It seems anaemic and watered down to an extent that it looses whatever personality it might have developed - certainly it has less character than Eternity for Men! Add to that the fact that it's is super-synthetic and bland, then it is clear why this represents olfactory tedium and mediocrity at its fines.Įuphoria Men by Calvin Klein (2006) is one of a pair developed by no less than four perfumers and one outsourced evaluator-for-hire (Ann Gottleib), based around the idea of "unstoppable passion" in Calvin's own words, and little else. This is a pleasant spring scent that is quite thinned, anaemic and without any intensity or colour. I get moderate sillage, limited projection and eight hours of longevity on my skin. The patchouli is light and lacks any harshness or darkness. The base is characterised (not meaning it had actual character!) by a pleasant, slightly sweet, and thinned down mix of a nonspecific white amber impression with a soft patchouli. The drydown adds a pleasant, slightly sweet, slightly watery herbal element, that is combined with a nonspecific woodsy undertone. Still, overall, you could do MUCH worse for a first scent, for a young man, etc., but I find it criminally genericĪ pleasant, slightly sweet, slightly watery and thinned down opening blast, with a nonspecific hesperidic touch that is combined with a light white pepper. Longevity is not bad, better than Eternity, but again it's so damn boring after the opening, so you might want to top it off after an hour or two. ![]() Overall, an okay smelling, safe scent, but it will not blow you away, it truly is like a glorified body spray:generally pleasant, but insanely shallow, boring, it doesn't even pretend to try to be anything new and exciting with depth. It's very easy to smell it and think "oh, someone put on cologne" but you would be hard pressed to differentiate this fragrance from a TON of other male frags. It's very synthetic, and truly smells just like a department store perfume counter. What I don't particularly like (and have grown to truly DESPISE) about Euphoria is the complete lack of focus, depth, and refinement, and offensively generic nature of the scent after the opening dies down. Retains the CK dna, and it has the potential to be a nice scent, it's just overly safe and I could see it worn for all occasions, it's fresh enough for after the gym, mild enough for work, spicy enough for a date night, etc. ![]() ![]() The dry-down, however, is the absolute definition of boring and generic, and I get a shallow and synthetic vibe. Hard to really not like the opening overall. A fresh, spicy and alluring, masculine fragrance. It's woody and a bit spicy, yet a touch of sweetness.
