I bought this twice, once when it first came out and a while a go when my drugstore had these on sale. In my memory I loved this fragrance which I remebered being a soapy but spicy masculine scent...

Ok, I've GOT to revisit this one and see what the fuss is all about! I had it once, in a deodorant spray version, which is not supposed to linger on the skin, but I swear I sprayed half of the...

The contradiction is this. CK shook up the fragrance market when it launched the likes of this product. Back then it was received as edgy and pioneering. But now, judged against more modern...

Confident is a word that has frequently been used to describe this fragrance. It is an interesting scent that does require confidence on the part of the wearer. Spicy and soapy. I don't really...

I wore this extensively throughout high school, and remembered it as being soft and warm with a kick of spice. When I found a mini at my local perfume shop, I quickly snatched it up and applied to...

I give this perfume the maximum grade because it's one of those great successes (imo) of the perfume industry when the story they are trying to sell us actually translates through the fragrance....

This is indeed a generic perfume, as most of Calvin Klein's are (when they're not clubbing you over the head [obsession]). However, there are a few interesting notes in there--eucalyptus,...

This is one of those fragrances that I find incredibly generic and boring. To me, Contradiction just smells like perfume--no part of it stands out or is especially pleasant. I have the lotion and...

I am so sad this is discontinued, it was my signature scent for many years until I discovered Alien by Thierry Mugler, but I still love this. The good thing about this one is that it smells...

This is my favorite scent of all time! I have been wearing it for many years. It's discontinued now- so i am sure there are plenty of fakes out there, which may explain why some people are...

Add me to the list of people who can't properly wear Contradiction. I misted some on today and it resembled one of those really super-cheap butterscotch hard candies for about ten minutes. It then...

First, let me say that I love the way Contradiction smells. It's a very adult fragrance and it's been discontinued for a while now so when I saw a bottle at Marshall's I bought it. But...

I first bought Contradiction 10 years ago, when it came to market, when I was 17. Since then I have associated this scent with my teenage years (and that's not particularly a good thing ;) I have a...

I bought this when it first came out many years ago and fell in love with the really creative bottle... the fragrance is really unique, and has a strong musky & sweet smell to it. Quite special.....

disappointing :| first of all, the packaging really gets on my nerves, with the lid covering 80% of the product. Can be a hassle to take on and off, I even managed to make it fall over a few times....

I got this as a gift from my first boyfriend 6 years ago. It's lasted me until now and I still love it. It smells sexy and gives me the feeling of a powdery softness. Very sex kitten.
