Product Description
What does Calvin Klein Defy Eau de Parfum for men smell like?
Defy Eau de Parfum is a classic, elegant composition that centers on a luxurious, sophisticated leather accord. Master perfumer Pascal Gaurin, who also worked on Defy Eau de Toilette, created a completely distinct scent, devoid of the crisp, cologne character of the toilette version. While both compositions are based on a dry, woody DNA, the Eau de Parfum has a warmer, sweeter, and darker undertone, making it a better evening scent, especially in the colder months.
Top notes: mandarin, black pepper
Heart notes: saffiano leather, suede
Base notes: vetiver
Defy Eau de Parfum is a fragrance in which the leather-suede accord plays the leading role, around which the entire composition is built, and these notes are noticeable, with varying intensity, until the end. The composition opens with the unobvious, sour sweetness of mandarin, sharpened by the vibrant, spicy pepper, creating an exceptionally energetic and inviting beginning. Leather in Defy resonates naturally, with a slightly smoky, yet powdery, velvety quality. This allows the composition to skillfully balance aquatic freshness with refined, complex elegance. This effect is emphasized by the woody, bitter, dry note of vetiver, which gives Defy a masculine, rough character.
