Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crave EDP
Crave is a divisive blast from the past, a fresh and sporty scent that perfectly captures Y2K youthful energy. For many, its unique, invigorating sparkle outweighs its often-criticised synthetic edge and short lifespan, making it a nostalgic favourite, albeit hard to track down.
Favourite
Our Verdict - CK183 Crave EDP
Calvin Klein's Crave was discontinued back in the mid-2000s and is now hard to find, so this CK183 dupe is a rare shot at the original's peppery, basil-forward aromatic fougere without hunting down a rare bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit

Crave

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and clean nature makes it suitable for casual wear and sports, as many users attested it for gym or summer. However, its often-cited poor longevity and projection combined with a youthful, sporty vibe make it less ideal for formal settings or dates where more gravitas and presence are typically desired.

CK183 Crave

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A bright, spicy-aromatic scent that performs best in spring and summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Casual and office-friendly by default; the peppery aromatic profile is too informal for black-tie wear.
