Reveal Men by Calvin Klein

It’s melon, but with liquor in between; you can definitely taste the alcohol mixed with that fruity and aromatic sweetness.

It flew off the shelf and was a total fail; those notes of alcoholic melon with ginger never worked. It smells like cough syrup or a carnival, very weird. I’ve been a CK fan forever, but this one scares me.

CK Reveal smells original at first, but it’s very synthetic (could be good or bad). Literally smells like pears soaked in woody liquor-type syrup, very sweet with a ginger and tonka bean roughness that gives it an artificial touch. As it dries down, it gets better and balances out; it works for almost everything except extreme heat. For under $30, it delivers more than others in its price range. It’s sweeter than it should be; that synthetic touch might scare some people, but it’s not a bad perfume. I’ve gotten compliments. Looking for more is pointless, though it’s respectable if you don’t like it. Smells masculine but could be unisex; regular quality but original, best for temperate or cold climates. I invite you to try it before it runs out and the price goes up. Rating: 7/10.

Short for ‘excess’—it’s an excess of sweetness. I don’t recommend it; it’s too much from the start.

Another reformulated fragrance. When I bought it in 2016, it was a real tiger, and now it’s not even a kitten. That can’t be; what abuse by these companies. On my part, I won’t buy perfumes from brands older than two years anymore.

The CK Reveal I bought says it’s from France; I’d like to know where the one you guys bought was made. Thanks.

I wear it during the day and for elegant occasions. I love that fruity-liquor touch from the resin and pear brandy. Over time, it becomes a bit more subtle, but it maintains its body very well on my skin. Recommended for men who dare to try contemporary aromas.

Ugh, so many varied opinions… I don’t want to step on toes. All I’m saying is that I’ve never been fascinated by a CK fragrance; none of them ever disgusted me, and this one isn’t either… yes, it’s very timid, a scent too common for the interesting notes the website claims. Give it a try, we all smell things differently. Personally, it didn’t work for me: it opens with melon and pear, a blend that felt more like a woman’s scent; I didn’t find any masculinity in its dry down. Everything is so timid and compact; I couldn’t even perceive its stages, it jumped straight from the opening to pure tonka bean and vanished after an hour. I’ll keep buying underwear from this brand, which is excellent, but they haven’t convinced me on fragrance yet.

Wow, Priethcallas, what a truth… I tried this fragrance (as is custom, I walked out of the store with the scent on me to appreciate it in fresh air) and found a Great Reunion… yes, with FRESH AIR ONLY. As for the fragrance itself, what a tragedy… Calvin Klein doing this… Please, someone help them, tell a friend this isn’t going anywhere. I didn’t get it because it didn’t give me time, space, or room to understand. How can it be budget-friendly when there’s plenty of time to waste money badly? No, seriously, I HATE IT. Only good for car air freshener if nothing else works… It doesn’t work for bathrooms or kitchens; any other ambient scent crushes it easily.

The sample left me wanting more. It starts super well—fruity but not acidic, with that brandy liquor touch and a resinous base. The downside is that after eight hours, I couldn’t smell the middle notes anymore; I jumped straight to the tonka bean and amber, which lasted until the end. It seems much better than Encounter, which was a total fiasco for me. With a bit more than a milliliter, the trail was heavy for about two or three hours, then moderate, and even at twelve hours it was still noticeable. I see it more as an autumn daytime scent, though once it dries down, it works well for evening too.

I’m using this for the first time since buying it. I’ve smelled it from the bottle many times and was eager to wear it ASAP. Today I wore it to work, and I really like it; I’ve received several compliments. It feels fresh, not heavy. Despite having a couple of strong notes, my nose distinguishes pear, suede, amber, and melon. It feels a bit synthetic overall, but I don’t think it’s a bad everyday office perfume. It’s not expensive either. Rating: 7/10. I used it again today and I like it more and more. Still getting compliments. Excellent blind buy since there was no tester at the store.

I tried it in the store with high hopes but it disappointed me. At first, it smells like super strong orange juice (powder type). Then the orange fades and a cinnamon scent comes out. Fortunately, the salesperson put it on a cardboard strip instead of my wrist, because I wouldn’t have been able to handle it all night. I’ll admit that the projection and sillage of Reveal are good; in fact, I left the strip in the bathroom as a room freshener and it still smells days later. If you want to stand out, this perfume will help. If you’re looking for elegance, this little juice isn’t for you.

As of now, it has arrived in Colombia. Excellent perfume, good longevity and average trail, over 8 hours on skin. A good option for evening and special events.

For me, one of the best fragrances launched by CK in some time. In my opinion, it’s the other side of Euphoria. A warm, woody fragrance with sweet notes that aren’t cloying, ideal for cold weather or night, and a light mist during the day or heat. I’ve loved it, and it has excellent longevity on my skin. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
