Fragrances for Special Moments

Calvin Klein CK IN2U Her is an eau de toilette for women, the feminine version of the CK IN2U duo. Calvin Klein described the line in three words: spontaneous, sexy, connected. The bottle here is the large one, 150 ml.

What it smells like

Calvin Klein no longer lists the notes of this version on its websites, so we won't give you an olfactory pyramid that we cannot verify. What the brand says about the line: it is inspired by an uninhibited generation, excited by all its possibilities. CK IN2U was the first Calvin Klein fragrance with separate versions for men and women, different, but designed to complement each other.

How to apply it

1. Apply it to clean skin, after a shower, when it is still slightly warm.
2. Spray on the neck, wrists, and behind the ears.
3. Hold the bottle away from the skin, not touching it.
4. Do not rub your wrists together after spraying.
5. Being an eau de toilette, you can refresh it throughout the day with a spritz.

Calvin Klein CK Be is a unisex eau de toilette that Calvin Klein presents as a fragrance to be shared between women and men. The brand describes it as a clean, fresh, and invigorating musk that is never overpowering. It comes in a 100 ml or 200 ml black bottle.

What it smells like

The fragrance is built in layers. It opens with aromatic notes and settles into a warm base:

• Top notes: bergamot, juniper berries, mandarin, mint, and lavender.
• Heart notes: light spices, magnolia, and white peach.
• Base notes: opoponax and tonka beans.

Calvin Klein associates the fragrance with self-expression, individuality, and warmth. In practice, it is a subtle musk, ideal if you do not like fragrances that fill the room.

How to apply it

1. Apply to clean, dry skin after showering.
2. Spray on the neck and wrists, the warmest areas of the body.
3. Hold the bottle slightly further away from the skin to allow the fragrance to mist evenly.
4. Do not rub. Rubbing causes the opening notes of mint and lavender to fade more quickly.
5. As it is a subtle fragrance, two or three sprays are usually enough.

Burberry Touch for Women is an eau de parfum for women, which Burberry describes as a fruity and vibrant fragrance. It combines fruit, white flowers and a woody warmth, with vanilla. The bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

Burberry describes the fragrance in three groups of notes, rather than as a classic pyramid:

• The fruity notes: California orange, blackcurrant, wild blackberry and a touch of rose oil.
• The floral notes: jasmine, Madonna lily and tuberose, with a hint of peach and raspberry. Burberry calls them fresh top notes.
• The warm notes: cedarwood, oakmoss and vanilla.

The brand says that the wood and vanilla complement the fruit and bring a soothing warmth.

How to apply it

1. Apply the fragrance to clean and well-moisturized skin.
2. Spray on the wrists, décolletage and neck.
3. Keep a small distance between the bottle and the skin.
4. Let the fragrance dry without rubbing your wrists.
5. Start with two sprays. The white flowers are well-felt even in a small dose.

Dsquared2 He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood is an eau de toilette for men from the He Wood line by Dsquared2. The box says "Eau de Toilette pour Homme", and the bottle is encased in a wooden frame. You can find it here in a 50 ml bottle.

What it smells like

We tell you honestly what we know. The official Dsquared2 page for this fragrance lists the format and country of manufacture, but not the notes. The box doesn't list them either. We prefer not to promise you notes that Dsquared2 has not published.

• What we know for sure: it is an eau de toilette, a lighter formula than an eau de parfum.
• Line: the He Wood name on the box links it to the Dsquared2 men's line of the same name.
• Origin: Dsquared2 presents it as a product made in Italy.
• How to choose it: a test on your skin will tell you more than any description.

How to apply it

1. Apply it to clean, lightly moisturized skin after a shower.
2. Spray it on your chest and the base of your neck, the warmest areas.
3. Do not press the sprayer against your skin. Hold the bottle a little further away so the fragrance can spread.
4. Let it dry on its own without rubbing.
5. Since it is an eau de toilette, you can reapply with a spray in the afternoon.

What else you might need

• Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Vétiver
• Ralph Lauren Polo Black, eau de toilette
• Diesel Only The Brave, eau de toilette
• Tom Ford Noir Extreme, eau de parfum

ProBeauty tip. Since the notes are not published, only choose it after trying it on your skin. Spray it in the morning on the inside of your wrist and return to it a few times during the same day.

Hugo Boss BOSS Ma Vie pour Femme is an eau de parfum for women, built around the cactus flower. Hugo Boss says they wanted to reinvent green floral notes with a delicate pink hue. The bottle contains 75 ml.

What it smells like

• Main notes: cactus flower, pink floral notes, and cedarwood.

The brand does not divide them into layers. The green freshness of the cactus flower combines with the pink floral notes, making the composition luminous. Cedarwood grounds it gently without taking away its clarity.

The inspiration, says Hugo Boss, is the independent woman who stops to enjoy the simple moments.

How to apply it

1. Apply it to clean skin after applying body cream.
2. Spray on the neck and wrists from a short distance.
3. For a finer trail, you can also spray on the nape of the neck.
4. Do not rub the skin. Let the floral notes settle.
5. Being an eau de parfum, start with a small dose.

What else you might need

• BOSS Ma Vie pour Femme L'Eau, 50 ml eau de toilette
• BOSS Femme, eau de parfum for women
• BOSS Orange Woman, 30 ml eau de toilette
• Davidoff Cool Water Woman Sea Rose, eau de toilette

ProBeauty tip. If you like fresh flowers but don't want a sweet perfume, Ma Vie is a variant worth trying. Test it on your skin and let it settle before deciding.

Paco Rabanne Invictus is the men's eau de toilette that launched the Invictus line. Rabanne describes it as a fresh woody fragrance built around grapefruit, marine accord, and guaiac wood. It comes in 50 ml or 100 ml bottles shaped like silver trophies.

What it smells like

A fragrance evolves on the skin in three stages. The first passes quickly, while the last lingers closest to the skin:

• Top notes: grapefruit, bright and tart.
• Heart notes: a salty, mineral marine accord, like a sea breeze.
• Base notes: guaiac wood, patchouli, and ambergris.

Rabanne presents it as a clash between the freshness of the sea and the warmth of wood. Within the Invictus family, it is the freshest and most versatile option.

When to wear it

The brand recommends it as a daytime fragrance for warm weather, spring and summer. You can wear it for sports, at the office, or every day.

How to apply it

1. Apply it after a shower, to clean, moisturized skin. Moisturized skin holds a fresh fragrance longer.
2. Spray it on your wrists, neck, chest, and behind your ears.
3. Hold the bottle slightly further from your skin so the fragrance falls like a fine mist.
4. Let it settle on your skin on its own. Do not rub.
5. Rabanne says that spraying it on your shirt collar extends its scent. Try it on a hidden area of the fabric first.

Specifications

What else you might need

• Invictus Set with Travel Spray
• Paco Rabanne Pure XS, men's eau de toilette
• Paco Rabanne Paco, 100 ml eau de toilette

ProBeauty Tip. If you wear it in summer, spray it in the morning on skin that is still cool after a shower. The grapefruit is clearer, and the guaiac wood emerges throughout the day without becoming heavy.

Calvin Klein CK IN2U Her is an eau de toilette for women, the feminine half of the CK IN2U duo. Calvin Klein has described the line as spontaneous, sexy, and connected. The bottle contains 100 ml, and the gold box bears the inscription "her".

What it smells like

We can no longer find the notes of the version for women on Calvin Klein's websites, and we do not reproduce lists of notes from unofficial sources.

It was the first Calvin Klein fragrance made in two distinct versions, for her and for him, which complement each other.

How to apply it

1. Spray on clean, moisturized skin before getting dressed.
2. Aim for pulse points: the wrists and the base of the neck.
3. Hold the bottle close to the skin.
4. Let the fragrance dry on its own without rubbing.
5. Start with two sprays and add more only if you feel it is too faint.
