After great olfactory successes such as Eternity, CK One, or Euphoria, Calvin Klein presented in 2012 Encounter, the story of a meeting, the intensity of that electric moment between a man and a woman.
The romantic encounter according to Calvin Klein
With Encounter, Calvin Klein delivers the secrets of an encounter, its intensity, the very moment when eyes meet for the first time. Intensity, unease, and passion are inevitably present with Encounter. The game of seduction offers infinite possibilities, and the Encounter man is a seducer who knows what he wants. Here, tension is at its peak and anything is possible. Little by little, mystery comes to light, and the veil is torn away. Desirable and enigmatic, Encounter makes one swoon and relive the first moments of the meeting. An intense composition.
The woody-spicy notes of Encounter
Encounter is a woody and spicy fragrance, mysterious and sensual. Encounter opens on the energizing notes of mandarin. This is blended with the vitality of cardamom and rum. The heart is more opulent and rich thanks to the combination of Egyptian jasmine with pepper and the liqueur-like accords of cognac. Finally, the base is very masculine, even animalic. It is composed of oud wood, an ingredient well known for its sensual effects, and Atlas cedar. The whole is wrapped in an intense charisma with the presence of musks. As for the bottle, at first glance it appears rather minimalist, but it proves to be very sophisticated. The composition is housed in a block of glass, which gives the man all his confidence and vitality. The intense blue case is split in two by a line of brushed steel, for a particularly refined finish. Mysterious and elegant, the Encounter man provokes and savors every moment of this unprecedented encounter. Come experience it with him!
