Calvin Klein Truth Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

Calvin Klein Truth Eau de Parfum 100ml is a calm, woody-floral for women, launched in 2000 as part of the brand's late-90s and early-2000s wave of minimalist, "honest" scents. A green-fresh opening of bamboo, clover, bergamot and lemon gives way to a soft floral heart of lily, peony and mimosa, before settling into a warm, comforting base of sandalwood, vanilla, amber and musk.

About Calvin Klein

Calvin Klein founded his eponymous fashion house in New York in 1968, and the brand's fragrances — produced under licence by Coty — have shaped contemporary perfumery since the 1985 launch of Obsession. Truth was launched in 2000 as a deliberately understated, naturalistic feminine signature, in keeping with the brand's late-1990s aesthetic of clean lines and quiet, modern luxury.

Who it's for

Truth suits women looking for a quiet, mature daily fragrance that reads as polished and confident rather than sweet or showy. The green-and-woody character makes it a strong year-round option, particularly comfortable for office and daytime wear. Anyone who appreciates pared-back compositions such as CK Eternity or Donna Karan Cashmere Mist will recognise the territory.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck and behind the ears — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the best longevity. As an eau de parfum, two to three sprays balance well; the soft floral heart and warm wood-and-musk drydown develop over the first hour.
