Crisp, sweet and citrusy
There are no explanations needed as to why I ordered this, CK Contradiction. It is my most absolute favourite perfume. I have been using this perfume since university, 18 years now. I still don't tire of the smell.It comes wrapped in a silver cardboard box. The bottle shape is iconic. Cylindrical bottle with long silver cap and just a small amount of the Amber coloured perfume showing through at the base.The smell is crisp, sweet and citrusy. In my opinion anyway. A tiny spray lasts all day and the smell just intensifies as the day goes on as it mixes with your natural body smell.I would definitely recommend if, as I do, you dislike the overly floral smells and synthetic smells in perfumes today. This makes a really refreshing alternative.

The Calvin Klein Contradiction Eau De Parfum 100ml, arrived with 2 days and was packaged very well, perfect for a gift!

This Parfum is one of my all time favorite, and although I had one already, I could not resist buying another due to the great price!

Very refreshing, not over-powering, light, sensual and long lasting scent. Great quality in a large 100ml bottle. Great for a gift or even to treat yourself.

Great price, Nicely packaged, Excellent delivery and service from seller.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coty - a portfolio of fragrance & cosmetics
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2013

I received a sample of this fragrance last year so cannot believe it is being discontinued (reading previous reviews). Thought it is a clean, fresh, warm fragrance that is perfect for everyday (and for my line of work) as it is not overpowering and is unusual - I would not describe this as floral but is still feminine i.e. I like it!

I would suggest that people try it on before they buy as I have received compliments when wearing it, but it is often set aside when perfume shopping with others.

Compared to its RRP, the price here is good and I'm wondering if I should stock up as I am quite picky (first 'new' fragrance I have bought in a few years!) and do not follow the crowd when it comes to scents. The box is branded but the bottle is not, instead has 'Coty' on the bottom, which is the company that produces this fragrance, among others.

Bought this as a christmas present for my sister.

She's always asking for perfume, but likes the ridiculously expensive stuff, so I always end up buying her something she's not too bothered over. I'm not a big perfume wearer myself (I have a bottle of Marc Jacobs' Daisy and a bottle of Ghost, and that's it :D ) so I really put no stock into the names or who makes it.. If I like the smell, it works for me.
I saw this on amazon and figured I'd give it a go for her for christmas.

Delivery was fast, very happy with that.
When my sister opened it she was delighted, definately happy with my choice. She pulled off the plastic packaging and opened up the box, I had been a little worried that the bottle only contained the tiny amount shown at the bottom in the picture, but when she opened it and took off the lid I was pleased to see that it's a nice big bottle, the top just slides over most of it.
To me it smells nice, it smells.. perfumey, but as I say, I'm no judge of perfume.
My sister, however, loves it. She wears it daily and is very pleased with it. I think I'll be getting her another bottle next christmas!

It is amazing to find again CONTRADICTION after a good 5 t o6 years not finding it anywhere. I had tried once from another website, but it was counterfeit,ale not the same smell at all. But I trusted Amazon much more off course. And I was not disappointed at all. What a pleasure to find again this spicy and fruity smell, and at a very good price....
Go fo it!

I absolutely love this perfume. My Husband bought it for me on a holiday to Paris around about the time it was just launched. I wasn't sure if I would like it as I had been wearing the same perfume for a few years and like to stick to what I know. I was so happy that it suited me perfectly and he loved it on me. I have been wearing this perfume for many years and although I have occasionally tried other, newer perfumes, this is the one I always return to. It makes me feel happy but unfortunately it has been discontinued in most perfume shops. I will continue to buy this perfume for as long as it is available.

Great bottle but too heavy for the handbag. Smells okay but for an eau de parfum the fragrance does not last at all, so suspect it's counterfeit and will not purchase again. In fact, seeking a refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein grauenhafter Duft!!!
Reviewed in Germany on 18 December 2018

Warum 5 Sterne für einen grauenhaften Duft???

Ich habe diesen Duft blind gekauft. Ja.Ich konnte ja vorhin nicht riechen, wie schwer er ist. Richtig grausig. Es mag sein, dass viele diesen Duft mögen, meins ist es nicht. Ein Kopfschmerzduft.

Für alle, die geschrieben haben, es verfliegt schnell...... Nein.... Es stimmt nicht. Nach Stunden riecht man den, boah... Bin echt gespannt, ob es nach dem Waschen rausgeht.

Es kam auch eingeschweißt an.
Leute, hört auf zuzweifeln, es ist ein Original. Vielleicht riecht Ihr den Duft nicht mehr. Und ich frag mich im Ernst, wie kann man die Intensität von diesem Duft nicht riechen.? Ich persönlich kriege Kopfweh davon.

Ich beschreib ihn mal. Schwer. Sehr schwer. Süßlich, riecht wie Deo. Keine persönliche Note. Nein, Danke.

Es mag sein, dass Flakon hübsch aussieht, aber mehr nun auch nicht. Wenn an mir jemand vorbei laufen würde, der/die so riechen würde, würde ich sofort die Flucht ergreifen. Macht unruhig. Nein, Danke!

Meiner Mama würde es sicher gefallen, ich schenke ihr das weiter.

Am Duft selber ist nichts auszusetzen, nur meinen Geschmack hats nicht getroffen. Ich habe mir was in die Richtung von narciso rodriguez gesucht, was ich persönlich benutze, aber PP,persönliches Pech.

Keinen Wiedererkennungswert. Es wirkt für mich so, als würde man alle Komponenten in ein Ding reinschmeißen und dann kommt so ein blumiger Buket raus.

Definitiv für Frauen nach 60. Man fühlt sich älter wie man ist. Schade.
