DownTown Calvin Klein Fragrance Review

the new fragrance by Calvin Klein

It's no surprise that Calvin Klein is one of my favorite perfume brands. I love the classic CK One, an iconic scent that made me feel in love with Calvin Klein fragrances. When I got my first paycheck, I bought CK Euphoria EDP and it came with a gorgeous black tote which I use for work. My other favorites are Anna Sui, Marc Jacobs, Nina Ricci, Annick Goutal and Kenzo Flower.

an actress who always remains true to herself

Recently I gotten hold of Calvin Klein's latest fragrance called DownTown for her. It reminds me of the song up town girls haha but quite the opposite. DownTown is created for the modern urban girl who lives in her own world without rules. Original and real to herself. Now that sounds rebellious sexy right?

light pink magical florals that turns into warm musk

Not as sexy as it smells! I absolutely love the new scent, it's so me. A person who is true to herself and dares to be live the world by her own. This speaks so much of how I grew up in an urban town and learning to live independently without a care for other's expectations of me. After all it's my life, who is there to tell me what I can or cannot do.

rockstar pink I called it hehe!!!

The scent smells soft and empowering at the same time. It has the balances of woods and soft, floral scent to create a confident, modern fragrance with a unique signature and unexpected edge. For me, it smells like bubbly sweet pink florals when I first wear it. After an hour, the scent quickly becomes warmer, creating a more sensual musky dusk scent. It's a great perfume to be used in the day and gradually it becomes musky by the hour. I would wear this when I am out for work in the city by myself seeking inspirations of the day.

The top notes: Italian cedrat, bergamot, tunisian neroli, green pear, watery plum.
The mid notes: pink peppercorn, violet leaf, gardenia petals.
The end notes: Texan cedarwood, incense, vetiver, velvet musks.

 breaking apart from the usual with a hollow cap!

The packaging? A light pink bottle with a natural curve, is simple and feminine. The unique silver cap which is hollow with bright fuchsia accent gives the bottle it's electrifying modern edge. I don't see any point in having a hollow cap but I am guessing that's where the uniqueness comes in to say, breaking away from the norm. You don't see perfume caps hollow any day!

DownTown black-and-white ad campaign

The face of DownTown Calvin Klein is none other than actress Rooney Mara. You might remember her as Erica Albright the ex-girlfriend of Mark Zuckerberg played by Jesse Eisenberg. She and director David Fincher created the black-and-white campaign that tells the story of a young woman living in her own world, breaking away from the 'expected'. Set in New York City, the short film potrays the multi-faceted life of a globally recognizable actress who always remains true to herself.

DownTown Calvin Keline is available at all Calvin Klein fragrance counters near you.
