Calvin Klein Perfume and Aftershave

Founded in 1968 by Calvin Richard Klein, this international brand famous for it's instantly recognisable CK monogram has certainly had a tumultuous past, having faced near bankruptcy in the early nineties. But an ever popular range of jeans and underwear together with licenses for accessories, sunglasses, watches, jewellery and of course Calvin Klein perfume, has seen the company grow from strength to strength.

Noted for his clean lines and minimalistic designs, Calvin Klein was no stranger to controversy, especially when it came to advertising having in the past featured underwear ads with adolescents in sexually evocative poses. Most recently the company caused a bit of media frenzy with the launch of Secret Obsession featuring Eva Mendes in an advert that was banned in the US by network censors for being too provocative. Then again, his adverts have also helped to launch a few careers - think Mark Wahlberg whose sexy underwear ads undoubtedly got him noticed in all the right places.

Despite an initial failed attempt to break into the fragrance market in the late 70's the launch of Obsession for women in 1985 marked the beginning of a hugely successful trend and now, 25 years and over 30 Calvin Klein fragrances later, CK is a leading brand in the global fragrance market.
