Reveal Men
Calvin Klein by Ann Gottlieb, Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Olivier Gillotin, Marypierre Julien OriginalScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper wild card. Some reckon it's Calvin Klein's best-kept secret - a sweet, boozy, fruity delight with surprising longevity. Others, though, find it a synthetic, syrupy mess, like a rotten fruit or a sickly sweet headache. Definitely try before you buy, but if you do blind buy and love it, you've bagged a bargain beast.
A budget riff on Calvin Klein Reveal Men - that unusual sweet, boozy, agave-and-pear character over warm amber and tonka. Find NYC nails the divisive gourmand-fruity opening but reads flatter and sweeter than the original, trading some of Reveal's smooth depth and 6-8 hour staying power for a louder, simpler accord.

Its strong sweetness and impressive performance make it less ideal for a formal office setting, where it might be too much.

Seasons
The sweet, boozy fruit and warm amber suit cool spring days and the shoulder seasons, easing off in high summer heat.
