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

I confess that I bought this as a total blind buy. I wanted a spring/summer scent and saw that it scored over 4 on the reviews and purchased it because it was on special for $29 (Australian) for 100ml. Yes, I’m a cheapskate. Haha. Anyway, this scent is much better than I anticipated. Very classy and perfect for warm weather. Nice to have a summer scent not dominated by citrus notes. This has a fresh woody smell and green leaf smell. Dry down smells like fresh sawdust with the basil and cardamom in the background which is very pleasant to my nose. Definitely a winning scent for daytime and outdoors. This would be great at an outdoor table at a cafe and is probably ok for work as well. It is not a powerful scent and won’t last all day. On those counts it’s moderate/ average. The slanted bottle design makes it difficult for me to hold the bottle whilst spraying. Overall, this is one of the better CK fragrances I have tried. Thumbs up for sure!

I bought this for my son for his birthday, and got a chance to smell it on him for the first time yesterday. A woman's perspective is this is an attention getter! I was very surprised by how much depth the cardamom adds. On him, basil, sandalwood, cardamom come in together. Then, the patchouli and juniper. Pepper is very subtle, adding an edge- which is good, because there is a sweetness to this fragrance. Make no mistake, guys- it's fully loaded with testosterone! Contrary to some reviews, I would actually consider it to be almost a sillage monster. So don't think because you can no longer smell it that we can't. Truth definitely has attitude... Best fitting a man who is sophisticated, but also knows how to chop wood. UPDATE: My son has recently become seriously involved with a beautiful Bosnian girl who insists that he wear this cologne over any of his others (1 Million, DSquared, Bvlgari Extreme). She LOVES it, makes her crazy!

The notes list surprises me because I smell a lot of a Cactus or Aloe Vera like smell in the opening, it has a also a kind of "hairgel" vibe to it but in a good way. It's also "wet", i don't know which notes cause that rainy or wet effect. Smells clean, fresh, natural and a bit tropical but in an original way, like walking in a lush and green landscape. Perfect for spring, summer and early fall. I absolutely love the opening/first hour of this cologne but the drydown gets a bit flat. The notes i get the most are: Green leaves, Cardamom and Fern, i'd add Cactus and Aloe Vera to this list because it sounds obvious to me. It's fresh but not an aquatic fragrance, green but not bitter, uplifting but not citrusy, tropical but not sweet. It reminds me a bit of a non-gourmand fresher version of Reveal. It's the kind of scent you could catch a whiff of and think this is the natural scent from somebody.

Fresh and fresh again. It is my feeling when I put on this fragrance. The opening starts with fresh herbal scent that is a little spicy. It reminds me spring in mountainous area after after a rain in the morning. That is why I like to wear it in the morning. Both longevity and projection are acceptable according to the price. It lasts 4 to 5 hours and all the time you can feel the projection. I think the silage is around your arm length which is enough for daily usage. Although after 5 hours It is needed to refresh, The scent cab be smelled on the skin with an slight projection. I think It is wearable for daily casual activities such as doing sport, shopping, visit a friend. I've found it a little informal for wearing in the office or formal parties. Absolutely summer and spring scent. All in all I like this fragrance. It is not something very special to me, but I like to wear it occasionally.

This is the scent ,I wear in the Spring to go to bed , with this scent kickstarted my love of green scents ..As someone previously mentioned this used to have a noticeable watermelon fruity note ,Thank You cause I swear ,I was bugging and that this used to smell different to my nose...However that has now changed into a herb garden w basil as the main player ,after a gentle spring rain ..it suggest petrichor without givingbu the dirt..I love that this doesnt lean citrussy but maintains a sense of clean an aquatic fragrance w green nuances ,but not sea water or ocean aquatic a rain shower type of water.I would kill for a bodywash like this ,matter of fact Neutrogena Rainbath* discontinued** used to play in a similar vein..For what its priced at its great, it dodsnt last long but mine was under $25 for a tester and I love it..Very inoffensive & short lived.

Huge difference between paper and skin. On paper this comes off mostly one note: a more synthetic, $2 deodorant version of the Aventus pineapple top note. You can sort of detect some nuance, but barely. The note leans a bit more watery, more rain than ocean. But still synthetic, cheap. On skin it’s incredible. I get something like a mass appealing Le Labo Baie 19, minus the dirt and concrete. Here those are replaced by, not oud, but something in that direction. (I’m guessing that’s the “exotic woods” note.) Overall clean and fresh, petrichor, far more interesting (on skin) than the brand, bottle or price make it out to be. Very 90s, very nostalgic. Great scent. UPDATE: 11/9/25 I love this more and more as time goes on. Idk know what it is but it's just a great scent all around. Performance hits above its price range. Another incredible Almairac creation.

Delicious! So perfect for hot summer and spring days. It opens so fresh and zesty, there’s a strong herby note at first, and then it calms down to a really smooth and fresh aquatic type scent. As another reviewer had said, there’s no strong note here, it seems to be a few different notes blended exquisitely to create something truly unique. Calvin Klein fragrances aren’t overly expensive, this was only about $50 for 100mls, but I’m finding that mostly they’re pretty decent quality for the price. The longevity on this is average, as you’d expect, but I find that the projection is above average, I’m certainly leaving a trail after this. It’s a winner if you ask me. When it’s super hot and you need something to cool you down and get you smelling perfectly gorgeous, I certainly recommend reaching for this. The only downside is the hideous shaped bottle.

I had it from 2002 and I loved it. This is something really unique scent. Nothing else in the world can be similar like this. Many years ago I bought it again, I think in 2014. But the content was already too weak, I mean sillage is only 1 meter and the longivity is only 1.2 hours. The most likely that the making have been stopped in 2010-2012 for instance and only the residual stocks are available. So the parfume is "tired" or lost its real power, exposed to extreme heat or cold etc. I would buy it again but afraid that the same experince will happen again. As it was with the last CK Eternity for men 50 ml that I have bought in last March. This is weaker than an after shave sillage is zero and the longivity is only 30 minutes...

Husband's review: "it's alright." As you can tell, he's a wordsmith when it comes to perfumes :) On him I barely smell it, but on me it lasts quite a while. The first blast is wonderful - a typical fresh, watery, and aromatic fragrance with basil as the centerpiece. I'm getting an agua fresca with basil and rosemary. As it dries, a sweet ozonic green note and with a cedary base comes forward. This reminds me of a aromatic version of Terranova Rain--in fact I layered these two together and now its softer and more suitable for a woman. Later, I layered Truth for Women over top. All layering experiments came out very refreshing, especially in this 100F weather we're having in California.

I absolutely LOVE this scent. I'm a 22 yr old girl and I even give myself a little spray of it if I see it in shops. Bought It for my boyfriend for Christmas too! The smell is so addictive, really unique, nothing quite like it really. I'd never get bored of it, and it seems to last so much longer than any aftershave/perfume I've ever come across. I once knew someone who wore this scent all the time and I thought it was purely his own scent that smelt so amazing...until I recognised the smell at the duty free shops in the airport. I have had a few people comment that it seems quite unisex, so maybe its not the typical musky masculine scent that some may be after, but it drives me wild!

This is a great fragrance! I smelled this years ago and always had it in my mind to buy it and i finally did. For 30 euro you get 100ml of this hidden gem. I love that it has no citrucy notes as many other fresh fragrances out there. This one is green, refreshing, warm and elegant. Its a versatile juice that you can where to any occasion. This will be great at the office and would only please people around you. Ive tried dior higher and understand the comparison but imo this one i much better. It has a sick projection and longevity on me. I get 7-8 hours and a strong projection for 2-3 hours. Definitely a blind buy!

I L O V E this fragrance! My brother first received this for Christmas when he was eleven years old and has kept this one fragrance in this life since that time. He is now nearing 18 years old and has vowed to never part with it. He has gone through bottle after bottle, and searches small fragrance shops to find it. It is quite the amazing scent. It's very fresh and uplifting. It is never overpowering or too much. It's very clean, but alluring. This is my favorite scent for men, but I could never imagine it on any other guy in my life other than my brother.

This was my go-to in my youth. One of my earliest designer frags after Acqua di gio, Polo Sport and Van Gils Between Sheets. All these are good scents to me and 90’s nostalgia. Truth smells like a beautiful sunny spring morning in the forrest after a rainy night. The sour citrus is great, not dissimilar to Acqua di gio. I love it obviously. (Not a hint of modern sweetness that frankly is sickening how they have taken over all male designer scents post 2015.) Not the best longevity, but brilliant scent wise.

Now this is an underrated fragrance. The opening note just hits you with this amazing basil note. It isn’t foody or too earthy, but fresh and clean. Then it all dries down to a smooth combo of herbs and grass. Silage is good and the longevity is wayyy better than a lot of people say. I even pick this over some designer/niche fragrances I’ve smelled all for a great price. Give it a try. Scent: 9/10 Silage: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10 Price: 10/10 Underrated-ness: 10/10 Overall: 9.5/10

This is very nice! This is overlooked big time! If you're into fresh Green fragrances like I am then you must try this one. It is very watery and Green just like after a rain storm. Rain and the color Green are what I think of with this fragrance. It smells very attractive. I can't think of a scenario where this would be disliked at all. I really wish I had tried this one sooner. The performance is also good with solid projection. I give this a 95/100.

A very fabulous scent profile, smells like you just got out of the shower and started driving through some greenery on a colder morning and have the car's fan ventilating outside air. Sharp, fresh, green and likeable. Great for the price point I once bought it, now in AU it's going around $60+ which isn't very approachable given what the dupe houses are doing at very cheap prices. If you get it around 25 or less give it a go.

i think i fell in love within 10 hours. i received a vintage bottle this morning. i like the green wet squeaky vibe. i usually tend to like the more incense/dark/heavy scents. but i think this will work even better in a hot and humid clime. this strident feeling made me think of Sécrétions Magnifiques a little. just less obtrusive. great scent for little money. scent: 8,5/10 longevity: 7/10 sillage: ca. 5/10

@jasonx Yes, there is. I have an uopened bottle of CK Truth right in front of my eyes and it says "Made in France". Bought it in a Sephora drugstore in Poland to have more of the juice when I learned it had been discontinued. As the "Made in USA" one was bought at an airport abroad, I assumed the ones I had used previously (bought in Poland) were also form France, but can not be sure of that.

Another classic from cK. Very green with subtle woody notes, and a little sour. But this sourness is not citric type, u know some plants have sour green leaves, so this is that kind of sourness. It always gets me felt so fresh and cool. Perfect summer scent. Longevity and sillage is pretty well. Nothing can beat this freshness! I love it. Btw it is the greenest scent I have ever encountered.

This is a wonderfull all-purpose scent. Always fresh, and it lasts really long. If I had to choose one scent for the rest of my life, chances are it would be this one: It has bits of everything I like. PS: It is mentioned below that this one was discontinued. It's not true. At least over here in Central Europe, you get it at every decent perfume-shop. ****

This is a fantastic and rare green scent. The only problem is that it is so green it is a bit polarizing, and you may have a hard time wearing it. I actually squirt out a portion of the liquid and blend it with something slightly aquatic in an empty atomizer bottle to cut the greenness. That way I can enjoy it without being overwhelmed by all the green.

Great fresh green fragrance that's IMO underrated and overlooked. Seamless construction with a classy and refreshing spring/summer scent profile. Understated, masculine and easy to wear. Longevity is a bit lackluster, and it projects reasonably well for the first couple of hours. Office safe and great for casual outdoor situations like BBQs. Daytime

This is a great discovery of mine in 2019. It is like a male version of Coco Madmoiselle. The bamboo and green notes give this a masculine vibe. My male friends like it. My female friends said it reminds them of Coco Madmoiselle. Without the greens, the two are twins. I wear them both.

This is really fantastic, just like the women's Truth. A contrast of depth and lightness, warmth and freshness. I think a woman could wear it, but the women's Truth is so incredible you wouldn't need to! I love men's Truth on a man, and it's truly a great compliment to the woman's.

The jury is out on this one. I don't know what to think of it, all I know is the performance of it is terrible and that's one thing that is really bad, but the smell is original but very very weak, I do like the smell... As I said jury is out...

Always been a FAN of Truth. Count on compliments every time you wear this. Fresh! Can't be over sprayed! The bottle is probably the worst bottle and sprayer on the market though! Note to the House of Calvin...Revamp the bottle not the juice!

i love the scent, i really enjoy my second bottles. easy to wear, inoffensive, fresh, green, warm, flowery and aquatic vibe. i rate it 9/10. very good sillage and it last a very long time. cheapness, longevity, sillage are equally done.

This is exquisite. The female version not only is 98% similar, it lasts far longer. This mild scent essentially is good for a rainy spring or summer day. Leafy goodness in a bottle. I don't even care that it's quite mild, just reapply!

The best freshly cut green grass fragrance in its price level. This is the TRUTH. I love this fragrance, it is well made and deserves medal. I would highly recommend CK Truth to everyone. Fragrance 7/10 Quality 7/10 Price 9/10

I love and have used this frag for years. I recently opened a new bottle "Made in USA" and... is it just me or it's really a lot weaker than the "Made in France" ones?

The longevity on clothes are absolutely unbeatable. Wash em and it's still there. One of my favourites from the house of CK. Modern and fresh.

Great frag! Outstanding sillage on my skin. Dont get me started on clothes, a week or more. Even after i have washed my shirt... Monster!!

just got this for 20$ at 50ml, can't say anything about longevity yet, but the scent is truly beautiful fresh and unique.

I love this scent! I just wished it lasted long. It's a great scent from Calvin Klein and that's the truth!lol

great for summer nice very clean .i feel good all the day,attracting fragrance,smells so very natural

Its 8 AM and you are in a garden and the rain just stopped. This is Truth by CK.

This scent is the proof for me that great perfurms can also fail in the market.

the meaning of freshness.good work ck..but like always very poor sillage:(

Best, most favorite all time scent for a man! Love it!

this is my favourite scent for guys

mmm my favourite cologne on a guy

Some reviewers said it rightfully so - this is without a doubt the definition of underrated. Most of you might relate, and those who can't relate, perhaps will relate in the future when they are at that stage after smelling/using hundreds, if not thousands of fragrances only to reach to the realization that some of these underrated, now-cheapies from yesteryear are actually, amazing blends. Calvin Klein - Truth is straight up there at the top category in my opinion when it comes to the decade of 00. It is strikingly similar to Comme des Garcons - Odeur 71, which came 2 years earlier than Truth, and is considered an art piece by many but I think many fall into the illusion of CdG’s genius marketing and descriptions. You won’t see people losing their minds under Truth reviews :) Now let's look at the announced (marketing) notes. I can see how it doesn't always resonate with some people. Resins? Patchouli? Exotic woods? Huh? The only notes that really makes sense and can be noticed are the green/grassy accord (not a single note), basil (with anisic-sweet fresh herbal at the top), cardamom (giving fresh spicy kick but hardly noticeable on its own, likely because it is carved into the blend itself and its effect can only be understood if we had the chance to smell the formula without). My notes interpretation from what I could catch within my experience of perfume ingredients (and some information from the books I read) would be: Basil - Pineapple - Pear Green grass, leaves - Cardamom - Galbanum Sandalwood - Cedarwood - Calone (Aquatic notes) Green/Grassy top accord: Triplal (common green leafy aldehyde), Galbanum EO with its sharp green balsamic mastic gum nuances) Fruity-green top accord: Dynascone (common pineapple-galbanum ingredient, also key top-heart in Aventus) and touch of lemon/bergamot (limonene, citral, linalool). There is also a violet (ionones) note with a pineapple-pear-green ingredient to give a nice shade of fruity pear effect. This is where the connections made by most people to Dior - Higher, and it is accurate. Spicy-top-heart: Sweet basil oil (anisic, fresh herbal), cardamom seed oil (spicy citrusy and terpenic fresh) - these create an amazing accord in combination with the green and fruity top. Musky-woody base: There's Calone (watermelon aquatic watery), white musks, likely Iso E Super and some amber nuanced Cedramber (this combo could be what they market as red cedar) and maybe in combination with cedar virgina oil, and there's definitely sandalwood (what they market as exotic woods) which is Javanol (one of the finest sandalwood synthetics). For me, Truth's charm comes from this hidden sandalwood note that wraps the entire fruity watery greenery like a blanket. And the more you learn about perfumery, these so-called "cheapies" that are brutally disregarded (most likely because people see them as outdated or the brand/marketing is not appealing to snob-perfumeheads) shine in a different light. Always remember that perfumery sales is driven mostly based on marketing and not based on ingredients (even though marketing likes to lie about "finest ingredients, highest quality ingredients" etc). There is no finest, rarest, highest quality ingredients in mass production. There is only one thing, economical production. I was never one to use a perfume for its hype or status, but purely by its scent and the feeling it gave me. Lanvin Oxygene, Issey Miyake - Bleu d'Issey, Carolina Herrera - 212 Men, Dior - Higher, Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger, Givenchy - Blue Label, Armani Lui/He and many more...These are amazing value for price today, and CK - Truth stands right there with them. So use this and others that "you" like regardless of what the impression is in full confidence knowing you are not spraying something much inferior to, say, one of those expensive Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Aqua Celestia, Forte, Masculin etc...

Was going to leave a nice long review but can't touch @talkaboutscents Agree on all accounts. I initially came across it in my search for a nice outdoorsy, petrichor, woody scent. I tried the Encre Noire's and few other vetivers but weren't for me. I reeally like the heavy ozone with Xyrena's Neon Sunset but finding the sweet florals of it tend to lean more feminine. With CK Truth, I get the freshly cut green grass/ basil up front and then sandalwood on the drydown. Wish it would last longer; maybe get 2 or so hours before needing to reapply. Usually do about 7-8 sprays on pulse points and chest. I'll get the random whiffs of the sandalwood for a few hours after the green opening settles down. But where it really shines in the drydown is high heat weather. That's when I get more of the nice sandalwood. Would also enjoy another flanker that includes heavy ozone like Neon Sunset or the complete petrichor scent like Narciso Rodriguez for Him (replace the sandalwood drydown with violet for the ozone and much more patchouli for earthy tones). Would be really awesome to have the fresh cut wet grass in the opening and then petrichor/ ozone/ earthy/ wet concrete on the drydown. If anyone reading this knows of another scent that emulates something like this let me know! But for now it's in my heavy rotation for spring and summer; perfect for going to a backyard BBQ!

Finally I got myself a bottle of this, a blind buy, it had been on my radar for years! Well, my first impressions are good. I honestly wasn't expecting too much given that this doesn't really get hyped a lot. I wasn't expecting a strong fragrance, which it isn't, but I was expecting a fresh, make that VERY fresh & uplifting fragrance which it most definitely is. This somehow reminds me a little of Clinique's Happy for men, or rather how that would smell if you replaced the citrus for green notes! Both share a similar bright, uplifting vibe. I may be wrong but another fragrance I recall having some similarities was I think 'Higher' by Dior. Anyway, I like this, it's seemingly a simple, easy-going light scent, great as an alternative to citrus scents on a hot day! In a way it's kind of unique yet familiar at the same time. I also don't think it smells dated at all. Try it before it disappears for good as it's been discontinued for a while now. Edit: one of the most ropey sprayers I've yet to come across, fine for the price I paid (around 20$) but not for retail prices back when Truth for Men was new lol !

Men perfumes always gave me impression of being suitable especially for summertime, probably because of their freshness and lack of overly sweetness. This one is for sure one of them. The basil and the cardamom together brought me to the blue sea, as feeling the nice breeze on my skin while sitting on a boat. Meanwhile, fern and resins as the middle notes took me in the green deep forest with the light shinning on my face through the shimmering leaves. The base scents of cedar, which I know pretty well since I often pick it's leaves from the tree and smell it while walking in the forest, together with patchouli and wood, embraces the whole mixture and wakes my senses up in such a way that, I couldn't avoid to think I truly "truthly" enjoy it. Sometimes as woman I like to wear a man perfume too when I'm in some proper mood.
