Review of Truth Eau de Parfum by aad de gids

as Contradiction (1997), Truth (2000) ultimately wouldn't be a perfume for me. it was too Bamboo-ey and Green. yet it was a charming perfume and I was lured in by the fact that it was 'a Calvin Klein' and the beautifully formed Bottle with Cap. it totally belonged into the Calvin Klein Series Obsession 1985, Eternity 1988, Escape 1991, Contradiction 1997, Truth (2000). (Ck One totally not my cup of Tea !) of course predating Obsession you had the fragrance Calvin (1981) for men. but this Series from off Obsession had a kind of Uniqueness and Strong Identity. I didn't liked Escape. with Truth I had actually the same verdict as I have with Contradiction. and that verdict is done in 5 seconds. but also Truth I bought, even the perfume, which is arguably one of the most beautiful perfume bottles ever, more elongated as the Edp, and coming in a [Acryl] Sarcophagus. while Truth seemed even more watery and fresh and just with the whole Bamboo-thing (than Contradiction). nevertheless had the perfume more intensity. for Truth we have the same kind of Allure lying in its name, the perfume (revolutionary no matter what, certainly after her forebearers), and a priori the idiosyncratic bottle which was marvelous. the Perfume was fabulous and somehow possessed more denseness than the Edp. Clover, Vetiver, Patchouli, Lily, Peony, Sandelwood, Mimosa, Vanilla & Amber are all notes that rock my boat. then 'Silkwood Blossom & Bamboo' must have made this perfume more green than I would ever appreciate (xcept in the veritable perfume). but there was also this: 'Truth 2000 CK Set of 5 Perfume Oil [0.34oz10mL] Touchpoints: Sapling Lilac Vanilla Citrus Bamboo'. of which I do not only have images but which I actually acquired too. this is all due to the fabulous sexy marketing machine 'Calvin Klein' then was. they had lured me in to buy the Edp which in the end was too Bamboo & Green, but then the perfume: 'Truth Calvin Klein (2000) Parfum Extrait 0.5oz or 15mL'. and from this perfume I have actually kept the Flacon with [Acryl] Sarcophagus, something that I never have done. empty is empty. so in this Calvin Klein line-up I think the real outcast is the perfume which I love the most (along with Chanel Coco, Giorgio & Poison), Obsession. of which I also several times had the perfume.
