Base notes
Encounter (2012) is Calvin Klein's Eau de Toilette for men with a boozy, woody character. Rum and cardamom open over cognac, pepper and patchouli, settling into oud, cedar and musk.
Scent story
Rum and cardamom hit first — warm, boozy, a little dangerous — then cognac and pepper deepen it into something smooth and confident. The oud-cedar dry-down is rich and masculine without being heavy. A great pick for Indian evenings, dinners and festive nights. Not for complete beginners — the boozy opening is bold — but the dry-down is smooth and rewarding.
