Calvin Klein fragrances are waters of escape, urbanism and conquest. They are there to accompany the Calvin Klein Man: resolutely adventurous, a touch curious and daring, yet poetic and sensitive at the same time.
It's a duality that the perfumer likes to bottle: the raw strength of steel, and the roundness of feelings not always explicit in Man or the era that saw him born. For Calvin Klein likes to draw its references from the tumult of the "grunge decade". Through his flagship fragrance "CK One", he delivers his unstructured, apocalyptic vision of eternal youth in search of thrills and risky experiences.
It's this almost immature idea, this constant insolence, that runs through most of his elixirs: the scent of a wave of memories and parties, of frenetic dancing, of bodies in motion, of strobes twisting the retina before dawn finally silences this city struggling to fall asleep.
Undeniably a perfumer who has known how to pass through the eras and be reborn in the 21st century, without losing its bite, its identity, Calvin Klein seems to constantly question: "What's the point of living, if not to do it to the full?"
