Calvin Klein Contradiction Eaux De Toilette is a refined oriental‑woody scent that opens with zesty lime, lavandin, and mandarin over spicy coriander, cardamom, and nutmeg. It settles into a warm, earthy base of vetiver, sandalwood, ebony, and musk. Introduced in 1999, it offers moderate projection and 4–8-hour longevity—ideal for daily office wear or smart-casual evening occasions. Housed in a minimalist frosted-glass bottle topped by a sleek silver cap, it balances refreshing citrus with grounded sophistication.
