Calvin Klein Defy Eau de Toilette 200ml Spray Hair Balm warm amber and musk underneathDefy opens with pink pepper and cardamom spicy without the heat, almost creamy then settles into a woody base of cedarwood and amber. It's the kind of fragrance that sits closer to skin than projection, which means it reads as personal grooming rather than announcing itself. 200ml spray, 46 hours wear. Two or three spritzes in the morning is the sensible amount; more than that and you're working against it rather than with it.
