Calvin Klein Women by Calvin Klein

I love this perfume for spring and summer! It’s citrusy but with a deeper base, likely from the cedar and frankincense. It has a sweet touch that makes it very pleasant. I liked it from the very first time I tried it.

The eucalyptus note seemed super pleasant and original on paper, so I decided to test it on skin. Unfortunately, it develops very differently on my skin. What I notice most is a lot of grapefruit at the start, which then softens into a musky-floral aroma so generic and synthetic that it reminds me of pre-COVID launches (like the bland Joy by Dior). Both projection and longevity are moderate. It’s pleasant, feminine, and can be used as a daily perfume in the shoulder seasons. A good all-rounder, but nothing really stands out about it.

I smell it as a very sweet and quite soapy citrus. It doesn’t seem anything like Light Blue to me; this one is quite feminine and smells like old-fashioned soaps, very floral and a bit powdery. This perfume didn’t kill me, I expected something lighter, and it seemed a bit too sweet for my taste.

Ugh, I love it! What an elegant perfume. It reminds me of those young ladies dressed in elegant white going to Sunday mass at noon, haha. Perfect for summer, for those sunny and windy days. It smells very elegant, summery, sophisticated; I feel fancy every time I smell it. I wouldn’t say it smells like an old lady, but I will say it has its own personality.

I loved it! I tested a mini I had without waiting much longer, and in the end, I think I will go ahead and buy the 100ml bottle. It reminds me so much of Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue, which was already on my wishlist, but I think I’ll opt for this one because in Women, the cedar note stands out more, which is exactly what I loved about Light Blue. There’s not much price difference either.

To me, it’s a clean aromatic citrus, not overwhelming. I can’t really smell the violet strongly in it (which I appreciate because it overwhelms me). Highly recommended for those who like to wear perfume without drawing attention, ideal for going to work.

An exquisite citrus. A very sweet, fresh, and casual grapefruit. A perfect perfume for everyday wear. Long-lasting with a great trail. In general, I love Calvin Klein perfumes, and this is no exception. It’s rich.

I don’t get the bad reviews. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s one of the best summer scents for longevity and sillage, right up there with Gioia. It’s refreshing, woody, spicy, and clean—perfect for work. I’m sure it’ll be discontinued until someone rescues it and makes it hype again.

I love it! It’s chic, simple, and clean. Opens with eucalyptus, pepper, and sparkling citrus that lead to a heart of white flowers. The dry down is woody and personal. It’s Raf Simons’ first fragrance with the ‘I Am Woman’ slogan, inspired by female power. The bottle is a cool, asymmetric sculpture. Lasts 12 hours on skin and days on clothes. It’s uncomplicated, easy, and perfect for spring and summer.

Fresh and sweet opening, slightly soapy. You can detect citrus, raspberry, and a very subtle magnolia over an amber base. On my skin, it leans more amber. It’s a daily wear, but the longevity and sillage are weak.

The bottle is ugly, the worst I’ve ever seen. It smells warm and spicy, like fig leaves and roasted pumpkin. I don’t detect much citrus. I liked it more than I expected; I’m not a fan of fresh scents, I prefer intense and woody ones. I thought it would be a light floral that says nothing. I wouldn’t buy it because there are better options; it’s just another scent without glory. I wouldn’t pay for the horrible bottle, but it could serve someone in the office who doesn’t want to stand out.

A floral critic that doesn’t resemble Light Blue; I feel it’s more similar to the Issey Miyake style, specifically L’Eau d’Issey Pure. It’s that soft, clean citrus-floral style, perfect after a shower and without offending anyone, ideal for an older woman. In my opinion, it has no higher ambitions than to smell good, although I didn’t like it myself. I wouldn’t wear it.

First impression: Did they glue an acrylic piece with a painted eye onto the bottle? What a terrible choice. CK bottles aren’t usually collectible or comfortable, but this… wow. I decided to try it despite the looks. The scent isn’t entirely unpleasant, but… it definitely isn’t worth the price. It’s eucalyptus with citrus, smells like a forest, a bit synthetic but still a forest. I didn’t test it on my skin because I felt I wouldn’t tolerate it, so I can’t speak to its trail or longevity. If you’re thinking of buying it, test it first.

A supermarket cologne at 2,000 pesos with good longevity and low sillage.

A perfume created by prestigious perfumers with the idea of the 21st-century woman, a fighter and diverse. It looked like it would be different and… it’s not. It’s basically a clean cologne smelling of orange blossom, cedar, and ambroxan. The fixation isn’t bad, but the scent is timid, confusingly similar to other colognes, and synthetic. It offers nothing new and, in my opinion, the bottle is ugly; it looks like a household cleaner container with a cap painted by an 80s comic fan.
