Calvin Klein Be Cologne (2023) – Everything You Need To Know
CK Be.
A fresh fragrance with a twist.
Calvin Klein Be was released in 1996. It is based on green, wood, and powdery lavender. It lasts three to four hours on the skin with intimate projection. In this review, I will describe its smell and performance and if it’s worth it.

What Does Calvin Klein Be Smell Like?
The opening is a subtle blend of musk, lavender, peach, and citric bergamot. A lot is happening in the opening, but the general idea is extreme cleanliness and a soapy-like aroma. Lavender is the most prominent with its fresh, aromatic nature.
After a few minutes, warmer and spicy additions pair with the subtle citruses. Again, this amplifies the freshness of the scent.
The dry down retains its clean and soapy aroma but heads in a greener direction. I smell significantly more florals and woody notes. It is less sweet as the peach from the top has faded. This is what you’ll smell for the rest of the wear.

Performance
The longevity is in the three to four-hour range. The projection is intimate. It starts by pushing out a few inches; after the first one to two hours, it becomes a skin scent. This performance is with five sprays.
This is spring, summer, and early fall wear. It doesn’t have the depth to last in cool or cold weather. As for occasions, it is best in casual situations.
The mass appeal and likability are average. This is an enjoyable and quality scent for the price, but nothing groundbreaking or ultra attention-grabbing. The same can be said for its uniqueness.
Final Words
The final burning question is, is Calvin Klein CK Be worth it? Yes. There’s nothing special about this that makes it a must-have, but for the price on discounters, you can’t beat it.
