The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2002 and crafted by perfumer Nathalie Lorson, Truth Lush by Calvin Klein is a woody Oriental floral fragrance that marries freshness with warmth. The composition opens with the crispness of bergamot and bamboo before leading into a heart of rose. The base notes of sandalwood and amber provide a powdery, spicy contrast that grounds the scent in earthy comfort. While Calvin Klein’s brand is known for its minimalist elegance, Truth Lush offers a more layered experience, blending classic floral elements with woody depth.
Truth Lush is best applied in two sprays to capture both its bright opening notes and deep base. The powdery warmth develops gradually, so it’s ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves as the day progresses.
