Truth For Men

'Tell the truth, but always with a slant'...hence the shape of the bottle and the idea behind the scent. According to cK's website this is still available in the US and the notes above are not what is in MY bottle. I(and anyone who has worn and enjoyed this fresh green wonder) can tell you that these are more like it: TOP: bamboo,watery greens,tea leaves HEART: basil,cardamom,green jasmine BASE: sun musk,white patchouli,cedar... and wacapou(Indian for pine) (These are right from CK website) TfM begins with an aqueous suspension of lush and green foliage, smooth, fresh and luminous. The initial accord fades but surrounds what follows with a verdant shimmer until the end. The aromatic basil (I love basil) is softened by cardamom's smooth warmth and these two notes blend in with the sexy clear jasmine like lovers in a menage a trois, innocent, curious and sensual all at once. The musk here truly smells as if the sun is shining on everything in this scent, and the patchouli (if any) is quite clean and lite. The cedar is there but in more of a background way and never overpowers our 'green lovers'. The wacapou (that took a while to find and define) is the green of the still living needles and not the wood or the pungent sap-smell of Christmas trees. If you are looking for something truly, naturally green (but not overly herbal) and watery(but not aquatic or caloney) this is the one for you.Despite the surprising lack of citruses Givaudan has captured 'fresh and succulent' rather well. Simple and beautiful, like Truth itself, but with a slight twist, as if the truth is told but something has been held back to protect the feelings or innocence of someone you truly care about... Sillage: good Longevity: could be better Overall: 4.75/5 This is a true wonder of modern perfumery in that it smells so very natural and pure but is composed of mostly synthetic components. This is the perfect synthesis of natural essences and man-made materials. The life of the scent is short-lived but as with all things in Nature, nothing lasts forever...

Calvin Klein truth is a very under-rated gem from the house of Calvin Klein and I’m very surprised this isn’t more popular because it’s very mass pleasing and has gotten me some compliments from time to time ! Truth opens up with a very bright,Dewey,slightly juicy but fresh green note that to my nose is 1 of those fresh cut grass smells similar to Carolina Herrera 212 men but this is more aromatic and less musky. Truth is pretty linear but once it dries down the patchouli and sandalwood kick in making this slightly sweeter but also more earthy. To describe this scent as a whole id say this is very green,natural smelling and this reminds me of the smell of fresh cut grass after a nice rain. For those familiar with the Bath n Body works lotion “Rainkissed leaves”, this smells very similar to that ! Performance— some people are saying this doesn’t last but on my skin I get 5-8 hours with above average projection. This scent is perfect for spring/summer use and would be a great scent for the office as it’s very inoffensive if you only use 2-4 sprays. Overall rating— 8 out of 10 ! A personal favorite of mine that I’m positive if this was released by Hermes that this would be a hit ! A perfect Spring scent Sidenote: This is a less is more fragrance ! 3-4 sprays mad if your indoors and 4-6 max if your outdoors. You may think because this is a light scent that it won’t be cloying but if over applied it can be headache inducing. BUT if done right it’s the perfect scent for the office that may get you noticed but will still be inoffensive for even sensitive noses

This is so far the BEST CK Men's fragrance I ever come across!! It start with a very refreshing "bamboo" or "grass cutting" smell, slowly then transform to a mild, nice green scent with hints of bit sourness, imagine the after rain freshness in the middle of the bamboo rain forest! Amazing journey! It end with a very mild musky aromatic scent with overall lasting power more than 4 hours! It stay closed to skin and projection I would say is okay, a very self-pleased mood lifting scent. I love to wear it to the office and casual dating, great compliments from a lot of my friends. Truth is an amazing and attracting fragrance, the scent calm my busy day down and relax my mind and nerve giving me state of peace and harmony feeling - a definite magic potion for me! The bottle design is in the line of simplistic and modern looking! The story behind this ascending bottle design is something interesting! " Tell all the truth, but tell it slant" - No one want to hear a bad lie, tell a slanted truth then! This fragrance is totally under-rated by the market, a great scent that should have huge success! Btw, I got info from some site citing that it has been discontinued. Never the less, Truth is a ever legendary scent from CK after Eternity! I will give this 9.5/10, best in CK Men series!

Light Green Aquatic, with surprisingly rich and well blended woody resinous dry down Just blind ordered this for $23, for 100ml/3.4oz new in box. If everyone is right that this is CK’s best and/or most underrated men’s fragrance this may become my favorite cheapie this spring. Will update when I receive it. Update: I really like it, it opens almost like a green aquatic. It has that ozonic vibe overused in blue aquatics but here paired nicely with fougere greens. Then with a touch of resinous woods and dash of sweetness that come to the forefront in the dry down. Smells great throughout. It’s hard not to like, with the formulaic 90s designer cologne vibe, but unique enough that it makes a very nice option for spring and summer. The richer dry down makes it stand out for a cheapie. In some ways it’s almost like they took some nice facets from a bunch of different popular 90s department store scents and distilled them here, the Polos, the Tommy‘s, the CKs, etc. etc. Really a no-brainer at 23 bucks. Though I have to agree with many reviews that the atomizer/sprayer on this is absolutely the worst I’ve ever seen. It’s a big rectangle of plastic that feels loose and wobbly and ridiculously cheap. and then when you push it a pretty small amount of mist weakly sprays out.

To cut this short, this smells exactly like a wet field of grass during the rain. It's quite evocative of that scent and really fantastic. CK Truth for Women also smells like that, but more like a lush meadow with some flowers as well. I've been looking for a cologne to encapsulate the smell of rain and wet grass ("petrichor") for a long time, and I have to say this is the greatest example of that in my experience. If I'm looking for individual notes though, I basically smell grass, leaves, a watery accord, cardamom, and basil. Since it's very atmospheric, it doesn't lean masculine or feminine but CK Truth for Women is definitely in the feminine direction. As a perfume, it's probably my favourite from the CK line as it isn't sweet at all (like CK Eternity is), isn't as bitter as CK Euphoria, and isn't as fleeting as other CK colognes. It smells like the word "melancholy", but is very pleasant and inoffensive. Sillage is however only moderate but leaning light (as is the case with most CK perfumes) while longevity is also moderate. The bottle for this is very interesting, but the sprayer is really bad. However, I can overlook these issues because it provides a fantastic sensory experience if you want to smell like a wet field of grass during a rainshower. 4.5/5
