Launched in 2007, Man by Calvin Klein is a Woody Spicy fragrance crafted by perfumer Ann Gottlieb. The composition opens with a bright and fresh blend of Mandarin orange, bergamot, and mint, before settling into a heart of rosemary, nutmeg, and incense that adds depth and warmth. The base notes of sandalwood, guaiac wood, and amber create a grounding effect, balancing the freshness with earthy undertones.
Man embodies the brand's classic style and minimalism, offering an olfactory experience that is both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays on pulse points. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, so it's best to layer with the woody base notes for longevity. This fragrance works well in both professional settings and casual outings.
