Calvin Klein Contradiction Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

Calvin Klein Contradiction Eau de Toilette 100ml is a soft, modern floral classic launched in 1997 — composed by Ann Gottlieb and Daniela Andrier, exploring the idea of "soft yet strong" femininity. The fragrance opens with a fresh-floral bouquet of lily, peony, lily-of-the-valley and rose, drifts into a heart of eucalyptus, lilac, jasmine and blackberry, and settles onto a clean drydown of sandalwood, musk and tonka bean.

About Calvin Klein

Founded in New York in 1968, Calvin Klein helped define minimalist American style. Its perfumery line — Obsession, Eternity, Escape, CK One, CK Be, Contradiction — became a string of cult bestsellers across two decades, with Contradiction sitting among the brand's late-1990s women's pillars.

Who it's for

Contradiction suits women who like soft, polished florals — those who reach for fresh white-floral scents over sweet-fruity or rich oriental compositions. It is a versatile year-round wear, especially good in spring and autumn, ideal for daytime, office and gentle evenings. If you wear scents like Calvin Klein Eternity or Estée Lauder Pleasures in their floral facets, Contradiction sits comfortably in the same family.

How to use

1. Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin.
2. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears.
3. Three to four sprays balance presence and longevity for the eau de toilette concentration.
4. Reapply lightly later in the day if you'd like the fresh-floral opening to return.
