What Does Calvin Klein DEFY Smell Like?
At first, the fresh, bright tones of mandarin oil grace your senses, alongside a dash of black pepper before the star of the show takes centre stage: leather. A smooth, sensual blend of saffiano leather and rich suede for a rugged fragrance that descends into a base of subtly smoked vetiver oil, which is responsibly sourced from Haiti.
Top notes are Mandarin Oil, Black Pepper. Heart note is Leather Accord. Base note is Vetiver.
Why It’s Escentual:
DEFY Eau de Parfum builds on the original woody vibe of the fan-favourite 2021 Defy Eau de Toilette to offer a darker, warmer signature. The grassy, woody vetiver tones and citrusy opening remain, but the Eau de Parfum’s leather accord takes the scent in a fresh new direction that CK fragrance fans will love to explore.
The bottle is very clearly CK, too. It evokes the brand’s clothing heritage through its textured cap - it feels like a pair of your favourite jeans. The curved yet sharp glass bottle also nods to the original Defy fragrance, but it’s now given a dark black ombre finish to reflect the scent’s new intensity.
The Best Way To Use It:
Spritz Calvin Klein DEFY onto your neck, chest and wrists.
The Sustainable Side:
Housed in a recyclable cardboard box from response, FSC-certified sources. CK also use vetiver oil that’s responsibly sourced from Haiti.
