Calvin Klein Contradiction for Women Eau de Parfum, 100 ml

Product Information

I didn't smell any of the floral notes at all except the ever present rose, and just the woods and musk with a bit of green (didn't know it was the eucalyptus). On me it’s a perfectly fine office-friendly light sweet indeterminate white floral with minimal projection even after 8-10 sprays. Absolutely beautiful fragrance had this for years and years I never have my collection without this beauty especially in the summer. My most exciting, wonderful discovery of 2021 so far: this fragrance is still made and sold (online, anyway, in the UK).

You don't hear too much about Calvin Klein's Contradiction these days, as it is often overshadowed by newer releases like Euphoria, CK IN2U and CK One. When I put this on, I envision all those nice things pretty, good girls might wear: small pastel-coloured sweaters, starched shirts, ditsy hair accessories, knee length pencil skirts. Please note that Royal Mail currently classes perfumes, nail polishes, flammable liquids and aerosols as "hazardous materials" and will only accept a limited number of these per parcel. Contradiction is crisp, fresh, a touch spicy, and bright - The color of the juice perfectly sums up the smell of this fragrance. By combining citrus and herbaceous notes with exotic spices and woods that leave a lasting impression, this men's EDT is ideal for wearing day or night, and any occasion.In my late high school life and even in my 20s, Contradiction felt as suitable for a night out as it did for school and work. I really like it, really enjoy it (there are moments when I even feel emotional :-D towards the fragrance ), but all in all - for some reason it doesn't seem to "gel with me" enough to make the effort to get it (or keep it in this case as I already have a bottle).

A big plus is that "ice" note in it, fused with something metallic - this effect is a little similar to the effect of RL POLO SPORT, and for a warm weather it is so great, or just when one wants to feel refreshed, renewed, upbeat. It is most certainly a floral oriental with a lovely, rounded bouquet of notes that would please most floral lovers- rose, lily, jasmine, lilac, peony. The somewhat synthetic edge that marks CK fragrances as modern is present here, but somehow I find it pleasant. I am in a pleasant surprise to see it glowing again in the markets and revisited this glorious aroma once again.For a man who found a balance between work and family, cares about his look and good state of mind, who is not afraid of adversity and can surprise you with his ideas and attitude. One review of this fragrance on MakeupAlley, likened Contradiction to the scent of a warm photo-copied sheet. After the first 2 hours, an underlying very lightweight tonka/musk accord appears, clinging softly close to skin.

There's something extra sweet about receiving a gift from someone removed enough that they really didn't have to get you anything. I know I am not helping here with identifying the notes and flowers but I can tell that for myself I do not hear eucalyptus here; maybe bcos of really strong rose and other flowers. old (from the 90´) but still modern and still unbeatably till now <3 i bought it in every avilable size (30ml, 50ml, 100ml) just to have it as an art objekt in my living room.Top notes are Lime, Lavender, Lemon, Clary Sage and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Pepper, Cardamom, Coriander and Nutmeg; base notes are Vetiver, Musk, Sandalwood and Ebony Wood. If you like jasmine and sandalwood and daring, interesting, sweet with savory/woodsy compositions, get yourself a big bottle of Contradiction while you still can! I can wear me some masculine perfumes, but the reviewers were right, and I can't comfortably wear this one. The dry-down is rather lovable and does linger on the skin in a very pleasant way, but it's the bottle that really makes Contradiction to stand out: a cool (in every sense of the word), ultra-modern, somehow urban, chic metal (yes, I did say "chic metal" :-D ). Despite the poor review I have to admit that CKC is not terrible - which is perhaps the closest to Contradiction I like to be.

It's very synthetic and all I can really smell is the citrus with a touch of lavender plus all the additives.let me explain, i sort of remembered this frag ie using it long long ago and loving the scent i at that time had no knowledge and/or expectations from a frag performance wise (my teens), it is quite cheap, and when i got it, at the time before hand, i was quite certain that i would absolutely love the scent, as i did before. The base notes of musk, sandalwood, and tonka bean add a pleasant and enduring blend to the overall composition.
