Composition of the fragrance:
First you’ll recognise citrus notes dominated by bergamot oil which evokes male vulnerability. They later mingle with lavender – a resilient plant that represents your authenticity. The drydown of the entire composition brings out earthy vetiver on a rough background to symbolise your courageous character.

Story of the fragrance:
Calvin Klein Defy was created with the notion that authenticity is a form of rebellion. This fragrance represents a new pillar in Calvin Klein’s line of masculine perfumes and its highly addictive scent was designed by Anne Flipo, Pascal Gaurin and Loc Dong.

The modern, masculine and minimalist bottle is defined by elegant curves as a symbol of vulnerability and straight lines evoking courage. The texture of the cap was inspired by Calvin Klein jeans. CK Defy is manufactured in an environmentally friendly way, contains 83% of natural ingredients and comes in a bottle that’s recyclable, just like the FSC-certified outer packaging.

About the brand Calvin Klein

Calvin Klein is one of the world’s leading fashion brands, founded in New York in 1968. Known for its minimal and confident aesthetic, the brand embodies a sensual lifestyle shaped by culture and expressed through timeless design and iconic fragrances.

Simple, clean lines and understated design quickly became synonymous with the Calvin Klein brand. The same aesthetic was reflected in its fragrances, which gained recognition not only for their distinctive compositions but also for their pure, minimalist bottles. The first perfumes were introduced in the early 1970s and continue to capture the spirit of the era in which they were created.

In the early 1990s, Calvin Klein introduced the groundbreaking fragrances Obsession and Eternity. Both became legendary scents and helped solidify Calvin Klein’s position as a leading global fragrance brand. Today, Calvin Klein fragrances are created in collaboration with renowned perfumers from around the world under the auspices of COTY, one of the world’s largest beauty companies.
