First, a direct opening: a hit of oud that dominates everything else, and watch out—it’s not just another oud perfume. Then, as it dries down, the pine needles and rose emerge, giving it a fresh and floral vibe. I sense an ‘animal’ touch from the note combo, as if there’s something sexually attractive about this Eau de Parfum (humans can’t actually smell pheromones). I’ll keep testing its scent and performance.

Powerful opening and projection, but it lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin. To repeat: it’s not just the oud; the other notes emerge later, adding a fresh touch, perhaps thanks to the pine needles. Once it dries down, it doesn’t bother at all—it settles into something light, sweet, and warmer. Highly recommended from the Euphoria Men line if you can find it at a good price (I have a 2016 tester batch code), though I don’t think it’s in production anymore. It smells distinctly different from the Euphoria Liquid Gold in the same line, which lacks oud. The oud might be a love-it-or-hate-it situation, but once you get used to it, it can become one of your favorite notes in its sweeter, gourmand, accords, or animalic variants—something Oriental perfumery does so well. Go for it; in my opinion, Calvin Klein stepped onto more serious aromatic paths and nailed it, just as they did with Euphoria Amber Gold or Euphoria Men Intense (this one also features oud), which will likely join the collection. I wear it during the day in cold or moderate climates and at night in any temperature. It can project elegance or a more formal vibe, maybe because of the white bottle choice. Cheers.
