, might be too sweet for some. Even though brandy is noticeable it's not the sharp alcohol note, it's more of a warm brandy aroma, if you're a blind-buyer that's important, it's not a masculine powerhouse potion. This is a sweet juice, yet there's something spicy and fresh behind it, I wonder if this is because of salt or clary sage, but it does have that fresh twist. You could pull it off for casual wear, you could pull it off for formal occasion, there's no mistakes here.

I have a brand new bottle of this fragrance and while I have always thought it was ok, I never really loved it. However I don't normally layer fragrances but when it's warmer and the fresher fragrances just don't last you end up reapplying and they overlap sometimes. Well I have recently found out that no matter what fragrance you out on afterward. I tried it with Aventus and this and it was great, Afternoon Swim and this work even better! This stuff really amps up the fruity aspects of those fragrances and I am going to hang onto it because I love the way it boosts performance, depth and sillage of these lighter, fresher fragrances!!! But even on its own this is pretty good stuff, but even if you are like me and don't ever layer, try it out with this one. I can't wait to try it with some of my favorite summer scents!!!

Great fragrance and just about seems to be available. I recently got a 100ml bottle from my local Savers in the UK for £25. I'm tempted to get another and leave it sealed, as I can see this one going up in value, if it's still in demand. A little goes a long way with this one and It's difficult to categorize. It has a marine opening and is quite sweet, could be interpreted as unisex, but once the heart notes kick in it's purely a male fragrance. Its dominant and good performer for Calvin Klein, one of the best in the range I own. It projects well and drys down into a herbal and smoky scent which sits close to the skin. The bottle is a cracker and one of the best on my shelf, it's hefty and nicely contoured. I hope they continue to make. Its a complicated scent unlike any other I own, go out and buy it if you can!

I wanted to have it for quite some time. The more it sits on my skin the more I like it. Projection is not huge but I get whifs of it every now and then. Also it has like a warming effect and 5 hours after applying it can still smell it clearly I think it's fantastic. It is true with Calvin Klein fragrances that some are so mediocre and some are hidden gems ("CK All" for example !) This one is rich warm, it is very unique. Funnily the bottle is a mistery you wouldn't know what to exepct from the juice inside until you smell it It is sweet and masculine all the way, it makes me want to smells my forearm constantly. Also gives me a warming sensation on my skin for the first 20-30min. I love it So glad I got it today Great juice . I don't know what else to say It is brilliant!! Long-lasting Yes yes yes !!!

This is epic. I received a 5ml sample and decided to test it for the weekend a week ago. I invited a girl I have a crush on for a date, but I don't think it would turn out to be like it turned out to be without cK Reveal. The scent is just simply fantastic, mix of agave and brandy is so well done it tickles your nose and makes you the center of attention. It outscores every other perfume I've ever had to be honest - it's classy, it's charming, it's reckless, it's sophisticated, it's sexy. Long story short, when my crush noticed my perfume she was already mine and we had an amazing night with cK Reveal playing with our senses. Time to buy more of this magic potion, cause it works. It turns a donkey into a magnificent dark stallion. Don't wait - go out, buy it, you can thank me later by thumbs up!

The epitome of sweet watermelon bubblegum mixed with salty boozed brandy, a touch of pear, amber, gorgeous agave and the tonka, which is present throughout and elevates this fragrance to another level. I am at the stage in my life now where I no longer wear fragrances based on what I *think* will attract other people (men in my case), or what I *think* fits their definition of masculinity. I wear them because *I* love how they smell. This is the best fragrance Calvin Klein has ever released. It is both sweet, liquid deliciousness and sophisticated, with complex notes and levels. It transforms the wearer into an edible confection and I am in love with it. The dictionary definition of intoxicating: the deep continuous inhalation of a highly addictive substance. This is it.

Likely the best CK I've ever smelled - it's criminal how this was overlooked and discontinued yet a lot of their absolute piddle water goes on for decades. This is sweet, seductive, hits of melon, pear drops (a boiled sweet) sage, touch of amber or something similar. I've only worn mine twice, yet it got complemented many times on both occasions - yet I can wear one of my PDM scents and nobody says a word. I'll be honest, I'd have swerved it myself if not for a recommendation as 90% of CK fragrances I've sampled have been poor to awful. I still love Obsession though, but that's likely due to nostalgia more than anything. If you can find a bottle of this for cheap, grab it, it'll be one of those in a decade that people bang on about and go out of their way to find.

I blind bought CK reveal and this stuff is a hidden gem for the price it can be found at. Smells fruity sweet and a little boozy and also somewhat minty aquatic in the opening. This is not similar to JPG ultramale at all, just because there both sweet doesn't mean they smell the same, there very different. The performance is also suprisingly good with this fragrance, around 8 hours on my skin and days on clothes. Even though this fragrance is sweet like a club fragrance, I could still see this being used in the summertime because it has a fruity tropical and slight aquatic feel to it aswell. Overall this is a great affordable fragrance and it turned out to be an amazing blind buy for me. I give CK reveal a 9/10 for smell, longevity, and affordability.
