Launched in 2010 by Calvin Klein and created by perfumer Sophie Labbé, Beauty is a fragrance that represents elegance and sophistication. The composition opens with ambrette (musk mallow) before transitioning to jasmine and settling into the warmth of Virginia cedar. While it was positioned as a more mature departure from Calvin Klein's typical youth-focused fragrances, reviewers often describe Beauty as 'pretty and wearable' but somewhat unmemorable compared to other daring orientals of its time. The elegant ad campaign featuring Diane Kruger further underscores its sophisticated appeal.

Application Tips
Beauty is best applied lightly — its subtle nuances are most apparent close to the skin. The ambrette seed note fades quickly, so focus on allowing the jasmine and cedar base notes to develop over time. This fragrance is ideal for daytime wear, where its understated elegance shines.
