Today's fragrance is a blast from the past. And one that I actually own! I can't remember when I purchased this, but I'm sure it was ages ago because it was launched in 1997 and has since been discontinued. This was my favorite fragrance for a long time as I thought it was far more grown up than the CK One, Polo Ralph Lauren and Davidoff Cool Water (remember those??) favored by my peers. Yeah, I was that mature lol!
I say: For some reason my memories of Contradiction were that it was very citrusy. Now that I smell it again, it seems a lot greener and a little herbal. I still get a hint of citrus, maybe orange? Or maybe I'm just getting skewed by the color! I still like this scent quite a bit, good thing I still have half a bottle left!
They say: "Calvin Klein feels the time and creates fragrances which are in the full harmony with certain times and generations and more over they set trends.
Contradiction is a fragrance for an active urban woman, "she is always and never the same". Intensive floriental with a pronounced metal nuance was very actual in later 1990-ties.
The composition opens with the floral notes of rose, peony, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The new and modern note of eucaliptus in the middle is refreshing the classic floral buquet. The heart blends with eucaliptus, pear blossom, orchid and syringa. Oriental base includes sandal and Tonka bean" - Fragrantica.com
Okay... looks like I was pretty off on this one. I agree it is definitely refreshing, but it smells more citrusy than floral to me. Maybe it's the pear blossom I'm getting? Yeah right. Well, as I said this one is discontinued, but it seems to still be widely available online including at Walgreens.com and Amazon.com
