Calvin Klein CK Be

...I've been liberally doused with Calvin Klein. Which isn't altogether surprising, as I have been splashing it about a bit. CK BE is a fragrance for men and women and as I definitely qualify in one of those categories, I think I'm entitled to wear some. So why am I all beautified and fragrant? - because, Mrs P is treating me to bit of nosh this evening and like the fusspot she is, she insisted on a servicing for yours truly - it's her turn later. Not ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

...BE Women and Men / CALVIN KLEIN The concept of a fragrance that is made for both a man and a woman is relatively new to me. When I was in my younger years I would wear all of the basic manly smelling colognes and aftershaves like English Leather, Canoe, Old Spice, Hai Karate and Brut. But back then I did not give much thought about how I smelled, I would just walk into my local drug store and buy what ever I thought most men were wearing, what ever ...
...makes it impossible for people to figure out what I’m wearing and that adds even more mystery to an already mysterious Mr. Stockholder. I give CK - BE Women and Men / CALVIN KLEIN a perfect 5-stars I give 2BU – on www.delagar.com a perfect 5-stars ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

I received a 50ml bottle of CK Be on my birthday from my girlfriend. I opened the little black box to reveal the smooth textured bottle from which I poured a few drops onto my hand. My nose was greeted by an aroma of fruity flowers with a pleasant woody smell, which would appeal to both a man or woman. The smell is not so strong it will leave you gasping for fresh air, nor will it leave you smelling nothing but fresh air - The strength is just above ...
...hours or so. I am very conscientious when it comes to expensive aftershave. I hate to see any expensive fragrance being wasted, and I knew one day I would foolishly tilt the bottle to an extreme obtuse angle and waste half of it, so I chose to fit the spray adaptor which was contained within the box. It was only after fitting this little device I realised that the bottle would no longer fit in it’s box. Being a proud owner of such an aftershave I ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

I first decided that i liked this particular fragrance some time last year when my brother came back from shopping with bags full of different perfumes and face products, CK Be being one of them - I had seen the perfume before as i own CK one and have seen the very similarly designed, CK Be on many occasions although i had never smelt it for myself. I could smell my brother wearing it one day and was pleased to be informed that this lovely fragrance ...
...The bottle of 220ml has lasted well over 8 months now as you dont need to use as much as you might with other perfumes. It is not a strong fragrance but can only be described as cooling and subtle. The bottle is a very good design, exactly the same style, design and shape as CK one with a handy atomizer nozzle which sprays a fine mist over you. The bottle is also good for men who want to just 'slap-it-on' as you can remove the nozzle and pour a ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

I place a lot of significance on my perfume cos I believe that humans rarely forget what they smell, and an aroma can always make you relive a moment in the past. Also, often people remember other peoples' odours and would think of that person straight away as soon as they sense that specific perfume or smell. That's why I have always tried to find just the right perfume to represent myself to other people, and trust me I have tried many. At the ...
...I still have not found the right thing. However, I don't deny I have fallen in love with the so sexy smell of CK Be although I can't bring myself to use it personally. I first experienced this fragrance standing nearby a male friend, and on that day, I was literally sniffing him up all day, quite embarassing to say the truth but it is just such an attractive smell to the opposite sex. It's not one of those floral or fruity smell and it's completely ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

I have to say that this is a really sexy smell, that totally attracts the opposite sex. It's perfect for both men and women, and totally obliterates classic bodge (nasty, unattractive body odour). I can't help it, if a man is wearing this, I totally cling to him, like a thin film of plastic round a cheese and pickle sandwich. It has both a floral quality, touched with the wand of masculinity. It is of utmost benefit for those of you out there, ...
...has the staying power of Sir Cliff Richard. Simple packaging, and can be worn both day and night. Lads, do you remember what a great effect "Jazz" had on the girls at school? (if you were born around 1970something)- (I wasn't, mind you). Well, it's better than that! Gentlemen, slap it all over, as opposed to "Brut" or "Old Spice" - for these are not good. (pretty repulsive actually). Girls, give up on the "Exclamation" and "Charlie" - for these ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

I got my first bottle of CK B almost a year ago now, my dad got it duty free for me from Gatwick airport. I have used it almost every day since then, and I still haven't needed to buy another bottle. The reason is because I hardly use any, because it hardly needs any. The little atomizer nozzle sprays a fine mist of the aftershave, two of these "sprays" on each side of the face will keep it smelling nice all day. The bottle is an excellent design, ...
...spray it on, then simply remove the atomizer nozzle, and the bottle is designed to allow you to pour a little ammount on to your hand, and slap it on your face. The smell itself is a very cooling, subtle smell. My girlfreind likes the smell of it a lot. Another good feature of this product is that it does not sting your eyes, should any go in. It's not comfortable when it goes in, but it certainly does not sting or make my eyes go red. I would ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

This is one perfume that I actually don’t mind paying £36 for it’s a perfume that is excellent for every occasion. I love perfumes but I can’t afford them to tell you the truth and although they come low down on my priority of lists when I do buy a bottle it has to be the right one. This is where the ‘perfume’ shop helps, if they know you’ll be spending there happy to help, so have you’re money visible and ...
...agree with whatever you say. My friend had this perfume and it smelt really nice, so I remembered to check it out. The scent was quite strong without be too strong and a small squirt was strong enough-so it would last me a long time. The woman was very keen on it, as she was on almost every bottle. But, I did like it the bottle was nice and creative without being too flashy and with the scent nice I decided to purchase. But not before I tested most ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

...fairly recent product of the Calvin Clein range and although i feel it is more of a masculine fragrance i still wear it gladly on some occassions. Ck one will always be my top of the chart fav. from the Ck range but I think that CK B is still just as refreshing and is original when compared to other smells that stand tall on my shelf. Many people recognise the smell of Ck B which is very satisfying because it seems like a compliament to me when a ...
...that because it is a unisex parfume more men are 'smelt' wearing it, but strangely enough I tend to prefer the smell of masculine aftershave and eau du toilet!! Anyway to the point, it is a lovely smell and I have recommended it to many of my friends and family. ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

...very different to the other calvin klein perfumes. ideal to wear for casual or when you are feeling extremely sporty. no need to put too much as the perfume is quite strong enough. if put too much, it smells of mens aftershave. i got an sample of this perfume and it had been advertising on my magazines for a while too. at first i didnt liek the smell, but after a day or tow, i grew to like it and i like it more now! i think it is manly for students ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

...less of an opinion about Calvin Klein's product than it is an endorsement for an alternative. I won't deny that CK Be is a top line fragrance, but the truth is I simply can't afford to use it. I really like the CKBe fragrance - and if I were earning more than a teacher's salary I might be able to afford to use it. Luckily I stumbled across a product that really helped me out. I have not found many "OUR VERSION OF... " type fragrances to be very ...
...either... My apologies to Calvin Klein but a full day's salary is just too extravagant for my blood - the alternative is not only cheaper but lasts just as long as the real thing. I've used nasty cheap stuff in the past that ends up reeking of stagnant flyspray after an hour but I find the fragrance of this product to be very consistent. Goodbye to CKBe for my Good Buy!! ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

My Ralph Lauren ran out so I decided an alternative and having sampled a little squirt in the ‘Perfume Shop’ I thought it was really nice to wear for almost any occasion so I decided to purchase a bottle. And after paying £38 I still think I made the right choice. It smells nice and the staying power was very good, I didn’t need to re-apply during the day. It’s a nice scent not to heavy but still strong enough to be noticed. ...
...perfume you buy, it is quality and makes you feel more confident as you wear it through out the day. I can remember when my brother used to have the CKB for males and that smelt nice so it seems they have a good collection because the women’s one not that bad either. If you are on the hunt for a perfume and don’t mind paying a fair bit then this will be a good choice. The bottle is still nearly full and I have had it for three weeks. ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

I haven't used CK Be for a couple of years now. I remember when it was first released about 4/5 years ago. I used to like CK one, and was eager to try CK be. I bought my first bottle of it in the US, and immediately preferred it to CK one. I find, personally, that although both are labelled unisex, CK one seems to be more of a feminine smell and CK be a masculine smell. I cannot easily describe its scent. It is kind of sweet but musky. It is never ...
...long lasting smell - I can usually still smell it in the evening after a full day at work. I find that it is a subtle smell that doesn't shout out "I'm wearing an aftershave" I stopped using it, a couple of years ago, so that I could try out new fragrances. Just before Christmas I was browsing in Tesco and saw that the 100ml bottle was only £21.95, which I thought was a bargain, so I decided to buy some again. I certainly don't regret it, as it ...

Review of Calvin Klein CK Be

After the success of CK1, I bought CK Be expecting the same sort of distinguished smell as Ck1, no chance of that! I was realy disappointed with the smell, it was really faint on me and didn't last very long at all, I couldn't smell it and neither could anyone else for that matter. I know that perfumes smell different on different people but it was ridiculous. On the sample card in the shop it smelt ok, not the beautiful smell of CK 1, but not ...
...smell it and it was almost un recognisable, unlike CK1. I thought that it was over hyped and after the success of CK1 I think that it was flogging a dead horse to launch CK Be, It was a waste of time and money buying it, and I have gone back to good old CK 1. ...
