I am 61 years old. To say that I’ve been using Calvin Klein is an understatement. I cannot believe the picture/advertisement I just seen of Calvin klein??
What-WHO the hell are you advertising to, the transgender overweight people??
I as well as family and friends do not fit in your category.
It looks like you’ve lost long time customers.
You heard the saying…..
“You go woke you end up going broke”
Look what happened to Budweiser, Bud lite? That didn’t turn out too well. I see the same thing happening to Calvin Klein.
BOYCOTT CALVIN KLEIN!!!????

I’ve been wearing Euphoria Perfume since it first came out and fell in love with it. I would get compliments daily I’m not kidding you. It would last for hours and the fragrance was so strong that it lingered everywhere I went, in the car on my bedding and on my pets. Within the past 2 years I’ve noticed quite a difference in the smell and how long it lasts which in all honesty not very long at all! I don’t receive any compliments on it anymore nor does it leave a scent on me. I’m so disappointed, I continue to purchase it thinking maybe I’m wrong or my senses are changing. I just recently purchased a gift set at Boscov’s and it’s the same issue and it will be probably the last time I purchase it. Please let me know if it’s being diluted or whatever because I know something isn’t right or I wouldn’t be contacting you. Thank you.

I have been using Calvin Klein Euphoria shower gel, body lotion and perfume for years and I love it.
It is the only perfume that does not change on my skin and I get many compliments on how it smells.
The problem is that that the bath and shower gel /wash has been discontinued and I have trouble fining it online. It is usually sold out. Why is that product discontinued and where can I buy it at a reasonable price?
Betty Davis says
I have been using Obsession for many years. I just purchased the gift box
recently at Dillard’s and it does not smell like it use to. I do not like the smell
as well. I don’t know if you have changed it or not. The Hand Cream, Shower
Gel or the Cologne doesn’t smell like it use to. I have a hard time finding Cologne that I can wear and I was so glad when I could wear Obsession.
