Euphoria Cologne

Euphoria Cologne by Calvin Clein For Men isn’t quite as popular as Eternity Cologne For Men by Calvin Klein, but Euphoria is still a men’s fragrance you probably want in your cologne rotation.

In fact, given that Euphoria Cologne isn’t worn by quite as many other men, some will find this a more desirable scent to wear when trying to impress women. Euphoria Cologne by Calvin Klein will be fresh and clean without being a cliche doing it.

Pepper and Ginger Fragrance Notes

You’ll notice when wearing Euphoria Cologne that it’s a ginger and pepper scent. Euphoria’s essence is strong, long-lasting and masculine, but without the floral or fruity concoctions that some of the lesser men’s scents contain. One thing I like about Euphoria is its lack of citrus tones.

Most men I know love the citrusy mens fragrances, but I have a natural aversion to citrus. While I’m not allergic to citrus perfumes, I am allergic to drinks that have a high amount of citric acid, so the citrus smell is something I tend to avoid altogether – mainly from association.

Euphoria Cologne For Men – Tropical Scent

You might gather a tropical or pineapple scent when smelling Euphoria Cologne, though that’s left to particular tastes. One reason that Euphoria Cologne doesn’t sell very well is that it goes for $57 for a standard bottle even on Amazon, so don’t assume that Euphoria isn’t as big of a seller as Obsession Cologne by CK just because it’s not as good. Euphoria Cologne is a high-end product.

About Calvin Klein Himself

Calvin Klein founded Calvin Klein Incorporated in 1968, and his business became a mainstream fashion powerhouse 10-11 years later. Aggressive and edgy marketing combined with a growing line of products to make “Calvin” a word synonymous with American pop fashions.

There were rocky financial moves along the way, including failed attempts in the 1970′s to launch fragrance and cosmetics line, as well as a tough spell in the late-1980′s and 1990′s that forced Calvin Klein to sell the business to Phillips-Van Heusen. Through it all, Calvin Klein maintained a high profile in stores and commercials.

Nothing Comes Between Me and My Calvins

Marketing “sexy” has long been a part of fashion, but Calvin Klein took sexually-toned ads to a whole new level. In 1979 and 1980, Calvin Klein began marketing his jeans with a 15-year old Brooke Shields as his model. When she uttered the immortal line, “Nothing comes between me and my Calvins,” girls lined up to buy Calvin Klein jeans and parents publicly protested the exploitation of an underage model.

Calvin Klein was a huge part of the designer-jean fad of the early 1980′s, and the Brooke Shields ads were followed by a host of other commercials involving teen girls in little but their Calvins.

Calvins

Along the way, Calvin Klein jeans became so iconic they were recognizable by saying one word: “Calvins”. Mark Wahlberg rejuvenated the Calvins ads line in the early 1990′s, as the bare-chested Wahlberg, then known more famously as Markie Mark, led the Calvin Jeans marketing blitz. Despite the aggressive ads, Calvin Klein faced bankruptcy by 1992, though CK maintained economic viability throughout the 1990′s.

Despite that, Calvin Klein went up for sale in 1999 and the company was bought by Phillips Van Heusen Corp in 2002 for a combined financial package estimated to be around $630,000,000 to $730,000,000.
