Must have for men who want to smell great all year
I love the versatility of this perfume. I’ve been using Calvin Klein perfume over the years and you can see the evolution of its products are evident. This has just the right level of intensity and can be used for any season of the year. This is definitely worth your value!

Same storyline as many
Same storyline as many aqua like fragrances…nothing new or exciting. Typical spritz on at the gym guy scent. Smells like eternity mixed with some bergamot or ck1. Very very boring. Maybe good for a teen boys first try at cologne. I wouldn’t purchase for my boyfriend or anyone over the age of 17. Did I mention boring? Lol

It's boring and safe
Easy going scent. It's pretty boring and safe there are much better options but hey these show up at rack stores all the time. If you want a typical blue scent this is for you.

This is a great product
This cologne is great. It has amazing longevity. It’s a great cologne for every day. It has a no texture on your skin. It’s a silage and middle cologne.

CK Defy
Fresh, aquatic and a little citrusy. This CK fragrance is great for a warmer occasion. It’s light and doesn’t project crazy, but it’s a light aroma that trails behind you. It’s soft, clean and fresh

A must use for your date night
If you’re trying to get the right vibe, this is definitely the cologne to use. It will definitely put you in a great mood for date night. The scent is light and airy and projects on your date and not the surrounding. People comes in great packaging.
