Your backdrop is so well displayed when I first started watching your vids I thought you were in a shop.

great video! Love the description of the frags

Great List! really enjoyed it.

CK Shock is my go to grab and go, for just running errands, or coaching my son’s baseball team. It’s so cheap, and smells good. Great grab & go.

Awesome!

This was great to watch. It's nice that you review frags from across the spectrum.

The one fragrance that I have yet to see ANY reviewer tackle is Escape. I wonder why that is? I think it's a really good scent.

Great review Steven, i was surprised that didn't include 2 classic, two of the biggest names for CK. Obsession, and Eternety

Once again, great video!

good one as always. thanx

I loooove Ck Crave!!! My summer fragance for many years.In Spain is out of the market 😖. Very nice video, thanks my friend 😉

it's funny how so many of us started our journeys with Calvin Klein. My first fragrance was Calvin Klein Truth for Men. I think I've gone through 5 bottles now. That being said, setting aside the huge nostalgia factor for Truth (and Euphoria Men as a close second), the Calvin Klein releases for the past two years have been solid; Eternity Now, Reveal, Euphoria Gold (and it's super amazing middle eastern Euphoria Liquid Gold counterpart) just to name a few. I think if we're honest with ourselves the recent releases might just be hands down their best work ever! But then again Nostalgia plays a huge role in fragrance appreciation so I still expect to see the classics (CK One, Eternity, Obsession etc.) in everyone's lists lol :D

Ck ahhh the scent of memory....thanks for reviewing this! :)

Really nice review! Like always interesting , CK ONE? A classic.

I actually picked up Crave not that long ago, it's getting harder to find. It really is a fantastic CK release, it's unfortunate that it's discontinued.

Excellent video! You don't ask for subscription as many KZreadrs do towards the beginning of their every video. Your videos are straight to the point with fun personal anecdotes. You don't put sponsor or sell your products. You put timestamps in the description. I normally do not like longer videos and tend to skip around but thoroughly enjoyed your video.

Hey Steven, good to see this video. Waiting for your Winter list by now.. My favorite from the house is ck IN2U. What do you think about it. plz let me know. 😃

Loved this! Euphoria brings me back to when I first met my partner last year... In2U takes me back to my first years of college, as well as Obsession Night.

Truth is one that is highly underrated from this house. And can be bought for dirt cheap online. CK One Summer 2013 gets the job done, too.

My first ever cologne was when I was 14 back in the early 80s. It was called Calvin (tall rectangular black bottle). I can't imagine the flood of memories if I were to ever smell that again.

Finally some love for Crave!!

Really liked this video, Red! Would love to see you do more lists like these from other houses. Stay blessed!

Ck Euphoria Intense for men is one of my favorites! My wife has the perfume version also.

Just like you, I started my frag journey with a CK frag which until now I still have in my collection for the nostalgia it offers,Eternity. I two CK's when I started my frag love affair,the other being Escape but don't have a bottle of that one anymore. It was CK Eternity,Escape.Dior Fahrenheit and Davidoff Cool Water was my rotation during my starting years and I always smelled good!😊

My top 3 Ck frags are Ck Truth, Ck Man, and my recent acquisition which is Ck One Shock very polarizing scent indeed!! Enjoyed your picks btw! Not my favorite house though...used to be, but whatever! Still will always be a fan! Thanks :)

Anyone remember Crave? Found an old bottle of it in my old rucksack, still smells great to this day, fresh and clean! Edit: it’s in your top 5! Love it!

Great review, I'm not a fan of CK, but i think Eternity deserved to be in this list

Escape for men was my favorite fragrance in the 90's brings back high school memories

Just tried Defy today. I wasn't too impressed, but a lot of older CK fragrances have really been impressing me lately. I think Eternity Air is an excellent and underrated flanker. It's quite weak, so I use two sprays rather than one, but it really hits a mood for bright summer days. CK One will live forever. And the original Eternity is probably closest to my heart.

funny that i tuned in today because i received an unsolicited compliment for ck shock.nice.i must confess its not my favorite but its ok and nice.it gets the job done at a good price. as always good video. thanks for putting out content.i know it takes lots of time and effort. so thank you steven.

I’ve only tried CKEuphoria and it was such a great everyday scent. Did I love it? Kinda. Would I buy more? Yea, it’s pretty good

I just recently got Euphoria and Eternity and I love them both. I like Eternity for the average day and Euphoria for the more intimate date type events.

I love Crave! My first modern fragrance (before I only had Aramis, Gray Flannel, Aspen, Royal Copenhagen) after Chanel Pour Homme, just the best gift ever!

Good video! Love Summer 14! reminds me of RB St. Barts ☺ thanks for this!

I avoided CK fragrances simply because they were everywhere. So look forward to experimenting with the ones you think are the best of the lot. Thanks!

Hey Rode, think you can review CK Euphoria Amber Gold!!? It sounds very interesting.

The first cologne I bought that wasn't called English Leather or Jovan Musk was Calvin Klein's Calvin. I believe it was their 1st men's scent. It was discontinued around 1993 or so. I went back to buy another bottle and they didn't have it anymore and tried to get me to buy Obsession but it just wasn't the same. Thank you for the great reviews!

In the 80s Obsession For Men was incredible. Girls would throw me up agains me locker and hold me there and smell me. They all went nuts. Then it was reformulated and doesn’t smell anything like it used to. However, I just bought a vintage bottle today. So happy!!

I would like to see polo 360 red for its staying power in being respected in the community, in "some eyes" out performing aqua Di gio in compliments, and the recent discounted prices "bang for buck". I like CK, and generic/mainstream or not they consistently produce appealing fragrances, by in large. even though I don't currently own many of their bottles anymore, I respect the house. great video idea hands down

CK Shock is a great fragrance, but so underrated! I was surprised when I tried CK2, I was expecting a generic, boring scent, but it's actually one of the best CK fragrances.

SK One Shock smells fantastic and got a bottle at Marshall's for $16 on clearance. Like most CK, especially CK One line, I just wish it was stronger and lasted longer. You really have to pump at least 4 times if you want to stick around for a few hours. It'll linger on the skin for a bit, but the projection fades fairly rapidly.

Calvin Klein CK One was my first fragrance (:

Way back in the day (mid 80's) I really liked Obsession, Eternity and Escape. Really liked the fruit initial scent of "Escape."

Obsession! just from the historical value. might be before your time but this fragrance was a major seller in the 80's

I haven't explored Calvin Klein's fragrances except just recently purchased Obsession For Men and Obsession (unisex/women)! I am loving them both! Now I guess i need to take a look at some others! Love the fact that they are no longer very expensive but they still smell very expensive.

Thanks 4 sharing my Brotha. Just a quick Q????... can you tell me if there is any cologne that smells like a proper cuban cigar on the market?.

Haven’t had the chance to smell some of these! Got a bottle of Euphoria and received compliments on it which doesn’t happen often

CK be! the first designer fragrance i have bought. Ck be would easily be my signature scent but it sucks on the performance/longevity part..sad.. only last an hour on my skin, 2 hours tops.. :(

I loved CK. CK Be was my going out frag back in the day 👌

Hi Steve you missed out "Truth" that is an awesome scent from CK. Try it out.

I know I'm a little late to this discussion, but the original Calvin Klein in the dark blue bottle from the 80's was da' bomb! It looks like they've re-released it but it wasn't the same. Also, a really nice date fragrances is Calvin Klein Euphoria Intense (or is it called "Extreme?" Don't have the bottle close to me). Very nice stuff. And their "Dark Angel" is a great winter fragrance as well. Just my two cents...

Wow ! I thought the original Eternity would definitely be on the list !
