CK Shock Perfume

Free sample after I bought the male version for my boyfriend - the CK Shock for her by Calvin Klein. To be honest, a bit disappointing considering it is supposed to be "SHOCK". In fact, I find it a very mild, sweet floral kind of scent. It isn't strong nor lasts long (then again, it's an EDT)... just a simple perfume suitable for a date, I guess.

CK One Shock For Her is an opulent oriental - floral fragrance with top notes of passion flower, pink peony and poppy. Its heart is made of feminine jasmine, narcissus, blackberry and dark cocoa. The base consists of amber, vanilla, musk and patchouli. [Source : Fragrantica.com]

Not on my list of perfumes to purchase in the near future... I much prefer the Forbidden Euphoria from the CK range...

Calvin Klein Euphoria for Women

My boyfriend bought two huge bottles of Calvin Klein perfume and got a whole bunch of free samples for me to try out! One of them is a 1.2ml sample of Calvin Klein's Euphoria (for women).

I remember those CK Be and CK One days back from my teenhood... and now that Imma be all grown-up, no more CK for me but the full-fledge Calvin Klein label, please. *nonsense* This perfume's scent is described as "exotic fruits", "rich black orchid" and "sensual woods". The actual top notes, etc, are as follow :

Top notes: Pomegranate, Persimmon, Lush green accords
Middle notes: Black Orchid, Champaca flower
Base notes: Black violet, Liquid amber, Mahogany, Cream accords

The perfume smells freaking sexy, please. I love it! This is a definite repurchase for me (er... when I finish the Vera Wang, Chloe, DKNY, etc... crap! Too much perfume, but this one is irresistable). I love fruity scents, but this one isn't one of those light, summery type of perfumes. It's, for a lack of better word, really exotic smelling, just like what the product says. Also, because it's such a strong scent, it's somewhat masculine-ish... it makes me think of a strong, confident, BOLD woman. And that's really sexy. :)

I find it suitable for all occasions - not too strong that you can't wear it to work, perfect for romantic dates with your boyfriend... it's so suitable as a signature scent.

So this, and Burberry Brit Sheer is top on my "To buy" list at the moment. :D
