Calvin Klein Women, Reviewed by the Numbers

Every fragrance review promises honesty; few bring receipts.

Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Orange Blossom, Magnolia, Hedione, Raspberry and Tea. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Ambroxan, Cedar, Olibanum, Cashmeran and Violet.
