In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

CK One Shock For Her by Calvin Klein turns away from the fresh, shared citrus of the original nineties line to offer a sweet, fruity floral with a soft gourmand base. This calvin klein perfume opens on a lively floral surge of passion flower, pink peony, and red poppy, giving it a bright and lightly sweet introduction…

Reviews →

Madison by Brooks Brothers brings a surprising contrast to the table. It wraps a bright raspberry and pink pepper opening around a dry, clean Toscana leather base. This floral-oriental is designed for women who want a sweet, sparkling scent that finishes with a sophisticated, slightly rugged dry-down.
