Vorotox

This was a gift, but you'll usually find the 100ml version for around $15-20.

The top notes are very citric, and as they dry down a little you get more of that tomato leaf. After a minute or so on your skin I start noticing the cacao, which is very faint but does change the scent a lot. It is surprisingly smooth and very fresh. I personally wear this now everytime it's very warm (27-32c) outside.

It's definitely mass appealing and won't choke anyone, which brings me to my next points, projection and longevity. It'll depend on the person, but for me this usually lasts 3-4 hours on my skin. You'll probably find yourself having to respray. It also doesn't leave a strong trail nor projects well, I find it to be too intimate as it sits pretty close to the skin.

As for the bottle design, it's very nice; simple yet unique. The plastic housing and the atomizer will remind you of what it's worth though. The bottom's design is interesting, it makes the bottle a lot more unstable but also adds a lot to the design.

Overall this is a very good low budget perfume for warm weather, but I doubt I'd rebuy this once it runs out. Very pleased, 8/10

Trešíkk

I think this fragrance deserves a little bit more , clean aromatic scent got some compliments but lacks in longevity and performance i got like 3 hours on my skin at the best , however it smells kinda nice and fresh out of the shower.
Solid 5/10

Mig781

It's a cheapie. Of course.
But it smells horrible in my opinion.
The tomato note overpowers the other ones.
Just smells like tomatoes.

Calvin Klein in2U Him: The "Meh" Mystique of Affordable Fragrances
Hold onto your noses, fragrance fam, because we're diving into the lukewarm waters of Calvin Klein in2U Him. Now, before you grab your pitchforks, hear me out. This isn't fragrance hate, it's honest advice for your olfactory adventures.

Affordability: A Thumbs Up, But...

Let's start with the good: in2U Him is undeniably easy on the wallet. We all appreciate a budget-friendly scent, especially for everyday wear. But here's the catch-22: affordability often comes at the cost of complexity.

The Scent: A Flatline on the Fragrance Meter

in2U Him opens with a fizzy citrus blast, promising a burst of freshness. But hold your horses, that zing quickly fades into a bland, woody heart that lingers like an uninvited guest at a party. The promised musky base is more of a whisper than a roar, leaving the overall scent feeling undeniably flat and uninspired.

Is it offensive? No. Will it win you compliments? Probably not. It's the fragrance equivalent of beige walls: safe, unmemorable, and ultimately, forgettable.

Alternatives for the Budget-Conscious Fragrance Fanatic

Now, before you resign yourself to a life of olfactive mediocrity, fret not! There are affordable alternatives that pack a punch:

Nautica Voyage: A classic aquatic scent with a crisp, citrusy opening and a woody base. Think "sailing into a tropical paradise" without breaking the bank.
Davidoff Cool Water: Another aquatic legend, with a touch more spice and depth than Voyage. Perfect for the man who wants to feel invigorated.
Bvlgari Man in Black: A more sophisticated option with a blend of leather, tobacco, and spices. It's a touch pricier than in2U Him, but the quality difference is undeniable.
Remember, fragrance is a personal journey. Don't settle for "meh" just because it's affordable. Explore, experiment, and find a scent that truly reflects your unique personality. And hey, if in2U Him works for you, more power to you! But for the rest of us, there's a whole world of olfactory adventures waiting to be discovered. So ditch the flatline and spray on something that makes you say "wow!"

Tincel

My boyfriend received this for Christmas. I hadn't realized he had spritzed it on and kept smelling this horrid scent around the house. I've
now banned it. Be careful with this one, it's a lady repellent.

Update: HORROR, my cat dropped it on the bathroom floor where it spilled everywhere. By the stench, I won't be able to take a shower for the next 2 weeks. Life has a dark sense of humour.

Avfrag

Its a frag that is well , good value cheap and smells fine, maybe for school when you sont want to waste expensive frags.

Amethyst3

This just has a synthetic vibe to it . The citrus is too cutting upon first spray which puts me off entirely . It’s not exactly attractive to women in comparison to many other male scents out there .

jose_marquez123

I love this fragrance, it's very fresh, creamy, relaxing and unique (could be unisex), you wont find anything like this. It's not sexy, but more like clean and fresh, I got compliments like "how good you smell, is that a cologne?".

The opening is citrusy fresh, with a little green note of tomato leaf; the drydown of cacao, musk and cedar is creamy delicious. 8/10.

The longevity and silage are not good 4/10, that is the cons, but I found a trick, if you apply moisturizing cream (odorless would be the best) before the cologne, it will last double. And remember it's a cheapie so don't worry overspraying and/or reapplying 5/6 hours later.

Also, is a good layering perfume, I tried it with Burberry Touch and Prada L'Homme L'Eau, the result is amazing.

fatcartmanPL

I don't get all of the bashing that this bottle gets. Ok it's linear, Ok the longevity is sub par but this is an anassuming cheap freshie. What did you expect it to be? Also people who say it feels synthetic or generic are wrong in my opinion. Having smelled maybe a few hundred frangances I can say this is all but generic. The fragrance is simple, but very well composed and there is some extent of uniqueness to it. Maybe it's the tomato leaf or the composition itself but it definitely works for me.

Frankcorpus12

The big turndown on this frag is its performance, for me is about 2-3 hours if I’m lucky and don’t even think about this projecting or leaving a trace of smell as you walk. This is basically a skin scent past 30mins of spraying. Although It is indeed a kinda nice fragrance to wear… At least i like to use it for sleeping or being around the house. For me it smells like being clean and adds a nice touch after a shower.

los blancos

you can’t go wrong with this scent, it’s fresh citrusy and comfy. The price is great which is a bonus. Great perfumers created this scent. It does bring back memories definitely.

ElDiablo77

Most ppl are giving CK IN2U loads of flak. But, I have had only good experience with it. Yes, it might be cheap and might smell synthetic for some. Some might feel it to be too "fresh" and some too "weak". I even have a mate who claims it's on par with wonder-baum. I find it refreshing and cool, and this is the only fragrance that got me complimented.

My top 5 go-to fragrances are Terre D'Hermès, Dior Homme Intense, Paco Rabanne 1 Million, Yves Saint Laurent
La Nuit De L'Homme, and Armani Stronger With You. I might need to increase the list to 6....

PS: I still wear it, and I'm in my 40s..

Ghosted

Bought it on a whim because I kept seeing it at tjmaxx, tried it one time after getting out of the shower and instantly gave it to my brother, just not a smell for me along with it doesn’t last long at all. I wouldn’t recommend this cologne even for the 20$ it was if you’re looking for a CK cologne go for defy, truth or obsession

ashroloie

Probably the most hated fragrance I've come across in my lifetime. I got gifted this year's ago but just could not even get half way through a 100ml bottle. I've smelled nicer axe fragrances! The most generic boring scent possible.

LaoGanMama

The tomato leaf is surprisingly funky in the beginning. Dry down is…fine. $20 for a 100ml at Ross, I say give it a try. I just personally don’t really find it unique or a good performer, so not even a daily driver or gym type of fragrance for me.

Nkbn

My first ever fragrance. Bought it when i was 14. So many memories attached to it. For me it was 10/10, but years later i find myself liking complex fragrances more than cheap designers. It's not a bad fragrance by any means.

kingderella

Inoffensive. Weak performance. There's certainly worse but there's also so much better, even from this very house.

CoachSignature88

I really appreciated this fragrance. Yeah we all know it’s not mind blowing or totally new but it’s very nice. For me I mainly enjoy this frag because it carry’s a few of my favorite frag notes. Which is the lemon opening mixed with cedar and musk drydown. I’m a sucker for those types! Easygoing and beautiful smelling! 7.5/10

ALD99

Had this as a gift, and seeing prices now sit around £20-30 so definitely a cheapy.

It's a very easy fragrance to wear, with bright citrus and a definite aromatic quality to it. The tomato leaf seems to comes off somewhat aquatic too. A simple, uncomplicated blue that can be worn to work, out on a walk, wherever in the summer essentially. 6.5/10

Longevity is absolutely atrocious. 1 hour maximum on me and doesn't project much to make up for it. Barely use as a fragrance because it has no staying power. 1/10.

Easy and cheap to gift, or I found better as an alternative to deodorant - spray or 2 under the arm on top of clothes to start the day should see you through. Overall though, just buy a longer lasting blue for £50+, you'll get more of your money's worth.

jacsbubbles

Bought this a blind buy from B&M at around £22. After the initial top notes disappear it evolves into an intimate citrusy skin scent that now resides as part of my collection. It isn’t a wow frag, compared to others. From the price point it is a nice smell and lingers close so you can sniff it.

achromaphile

I've been gifted this eau de toilette by my father many years ago.
For the longest time I disliked it and I couldn't explain why, so with time, I forgot about it.
Recently I decided to shrink my fragrance collection into a capsule collection so I made it my goal to use up ALL of my fragrances.
Calvin Klein IN2U for him was a fragrance I wasn't so "IN2" at first, and I realize now that it was all because of the aquatic blue opening! Once it warms up it changes from the generic fresh scent to this woody, sweet spice scent, which I absolutely don't mind at all.

Somehow it reminds me of the Bleu de Chanel eau de parfum. I guess because of the combination of the sweet cacao, vetiver, musk and woody cedar note.

I have to say that the lasting power is rather weak, after about two to three hours it sadly disappears which is one of the main reasons I won't purchase this fragrance again.
I'd like to add that the bottle itself has a bit of an odd design which is another reason that turns me off.

Overall, the fragrance isn't bad nor great, it gets a decent 7/10 from me.

NunyaB

Very weak, but decent fresh scent. Lemon, musk, and vetiver right away. Probably lasts less than an hour, fading rapidly. It doesn’t really last as a skin scent too. The EDT is a really weak performer.

meowtsu

One of the first fragrances I owned when I was a student, longevity is a beast, and the opening scent which reminds you of summer and nostalgia of circa 2010s. A must have bottle in your shelve if you wanna start collecting citrus scents.

NunyaB

Nice opening, more unisex than male. A citrus/floral opener with an underlying sweetness and muskiness. It fades really fast though, and muskiness comes through more prominently, even over spraying with 6+ sprays around different points. Sillage is weak, this turns into a skin scent within an hour or two at most. It's not really worth buying, due to the low performance.

It is a nice scent, just doesn't last.

drewcaitlin

I honestly love this on me. I feel like they missed a trick only marketing it for men. It has this warm, musky, slightly masc quality and I can put it on literally in the evening before sleep and still smell it faintly on my sheets in the morning, which I personally love. Base notes are kind of sweet on me. I don't know why people on here hate it so much, but I noticed most of the negative reviews are from men and most women here seem to like it. I think CK just mis-marketed here.
I don't personally want to walk into a room and leave a cloud of an incredibly strong, floral, saccharine, overly feminine fragrance, so this is ideal for me. I like that it's unassuming and a bit different. Every time I wear it I get compliments. It feels more like a dark feminine fragrance to me more than an outright masculine one, and I can imagine women would love this if only the bottle didn't look the way it does (which is my one qualm, it's an awkward shape and feels huge for me to hold.)

dylz93

Alot of Memories with this scent. all and all great everyday spring scent in my opinion 👌

DariaFrancesca74

CK IN2U for Him by Calvin Klein created by the noses Carlos Benaim, Bruno Jovanovic, Loc Dong and Jean-Marc Chaillan: A fresh and Mediterranean fragrance, with citrus citrus top notes and aromatic tomato leaves, which guarantees a pleasant and unusual aromatic peculiarity, exciting, unexpected, one of a kind. At the aromatic dry down, épices doux and boises. Fresh summer sillage, Mediterranean.

luboturk

The opening is a fresh lemon scent that dies down in the first 5 minutes followed by a slight fresh bubble gum scent ( not on a sweet side). Overall it does not perform, turns quickly into a skin scent, and has no projection.

Chaselark

Strikes with me as a mild soft more aromatic version of Mont Blanc Starwalker (and I like both). You can't over spray this one & it is 'subtle' to the point of being non distinctive, but non distinctive within a class of frags costing 2x and 3x it's price. Starwalker can leave a scent trail, this won't/cant'. This is a pleasant restrained scent bubble, but I like it for all those reasons - it's not imposing or vying for attention from people in your same space, like citrus & blue frags often do. But if someone is sitting next to you, you will leave a positive scent memory. I see 3.5oz testers online for $15 and I refer to this as "Subtle Starwalker".

knightlore

IN2U .. On me lasts around 12 hrs .. Love it .. 😍

Jibz_

Very synthetic smelling (can't complain since it was £15 for 100ml). It's a fresh out the shower, woody smell but it is very weak and short lasting.

thebloff

I've had a gifted bottle of this for years and it's always seemed too sour to me. So much so that it's still mostly full.

4/10

Thardy1971

So, I have this Fragrance! And tested it on my hand. And as soon as I sprayed it, i'm like...this smells like something I already have! Smells a bit like In The Navy(Le Male)...

Sniff away

Smells like dove soap. I also get a bit of light Musk and violet similar to the drydown of Paul Smith men edt . It's very weak and quite linear.

Decant Addict

Honestly. Given the choice of 250ml of this smelly water for £20, or a 10ml decant of something with some longevity, id take the decant

GoldenState

Interesting smell combing tomato leaf, hint of citrus, cocoa and some woodines. Clean and inoffensive. Projection and Longevity are unfortunately really bad so in the the end not worth getting IMHO. Not a head Turner or compliment getter either. Could be enjoyed but even for the bargain price there are better options in the frag community. Longevity 3-4 hours tops with very little projection.

ems@twc

I really like this one as a everyday wear fragrance especially for someone who doesn't like an over powering but woody scent, also great as a start up fragrance if the wearer is a little heavy on the sprays.

SomebodyToKnow

Don't listen to the crybaby below you. This is a great fragrance with staying power and low to moderate sillage.

Fashionplatefanny

Yummy. Soft, powdery, well blended. Could be unisex. It’s not loud or in your face offensive. It’s a cuddly kind of scent. It’s different and comforting. I really like it.
It’s nothing like it’s feminine counterpart. She is very citrus forward, woody with a creamy dreamy dry down. This one is powdery.
Smells absolutely nothing like, Tommy, Euphoria or Cool Water as voted above!!! I think people’s noses are broken and need an ENT!! .

FJBunsen

A nice clean fragrance. Very safe. Since it has a weak longevity and doesn't project great, I find this to be a perfect "home" fragrance. It's also pretty affordable which makes you less hesitant to overspray.

Guitar 2016

It is a nice scent, easy to wear, Light , Fresh and Clean. I don't care about the negative comments and I trust my nose, It smells so good and very pleasant with reasonable price. It opens up with like fresh citrusy, slightly spicy, green and Cacao notes in the background then dry down is musky woody. The Cacao note is dominant in this perfume. This is perfect for the spring and summer. I really enjoy it and I like CK IN2U for Him by Calvin Klein. Longevity is good.
Rating : 8 / 10

slimeboy

blind bought at tj maxx because of the tomato vine/cacao description on here
it's infinitely less interesting than that -- kind of kicks off on a bilious note per the acidic lemon/tomato vine discussion and then devolves into a very 1996 clean smell
like if you want to just take a shot in the dark it isn't particularly offensive but it's far from a heroic showing

Dosh

The performance and sillage is absolutely the worst i have seen. Cant imagine how many sprays you need for anyone to smell this. Basic lemony citrus scent very linear, literally barely skin scent after 5 minutes. I agree that i dont pick up any cacao just avoid this i would not wear it ever.

The Wolf

Had this for a while and sort of forgot about it, but wearing this today on a rainy day. Unique with Tomato leaf and Cacao. Daring for CK.
They usually play it safe with the light citrus frags. Heck, they usually play it safe with all of their offerings.

Opens with a pretty good lemon, it hangs around for the duration.
From there it moves to tomato leaf which is vegetal and cocoa. It sounds like it would be disgusting, but it works.

Performance is meh, but for the price point, you can go nuts with the sprays and get projection and longevity.

Interesting fragrance 6/10

unklemoses

I've just picked this one up for no more than 21,5 $ us for a 150 ml, it didn't seem I could pass this opportunity price-wise, also I thought it was nice and fresh but not in that typical "blue" fashion, which is good, for a change at least. But when I read about cacao, I was like what? I don't perceive that note what so ever, maybe I'll get it later on, idk. All in all, I'm having a hard time picking any note at all here, and I like it this way, I feel like a part of magic is lost when you figure it all out. It seems to last, too, it's been 3 hours, washed my hands and I still can smell it on my hand alright. Overall, I can't say I'm loving it, but I'm liking it quite a bit

Update: performance is joke on me, 30 min and I can't even get a slight anymore.. a little better on clothes. No cacao for me still, just green freshness for half an hour and then close to nothing :/

a_c_thompson

This was a pleasant surprise. I'd never really heard anything about this fragrance. I only bought it because I'm a sucker for "his and her scents" (anytime I can buy myself and my wife matching bottles).
The opening to this is fantastic. The lemon/tomato leaf combination really gives it a unique smell. Quickly after that it becomes powdery, but still with that great tomato leaf touch.
The powdery scent does make it lean a bit feminine in my opinion, but that's one of the things that makes it stand out in my collection.
Now I truly believe any guy can wear this comfortably. It's not too feminine.
But after awhile (an hour maybe) it does sit closer to the skin, but doesn't disappear for quite some time.

S M Mehedi Hassan

A very underrated frag. Very loveable scent and mentionable performer. Easy wearable at any time. Not a party frag though. If it would be from some niche house, people would run mad for this.

DanielViden

Me and my wife bought one each at our honeymoon. I got the male one and she got the female. My bottle smelled really good on her but not on me.

Decant Addict

Quite possibly the worst performing fragrance I own, its this kind of low performance 'splash it all over' that gives CK a negative name in fragrance. Even at 10p a ml I wouldnt buy again.
I spray the curtains and bed with it just to use it up
Its a long time since the CK staples like CK One, Obsession, Eternity and Escape. To me, CK is now the byname for citrus heavy flanker colognes that can be profusely used like an adolescent teen after shave.

johnjubal1958

Very pleasant smelling but not synthetic as a few below claim. Many use that term having no idea what that they smell and the word fills the gap in there knowledge. This is not expensive and I paid £18/$26 for a 150ml bottle and that should tell you how average this is. Longevity & Silage are 5hrs and Arms length respectively, but that not taking away how nice smelling this fragrance is. 6 out of 10 is a fair judgement on the overall performance! Besides, it's one you should have in your CK collection👍

Guneto

Smells decent but has bad projection and lasts a very short amount of time. Can be good for office/school but may need to be reapplied. Wouldn't recommend anyone buy it, but if you got it as a gift you can make some use of it.

Thatsukadude

Perfectly inoffensive and smells how it sounds little sweet little sour and bitter with a woody base great for the school days. Only downside is that its a little synthetic

STRattler

If you're a guy in your late teens and are just getting into the world of fragrance go ahead and grab this perfume.

aussiediparma

My first fragrance purchase on my recent foray into this hobby, picking it out at the discount store over all the other options.

As a medical clinician, this is an excellent fragrance to wear to the hospital. It comes off fresh, mild on my skin (non-dry/oily/sweaty) with one spray to the chest and one to the abdomen. No one is going to be bothered by this, and it gives a bit more oomph in smelling clean by the end of the day.

Very utilitarian, which is perfect for me for an all-round work scent.

The more expensive version of this would be Coach for men, which is what I alternate with this for hospital shifts.

YusufKliza

A very synthetic opening, that turns into a gorgeous clean scent; like a breath of fresh air. However, this fragrance has no performance NOR longevity. I'll be honest , if this scent projected and had longevity, it would be one of my favorites.

Shill Reviews

A comfortable aromatic smell. Very bad performance and very inoffensive, but still nice for what it is. I was gifted it as a teenager that didn't care at all about fragrance, and that's probably the best demographic for this scent. I wear it when I can't decide what to wear.

Đặng.thái.hoài.Ân

For me this one opens up super fresh like a 7up/ sprite bottle then dies down quickly into a coffee+cocacola cocktail. Worth a try and the bottle is nice. But, not my cup of tea. I will stick with my CK All, thank you.
PS: Actually, given the same discount price for Nautica and CK In2U, I would actually choose this one for its uniqueness (or quirk). Tata for now, fraghead comrades.

Bdeville

This is offensively lame stuff of a fragrance.

JackJ99

Generic rubbish like most of CK. synthetic cleaner type smell

LuckyMommy

A good cheap, fresh and clean summer scent.
Smells really nice on my husband.

Trickster

One of the worst eau de toilette. Very week. Stays for an hour or so. Very very uninspiring fragrance. Managed to finish half around 3 years. Then threw it in the bin.

House Adams

I have changed my mind on this a bit...

It gets a bad wrap because its a Spring/Summer CK fragrance - But it has a little charm and uniqueness to it. The Tomato Leaf and Cacao offer up something pleasant but also somewhat different.

The Lemon does lend to an accord that I have heard others mention... Scented Mosquito Spray, OFF Brand I believe.

Now, I do see where that comes from... But this is obviously much much nicer smelling and the lemon begins to fade once the dry down begins. But, I cant lie... I do pick that up.

All in all... Not a bad cheapie.

The Wolf

I feel this is decent. Smells pleasantly clean and performance is above average for a CK fragrance.
Tomato leaf mixed with chocolate is weird but once the tomato leaves it's fine.

Diddleydaddy6901234

There is a reason this stuff is cheap they don't sell much of it.
And why are people not buying....
It smells weird, in a very off putting way. I like a lot of Calvin Klein fragrances (despite their lack of performance) so gave this one a whirl, instant regret.
Gave it to my brother who has since given it away also.
Ck All is an excellent Frshie alternative, its cheap and unlike a lot of CK fragrances it actually performs very well. A solid 6-8 hours.

Willbno

I just picked this up from Marshall’s for $19.99 and I was curious about what this was about. The notes seemed a little odd but this is Calvin Klein. CK has been a major leader in the 80’s when it comes down to fragrances. So I opened this up and applied this immediately so I can get a taste of what I’m in store for...

This is a summery day scent. Immediately a lemon citrus scent fills the air. It’s a pleasant lemon almost like a nice lemonade. The cocoa scent is a background player. The tomato leaf is non existent to my nose but it tends to give a watery type of note and isn’t a major player in fragrances. The vetiver, cedar, and the musk are what helps the lemon pop and make it the star in this.

Who ever is writing bad reviews for this fragrance must be immature in the sense of the fragrance world. This is nice playful scent. Is it a game changer? No. This has a place for when you’re visiting friends or in-laws and you’re not looking to offend any one. This will also be a great office scent.

Give this a try it’s not as bad as many reviewers are stating.

acl17

I use it as an air freshner for my room not much use for it otherwise not even good enough to be a gym fragrance.

Thats the review
1/10

oguz4169

I think, any man mustn't smell like this.

gabrielsalazar808

This is probably the most underrated cologne at discounters right now. I remember buying this cologne when I was in middle school, and years later I wanted to reminisce about the old days and purchase the fragrances I wore when I was younger including this one, Curve, and Cool Water.
This has a wonderful masculine, sharp, and fresh quality to it and in the opening you definitely get the grapefruit with a dewy tomato leaf note keeping it fresh and smooth. The base of the cacao is wonderful and lends itself to have a dark and musky quality to it. I don't find this to be overly synthetic and I don't find it to have an old school vibe.
It smells very modern, unique, and shares the same perfumer of A&F Fierce.
Performance is not the greatest.
I recommend this for a summer/spring night out.

pableen

the beginning is nice with some citrus and tomato leaf notes but then drys down to an axe/lynx vibe and I personally think the note of cocoa doesn't work in this fragrance also the performance is average.

so, in the end, I would suggest you to blind buy or buy this id give it a
5.5/10

also, the spray distribution is horrible!!!

Dom Jones

I picked this up online very cheap, and I've enjoyed it.

The packaging and presentation is unique, and the scent isn't talked about in the house of CK; less people will have this than the classic "one" or "shox".

In2u is a solid summer fragrance, fresh and floral, but isn't the strongest - projection is out of the window after about half an hour, but if you use enough (it is very cheap, so not a tragedy) you can get sweet whiffs throughout the day.

georgequeue

CK IN2U may be a synthetic, "dull" perfume, but in no way is it bad...not at all!

I got a 5 oz. bottle of this edt for just $27, and this is one that I've been using regularly, especially on the hotter days; it makes me feel very well! Although intended for the younger crowd, I think a 42-year old dude such as myself can rock it seamlessly.

CK IN2U opens with a bitter note of tomato leaf that lives throughout the evolution of the perfume. Afterward, the cocoa-lemon-vetiver combo starts to appear, providing the juice with an amazing, sparkling vibe, which is strenghtened by the woody accord. The musk adds to the fragrance masculinity.

When it comes to performance, CK IN2U offers good longevity (6-8 hours), as well as good projection and sillage--it's hard to believe that people have issues with its aromatic attributes because, in my case, it outperforms other perfumes I like such as Visit by Azzaro. I love the lemony, chocolatey, powdery effect it leaves on my skin and clothes, on which it sits for days...go figure!

I have nothing else to add except that this little CK boy doesn't disappoint. Of course, no people's perceptions and opinions are the same, so I suggest trying first, and then you'll come to your own conclusions.

I´m not liking this one unfortunately. I wore it for a while when I got it as a christmas present and didn't have much options until I started getting complaints, I remember someone even told me "that smells like a cheap women's fragrance, I'll have to give you something classy and masculine" (they gave me a bottle of Quorum later).
I don't hate this fragrance, it smells OK to me but now that I have a well rounded collection I have no situation to wear this since I got better options, CK One Shock is a much better alternative if you like that sweetness.

Coffee King

I've dismissed this one over the years, simply for being inoffesnsive to the point of boring. I picked up a bottle on a clearance deal. There is a reason this fragrance is so cheap, it sucks.

It smells cheap, it doesn't project, nor does it last. The notes, let's be clear, we have lemon, chocolate and tomato leaves, were these notes picked out of a hat, or was it a brain storming session where they decided on a mismatch of notes.

It's not unpleasant, it just has a total lack of quality, a fragrance with no performance is the same as a car with no engine. Pointless.

CKin2uforHim is a fresh and clean, inoffensive ‘almost gourmand’ fragrance - very Cacao forward with tomato leaf and vétiver to keep it light and fresh - that’s perfect to spray on after an evening shower before bed.

Shixoo

There is something addicting in ck in2u, no matter how many perfumes I try I always get back to this one, definitely there is a lot of fragrances out there that's better in terms of quality, but the scent of this one is exceptional, I don't care about longevity or projection, I just can't stop sniffing my self when I wear it :), heavenly scent makes me feel happy and calm, that's all I can say about it.

johnfeidu

An airport buy as a teenager.
Synthetic but pleasantly sweet.
Very fond of this fragrance at one stage.
Moderate longevity and projection.

dajc26

Luckily I didnt read the reviews before I bought it, because I liked it and was surprised to later read the many negative reviews. I own over 200+ fragrance and this is a straight forward scent that I quite enjoy while relaxing. Fresh beginning, linear but just an easy happy scent. There is a time and occasion for this simple but pleasant fragrance.

jp2004

I didn't know what to expact in IN2U. At first when i got this, 2 years ago, the fragrance did not suprise me. Actually the fragrance made me drop off. But after 6 months, when it turned summer, i started to like it.
It's a perfect mash-up of all the notes together. The tomato leaf just gives it a nice punch. The lemon freshes it up. And the cocoa and musk makes IN2U softer and warmer.

Scent: 7,5/10
Longevity: +- 6 hours
Sillage: moderate.
Occasion: every day use
Season: spring and summer

smells like a plastic. gave it to my lil bro back then...

JogaBonito

My high school fragrance. Quite synthetic now that I look back

UBAstro

Just about 5 years ago this was quite decent. I just had a chance to try it again few days ago and I can honestly say that it is %90 watered down! It was nothing like what I used to have. Such a shame..

jdfarley

I would say this is more of an essence, rather than a complex fragrance. Pretty linear scent that stays sweet, powdery, and lemony throughout. Its not the best fragrance by a long shot, but hey for $20 for a 3.4 oz bottle at TJ Maxx, I can't really complain. Pretty good longevity too.

finballamy

Fantastically marketed for teens, good scent moderate Sillage and longevity. More of a spring/fall scent in my opinion. Interesting smell though. Reminds me of the feeling when you like somebody but they don’t like you back. I go off it from time to time but there’s something about it that makes you want to keep using ...

scrutinizing

i like this very much. There's nothing offending in this one to hate it... wont buy it again because it lasts 30minutes :p
Try versace dylan blue, its like 90% the same, but lasts better

Tracer1203

This is what i might wear when I'm with mates, and i don't care how good i smell. as long as I don't smell bad.

makes me think of being in the garage working on my car with my mates.

it doesn't smell at all of those scents in the garage.
but that's when i would wear it.

Raees Saint

Nice perfume, a bit generic, good for days when you don't want to stand out.

lemony cocoa

after gym cologne. i like it.

francois81

I’m over 30, and maybe a shame, but I like IN2U… yes, this is a fragrance for teenagers, but smells so good. Somebody mentioned this stuff smells like Versace Blue Jeans, and he is right, very very similar, but I found this one is a bit lighter version. The opening with the lemon and the green/bitterish tomato leaf is working and good. In the mid I get a light, pure cocoa note, nothing special, really smells like something smooth chocolate, but I like it and this note is long lasting too. 3-3.5 hours later the sweet aroma fades away, and stay only a solid cedar-musky base. Nothing special, a very simple stuff, but sometimes less is more.

yess in

Nice scent. Not great but the kind of smells you might not like at the first sniff but you start liking it after a couple of times wearing it.
Quite versatile but best suited for spring/cooler summer days.

Note that it is harsh at the beginning but the dry down is nice.
Performance is just as listed above. Average.
Overall: 7/10

iapapaioannou

A safe, blind buy. Nice, fresh and clean scent, for a warm summer day.

eananc

Fairly generic powdery almost unisex day fragrance. Nothing special about it but nice smelling all the same. Id pick it up only on a heavy discount as longevity isn't great and almost smells like those cheap colognes you get in Aldi/Lidl.

Aceborne

I just got it. Weird, I'm getting a beer smell out of it. I don't like beer. My wife seemed to like it, idk, might have been a sympathy comment.

king.of.disaster

Initially smells like a fresher version of Armani Diamonds

Bibbly

A nice summers day fragrance but doesn't do enough to stand out from the crowd

knightlore

I love it, first bought it in 207, now got 150ml... Lovely it lasts on me all day..

TonyAKAMrClean

How does Polo Red get so much love, and this gets so much hate?! Advertising, ladies and gentlemen, that's how. Image. That's all!

This is the same type of smell as Polo Red, fruity on top, woody underneath, but with lemon instead of the kool-aid-esque cranberry top notes, which I didn't care for. In my opinion, this is still a very "red" scent and there's a very "berry" scent to it, from the combination of lemon and cacao. It's also a tad less sweet than Polo Red, but at least it doesn't start out smelling like a car air freshener. This scent is also similar to a lighter version of Diesel Only The Brave's dry down, if you can pick up the similarities between that and Polo Red, again, with lemon that fades deeper into the tomato leaf within 30 minute of applying.

For my money, I'm sticking with CK IN2U, as it's only $20 for a 5 oz bottle. I just bought a new 3.4 oz bottle for $12.99 on eBay. For me, it lasts longer and definitely projects better than Polo Red. I get 4-6 hours with this scent and 6-8 hours if I moisturize first, compared to a consistent 3 1/2 hours from Polo Red Intense, even though it's an EDP.

I've gone through at least 3 bottles of IN2U since 2007 and I get just as many compliments on this one as I did while sampling Polo Red Intense. The only improvement I'd make to this scent is to maybe add a touch of strawberry. That would make this scent perfect!

At first blast, citrus and cacao. Very fresh and spicy yet vaguely familiar.

After the citruses calmed down, the spices and the woods become prominent. The cacao adds a very dusty and earthy vibe to it and not a chocolatey aspect.

Very versatile fragrance. Can be worn during daytime coz it's fresh and nighttime since it's also quite spicy, sweet and woody. Officewear is also ok.

This reminds me of cosmetics and makeup and the familiar scent that it reminds me of is CK's Euphoria for women. Which my wife had and also reminds me of makeup. Remove the citrus topnotes and you have Euphoria for women.

Cool bottle and if the price is cheap will buy again.

RL_S

Quite fresh, but to me not the typical aquatic-kind.
Has some spiciness and depth to it. Possibly vetiver.
But it really is weak in longevity and soft in sillage. If only that was improved...as I prefer this CK frag to CK's Chemical Warfare* called Obsession.

Recommended for non-aggresive daily use. In the office, sure. Unless you're the ballsy power management-type; then it's too weak.
Once my bottle is depleted (it was a gift), I won't get it anymore. I prefer far stronger and longer lasting stuff.

*-yes I referenced a Slayer song in a fragrance review, deal with it! ;-)

I use this for around the house (inside) for an air freshener.

If you want a classy perfume that lasts... don't buy this.
Rating: 3/10

AJxx

Such a lovely smelling fragrance but doesn't last more than an hour on me (skin/cloth).... shame!

BLESSON

Doesn't last :-(

personne

Too synthetic. The opening is awful, I can't stand it. However the drydown has a softer and more pleasant quality.

Not unique at all. This is type of scent I will usually smell when men get out of the shower using a generic and clean scent.

Not bad to others, sure, but a boring and generic fragrance, doubt anyone would compliment it.

vihri

This is super cheap and it smells this way: very hard, even offensive, yet at the same time fades away very quickly. I honestly did not want to see it ever again after spraying it once.

bp

With a good jeans, a basic white t-shirt, a good pair of shoes and some accessories that match with that style, we have the perfect combination to use this CK and get excellent performance with him.
I love all the perfumes of Calvin Klein, since they are not too complicated and imposes an image of someone confident and irreverent.
I approve and got a bottle of 150ml.
I could not be happier with my purchase.
CK in a good way.

wonderwoman77

love this i wear it and im a woman

i love this scent as it gets real peppery after a spritz....

yummy

Godinezmarco

kind of tangy scent and doesnt last.

seju

I've had quite a few Calvin Klein fragrances and I usually like them, this one however I guess didn't make the cut. I had to give it away after using it for a week.

On my skin it smelled very masculine and warmly musky, kind of like the way a clean middle-eastern man would smell. The white musk is all there and I feel it doesn't really go well with me.

Projection is average and longevity after 3 to 4 hours it is already skin scent.

georgequeue

This is such a nice and inoffensive fragrance.

You can feel like powdery wood in it, which feels very fresh and soft, and it's mostly a warm weather scent; somebody said it smells like Coca-Cola, but that's a little overreacted!

A good product for an affordable price. My rating is:

Scent: 10/10
Longevity: 7/10
Sillage: 6.5/10
Price: 8.5/10

Average: 8.2

shop9ty

This scent is the best !! There's some scents that make me feel like I'm lathered in soap and I just arrived fresh from the shower. This smells soapy to me and the scent is very fresh.

Had to spray about 5 or 6 clicks to get the silage going
Longetivity only works if it's on your clothes

But spray it on ur neck and people a couple of hours later will complement u
When they go in close for a hug

Chicks have told other girls who told me that I smell nice (when I was wearing this scent)

This isn't a wow scent to wow others but a clean fresh scent for yourself
It's unique smell is one I always come back to.

Matías Ross

Love this scent. But the longevity it's so damn poor.

Anyways, it's a good call if your looking forward to smell good and fresh on the summer.

Coffee King

I didn't get any citrus on my skin of any kind, what I got was a pretty nice woody, mellow tone. I'm not the biggest lover of CK I think it's fair to say, but this one isn't bad. I sprayed it 3 hours ago, and it's completely gone, was quite good while it lasted.

mcaldow

I've never been a fan of Calvin Klein fragrances. They are usually poorly done and smell cheap, and this is no exception. Just a locker room school boy fragrance. No man over 20 should be wearing this.

Aleccsei

I have to admit, I bought this because I wanted a summer fragrance, it was on sale and because someone on Youtube mentioned it would be great. which it is, but unfortunately, for only a couple of minutes.

It does take you on some paradise tropical island, but only for a couple of seconds...

smoj

smells like lemonade to me, not bad, like many people have said doesn't last too long. nice and fresh, I'm sure my 100ml bottle will last along time, as i don't see myself wearing it out very much, especially as there is many other citrusy type scents to wear out which will last a lot longer. good to wear straight from the shower if your having a night in. not so much a scent for going out in.

livio.marucci

Generic Axe Body Spray... Is that you?

RobbieX

Quite nice and grows on you. Casual and easy to wear as people have said. Not a citrus at all on me though and I find it quite dry and dusty. But it's a nice fragrance. And......there is something there that makes you want to come back to it.......

Geordieboy

Realy easy to wear fragrance but longevity is poor. Needs reapplying alot. If that was better it would be highly recommended

Steppero

Very weak and boring. it's "ok"

sourmiloko

I ware this Cologne everyday! I'm 21 and It smells fresh clean and hip. It reminds me of a newly free twenty something guy finding his way and going out on the towns while trying to make himself. To me its smells very sweet and has a strong citrus sent. Other people are saying it smells peppery or spicy, I cannot smell it very well, It mostly smells of lemon and wood. I pretty much have adopted it as my main fragrance, the first day I spritzed it on myself I couldn't stop smelling myself, I went to the bar and everyone could smell it, they came up to me and had a large smell and would pretend to faint because it smelt so good. I find women really like this scent. Its very young and boyish. Its also cheap and has an awesome looking bottle.

Virgoan-hunk

Picture Walking on The Beach, its a Warm, sunny day,and there's a light breeze carrying the smell of the Ocean. Not Far along the Coast there grows some Lemon trees, amongst them grows some pine trees, and there's a qaint little coffee shop that's built there that gently wafts its lingering aroma.
Picture smelling all of this and you'd get a picture of what CKin2U Men smells like.
Its a mix of the Salty sea air, coffee and cocoa,lemon and a pine fresh breeze.
Fresh, youthful, Casual and Care free.
CKin2U Men is a perfect fragrance to wear during those hot summer days when you're simply out with your friends.

Its a Bit of the usual Generic summer frag mix (lemon,musk etc) but the cocoa Pod and tomato leaf make an absurd difference, This actually smells like the sea. Its Salty, sweet, Musky, citrusy and Fresh.
Not usually what I'd go for, I however have used it on Hot days and it blends well into my skin in our Tropical climate, and it smells Good enough to become part of my Summer Fragrance Rotations.

Summer by the sea, pretty aptly sums up this fragrance for me.
Its has okay projection- for 3 hours
And Longevity is 6-7 hours (all CK fragrances seem to go well with my chemistry I guess, yay lucky me haha).
In all a fun, Youthful, Carefree summer frag, and that's pretty much it. Don't use it expecting it to be a Panty dropper, club filling, Suave and manly fragrance, its made for summer, meant for summer and should be used only for summer, so stop complaining it doesn't meet expectations on it being amazing in the club scene, or not being sophisticated enough. CKin2U men was not made to be a perfume esteemed for its glitz and macho punch, nor is it made for nights sweating it out in the club, The bottle design all the way to the ads scream Summer, so shock of all shocks the juice inside will definitely smell Like The sea,summer and just like the season its Fun, frivolous and Care free. Nothing Groundbreaking or jaw dropping but its worth a try, especially seeing as that it also seems to be well complimented by friends.
7 out of 10

Edit- this cologne after a few months starts to lose its charm and you're left wondering why you even bothered to buy a second bottle. So for future reference fragranticans, buy it once but let it go like a short summer romance.

StinkOMatic

This is a weird one, it's ok i guess. Recommend for teens to about 25yo. Anyone can wear this but i see a mature person wearing something a bit more classy than this casual scent

Sharks2431

Nothing to dislike about it. Light, fresh, summery...and of course affordable. Bought 50ml on speacial at Debenhams for a whopping £14!!:)

The longevity is a bit of an issue, does not last on my skin.

Youthful scent!

I would give it a 7 out of 10

ph4tk0nt0ll3r

Not bad for a cheapy. Doesn't last that long on me, maybe 2/3 hours at best. Can have a bit of a fly spray smell like some others have mentioned, but overall if you are after something cheap and can wear on any occasion this will do

LuisPirica

i like it

gaz525

I bought this as a blind buy as it was very cheap to take on holiday. I LOVE IT. it is very green but still strong,as I find some green smelling fragrances can be abit incipid.I get a basil freshness followed by cut grass and sea smells.the dry down reminds me of all these smells but mixed with tobacco which just makes it a pleasure to wear.there is also a sweetness to it.I felt ckin2u really came into its own at night when out having drinks. It is the kind of scent you can smell the morning after on your clothes and bed sheets.I have just picked up a whopping 150ml for £23 :-)

morphineblues

My boyfriend have this one and i am absoulately LOVING it .
Everytime he uses this, i want to jump on him. hehe
such a sexy and clean smell for men :)

durcak111

Jun0711

This cologne is oriental woody scent. This cologne is good for casual wearing.

shaunnadeamo

Nice clean scent however nothing incredibly special.

nonnative

great interesting innovative bottle. Beautiful design and packaging. Not so innovative in the construction of the fragrance. Same boring masculine after shave.

RobbieX

This is a subtle vanilla, cocoa and spicy/woody scent. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Not a fresh scent though - I can not smell any citrus at all in this. But this is a grower, is easy to wear and masculine. It's one of those that you select if you're not sure what you fancy that day - like it.

MexiKen09

I was hoping for this to be an aquatic citrus smell, but all I got was SPICY. It stills smells the same on my skin as when I sprayed it. I am getting a bit of the cacao pod but very slightly. Very spicy, not my cup of tea. Smells generic, cheap and yeah.

Chawanwit

To me it is what I would use on my routine days like going to university or going to work. It is better than body spray because it scent is better and last longer but it is no surprise this is a very safe and simple scent and should not be used on days that you want to impress some one.

Heretosmell

like most of the other perfumes of the CK clan,CKin2u(men)also,is a safe buy.this perfume has two side:a bright side and a not-so-bright side.now lets see these 2 sides.
BRIGHT SIDE:it is a safe buy and quite a trustworthy one.you can never go wrong with it.CKin2u is a fresh,youthful fragrance,quite demure and subtle.its not too loud and overwhelming.quite a peaceful scent i should say.the base notes comprise of white musk,cedar and vetiver.of these cedar is the most prominent one.hence,its safe to call it a woody fragrance.the subtle citrusy notes are detectable from the moment you apply it ,to an hour or so(depending on your skin chemistry)and it becomes prominent when the wind takes up some speed.(otherwise it is mostly dormant)to sum it up,its a fragrance for which people will inwardly appreciate you.
THE NOT-SO-BRIGHT SIDE:as mentioned above,it is a fragrance for which people will appreciate you inwardly.thats it.no one will come up to you and ask"you smell good.what are you wearing?"this exactly is the not-so-bright side.this perfume is not recommended for people who are highly experimental because this perfume might let you down.the top notes are lemon and tomato leaf,which are detectable in trace amounts and the middle note is cocao leaf which is invisible after 20-30 minutes.the woody note remains though,thereby making it "oh-i-have-smelt-this-before kind of perfume.the perfume smells very familiar indeed.and you will be wondering "have i smelt something like this before?"its silliage is 3-4 hours,and the fragrance bids you a hearty farewell after5-6 hours.nothing is left of it then.
CKin2u(him) might invoke a considerable amount of appreciation but it wont make heads turn.it is recommended for day to day wear,when you are with your friends,etc.but its not suitable for parties and social gatherings.

mrfume

Received this as a gift wont write much about it but i enjoy this treat somewhat spicy,woody a slightly different take,though im sure there are synthetics in this but over all not a bad scent a good alt if you're board with Ck one or cool water,on me it doesn't last very long, with about 6 heavy sprays i get 4 to 5 hours tops.but its enjoyable to wear for sure.casual is the word,, would suit the teen crowd well . for me it works well in summer and winter both

5.5*/10*

benpaul12

Loved it when I was 18, still have half a bottle left but wouldn't wear it now (I am 23). I loved the smell of this because it was obvious and strong - and had a woody base. I got plenty of compliments about it too.

Good longevity (on me) and a good fragrance, but not a life long signature.

ChristopherRiley

An initially smooth cocoa stlye modern frag which is ideal for the autumn...

I applied 6 heavy sprays

0 -1 hour - 1 foot projection. Smooth, distinctive and mild-cocoa, ideal for the cold, moody October in the U.K- its not too heavy and quite cool and distinctive. This is the best bit, and this is not a basic frag at this stage Ages 28 -38

1 hours - 4 hours. 6 inch projection. The smooth cocoa feel slips away into the windy night, and whats left is a musky floral which is similar to the 1st hour, yet the creaminess in the 1st hour made this frag, so now it'sjust ok and quite basic.

4 hours - 5 hours 1 inch projection

5-7 hours. Close to skin

Nice 1st hour, thereafter nothing special

35volkan77

Spring/summer casual. You'll need to puff a lot. And longevity is weak. I bought a gift set on the internet because of the nice price. Do i regret? No. And would i buy again? No again...

steve.brule

Top is VERY synthetic (would not spray close to the face, you could possibly burn your nose hairs off from the chemicals)...You can tell the Middle is trying to get to the bottom quickly...then finally reach the bottom which is somewhat pleasant. However, it smells like too many notes are trying to fight for your attention at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I think it smells "ok", just really hard to pick out A note that sticks out more than the rest. It is a youthful synthetic scent that would probably fly with someone content enough to smell like the teen crowd. Calvin Klein has done better, but he has also done worse. I would say it's worth sampling if you’re low on cash and want a modern/youthful scent.

3 out of 5

KeithScar

Ck in2U is a nice sweet pleasant aromatic fragrance. This was a blind buy for me. I got this at TJ Maxx a 3.4 oz for 20 bucks which is great for Calvin Klein's stuff so i had to jump right on it. I wear this for everyday causal use in the spring/summer. The bottle has a unique presentation. In2U is definatley for the 20 something college crowd. Great Buy

luuk89

Liked it, huge memories with disco life and this one was my favourite.

ofokudoh

i love ck.they think d bottles r meant 2 b sprayed instead of d liquid in it.this perfume is a nice bottle of spirit 4 wounds.if it's perfect 4 a luxury treatment for bruises and injuries.

nillojapa

It's not a very good scent for my nose, very sintetic in a different way, but it's very good for teenagers going to the school and day-by-day things

Zenith

Good. Not great, but definitely good. The scent overall seems fresh and spicy with a decent amount of sweetness to it, giving it a feminine hint, but not too much.

I enjoy the scent of this, but it is slightly fleeting, and the combo of sweet spices makes this one a little bit more unusual, but a very safe choice to wear.

Women feel free to give this a go too

Aspendina

this is a girls review who loves mens fragrances. I personally think that most mens fragrances all smell the same, I guess u can't really get to creative like u can with women's and still keep it manly, so the same scent combos must get used over and over again. This was not different it just smells like all other men fragrances out there.

ChemistRhi

Feel like I have to stick up for this; I find it SO sexy, fresh and alluring.

Mt partner wore this on our first date, and it still drives me wild, I know people say it's quite generic but I can sniff it out miles away and I'm usually obsessed with things being 'different'.

I don't find it too sweet, i'd say fresh and dry at the same time if possible, boyish and very sexy and woody and lasts ages even if you can't smell it on yourself, it seems to last hours on my partner's skin.

Gorgeous, great value for money too.

dasa

Yet another cheap cologne by CK. Merely a plankton on the market that wont make any significant succes in days to come. Dissapontment is even bigger when you grab a bottle and say: wow this is heavy, looks like they put extra effort in this one; then you smell it and say: yuck, I will empty the content out, go and buy myself a bottle of old spice and put it in this bottle - I'll be better of with it. Synthetic citrus is all I get from this one.

bp

Very, very, very good.
If you are young man wears this perfume.

benjililin

Nothing special about this one...
Just throw it on if your popping out to the shops or to a mates.
Poor longevity, reasonable projection on my skin, and an OK smell.
First spray smells like bug killer, dry down is peppery and woody.
An OK fragrance, reasonable pricing.

6.5/10

charlytankian

Not even close to a nice fragance.. It last 1 hour top. It does not have personality, nothing to stand out.. Do not waste your $ on it..

90hou

Like it very much~

RobbieX

It's a non-descript but pleasant scent. I will wear it for work just to empty the bottle, though if I see it it cheap - I would buy it again. The drydown is a powdery, dry, dusty, not fresh, sweet scent, the sillage is OK - it's just too subtle. Lovely well made bottle and the sillage is strangely likeable and grows on you.

syafiqqa

i like the smell..my boyfriend smells it before at the store,and he likes it,i want to buy it for my boyfriend as a present..

Nanc

I purchased in2u for my husband and our teen son tried it smelled so good on him I ended up giving it to our son, the combination cedar and citrus mixed very well with his chemistry.

jcastano

Overall, this is one of probably one of the better offerings from the Calvin Klein house, especially in most recent years. The bottle looks like a soda pop bottle and I think that's the whole underlining theme of this scent. Very "poppy" and "fizzy". The notes include citron vert, pomelo leaves, frosted tangelo, Cacao bean, jamaican pepper, shiso leaves, white musk, white cedar, and vetiver.

The opening of CKIN2U is very fruity and almost smells carbonated. Imagine opening a bottle of your favorite citrus soda pop. You get the citrus but it's a light lemon, and also some gin, all over a slightly powdery musk. However, within minutes, all of the top notes are subdued by a light chocolate. The chocolate isn't at all dominant or harsh as say in Angel Men or Givenchy Very Irresistable. In fact, I'd compare it directly to the chocolate in Euphoria Intense (of course it would identical since both come from the same house), but rather lighter and almost fresh. It truly gives a unique quality to this scent, like when we all were kids eating candy and drinking soda. Good times! :)

As the scent dries down, the chocolate remains over the light woods and hint of vetiver with the underlying powdery musk. It has some unique aspects to it but overall, this pleasant scent isn't all that unique and longevity and sillage are both moderate. To best describe this scent, think of a less mature version of Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme (purple bottle). Although very pleasant, this is just another mainstream, run of the mill scent that we've all smelled at some point. Still, compared to all the other mediocre fragrances CK produces, this one stands just a hair above that.

ewanazwan

waste waste waste.
luckily it's just a travel set.
mine is still untouchable.
smells weird.

ck in2u for her is better.

Bastian-Fleming

Another summer fragrance, nice for daily use
fresh, i smell cucumber note here,
but the longevity is bad
it fades away after 1-2 hours

My score : 7.5/10

takeasniff

I am a female and I wear this. My husband got it and I liked the CK Summer versions I used to sneak a little bit of his one. So I tried this when he wasn't looking and it does not smell like a mans perfume on me. I find it lasts. I do find some of the women's perfumes are too sweet or annoying but found that mens ones were too masculine. This one is perfect and Nautica Voyage I also find women could wear if they wanted to. I like marine scents and fresh perfumes but a lot of the women's ones just don't smell like what I want. I did have to re-apply this one in the middle of the day because by then it was difficult to smell. Is it just me or are mens aftershaves cheaper to buy than womens?

johan00418

CK In2U is the best fragrance that I ever had. Smells great! And the lasting power is very good too. I highly recommend this fragrance.

knightlore

I find most CK fragrance are sickly, so will not replace!

jerichodeg

It reminds me of Versace Blue Jeans without the harsh notes--> not necessarily a good thing. This is too plain for me :( BTW, is it just me, or did any of you notice that CK bottles have bad sprayers?

another calvin klein's teen smell. not good, not bad, just average.

I just bought a bottle at unclaimed baggage for 18 bucks I sprayed it on my wrist before bed to test it out when i woke it was still spot on even until i showered.This is in cold weather so my body heat didn't burn it off. Alot of people say that this fragrance doesn't last long try it in colder weather the scent reminds me of Le'male with a cigar threw into the mix a light vanilla cigar. 7/10

I found In2u didn't fade away too quickly. You'll think that when you're surrounded by it that it's dissappeared but I can always smell it on my skin and my clothes when I wear it and the guys around work complimented it. I get odd whiffs over a few hours.
It's the perfect casual scent, the lemon is softer than usual and fades quickly, the spices are the more notable in development, and the tomato leaf, which i expected to do nothing, actually adds the lightest greenness. The cacao is almost unnoticeable, but i think any sweetness from the cacao is subtle background in the heart.
I can see where people would say its nothing special, or a very ordinary scent, but some other people will find it something really special once it hits the skin. It really comes out well on me and It's grown on me as more enjoyalbe than when i first purchased it.

Very light to wear, nothing special, fades away after 2 hours,

An EDT with clean and subtle aroma. Acid input notes, middle notes with hints of green notes and a note that might say as fat or cream base notes of fresh wood.

The age range is definitely for young audiences, is a subtle aroma and a unisex fragrance trend as the CK One fragrance works well as everyday or after the gym. I recommend it if you like the creamy kind notes.

This just might be the most original scent CK has released since CK1. When I saw the commercial I assumed it would be just for twenty-somethings but upon smelling it, I bought it and the matching deodorant immediately (so did my Mother I might add) and over the next year collected the body wash and aftershave balm. The flankers to this:Heat and Pop, were alright but this, this is...wonderful!

The top smells just like a gin and tonic with alot of lime surrounded by greens and the 'frosted tangelo' note catches both orange's sweet juiciness and tangerine's slightly sour sweetness perfectly and makes the opening of this sweet, bitter and green in a single breath. As the heart begins to 'beat' the aromatic shiso leaves (burned in their native land to produce a rich incense like smoke)add a slight incensiness (w/o the smokiness)to the pimento's warmth and cacao's slightly gourmand dry sweetness. This sounds so very confusing but once you inhale the heavenly vapors blended with the bright opening you will understand. This is a scent you should not judge by how it smells in the first five minutes, you'll miss the miracle! The finish is very manly with vetiver's green soapiness, white cedar and a very smooth 'cool' musk that is classic with a modern minimalism to it. Manly, fresh, modern yet classy and slightly unique-this one is a keeper! Every man should have a bottle of this...

Sillage: very good
Longevity: above average
Overall: 4.75/5

The notes on CK's site list are thus:
Top-lime gin fizz
pomelo leaves
frosted tangelo
Heart-cacao pods
pimento
shiso leaves
Base-ultra vetiver
cool musk
white cedar

These seem more 'on' to me than those listed above. I truly enjoy this scent, no matter what is in it and have had more compliments from this than any other CK fragrance, bar none. Maybe it is my skin (or what my skin does to the 'juice') but I like to think it's the magic of the FOUR noses involved in its construction. Like the four elements coming together to make the Fifth...this showed me my faith in Calvin Klein was not misplaced.

Never smelt tomato leafs in a fragrance before, but I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. It gives IN2U a distinctive spicy smell. I use it as my sport scent, since it's pretty fresh and not too heavy, but still shows character. Can't go wrong with this if you find it at a cheap price somewhere, which I did.

I must say the female version is more interesting than the male version though. One of my favorite female fragrances.

charlieshaw

I'm not usually into these type of fragrances, I like sweet fragrances and not oriental. But CK IN2U suprised me, it's lovely. Not my favourite but it's nice, lovely and fresh.

Veedabestchef

CKin2u is light sweet fragrance..Its very nice scent...really good for the summer but longevity is poor and less or poor on sileage...Its similar to Ck free but less lighter..Nothing new to this fragrance..Good for starter collection if your sick and tired of axe and old spice..try Ckin2u..

LG.Brandon

I got this for Christmas and I like it, it smells nice, I mean, it's not something fantastic or a must-have but it's really conservative, therefore, it would be appropriate for school, the office or a job interview. I would recommend wearing this during Fall and Summer. The only disappointment I have with this cologne is the longevity, on me it only lasts about 2 hours. When I smell this fragrance, I visualize politics, the army/cadets and a marching band. 3/5

CourtrightHer

Not my thing and I'm sure I'm past the demo age. Found it to be just a clean and fairly uninteresting watered down scent. At one point, before the fast fade, the base smelled like pencil shavings. Life is too short (and there are way to many great fragrances) for this sort of nonsense. Did not care for the bottle either.

Recipe for CK IN2U:
....1-Some Ice cream
....2-Some Tobacco
....3-A little honey
....Mix them and freeze the mixture.
....After 2houres you have CK IN2U!

The smell is nice, but there are no sillage, no longevity, and no projection.

Be happy!

انگار که یه خورده بستنی و عسل و توتون رو قاطی کرده باشید و اون رو توی فریزر گذاشته باشید
بوی خوبی داره اما چندان برجسته نیست
دوام و پخش بوی کمی هم داره

Usually for him/her perfumes, I prefer the male perfume. IN2U is no exception; in fact, I like the For Him perfume so much better it's laughable. I'd say that IN2U For Him is aquatic and fresh, but with underlying spices and notes. The lemon stars the show for most of its duration. Initially, there's a fresh blast of something like sea-water (reminds me of Nautica Oceans, but better) which settles down into spicy woods. The lemon, spice, and cedar woods and balanced neatly. Far into the dry-down, the musk begins to be noticeable, but never enough to change the otherwise dry and woody texture.

IN2U for Him is definitely young and casual, but a little bit common. Also the staying power, though better than IN2U for Her, is still really weak. But I have to say, this can be and oh so attractive.

rozaly

I love it! Very democratic, too much like CK. It's light, sweet, but not nauseating. The one you can waer all day long and never get tired.
Created for the young ladies, for dayly use. Acceptable and not irritating for other people, so possibly to wear in the office. Summer-like scent.

rx

Unimpressed with the scent. Feels damp.

bronstein

They say it's the scent for the computer age. Well, if that was Calvin Klein's objective, they achieved it: It smells really good, it's sweet but not heavy, very modern... and totally unsexy.

But that doesn't have to be a disadvantage: It's perfect for business, or for days you are going to meet men only, anyway...

myb86

Well maybe most of you bought the imitation, cos this perfume's really sweet and I used some in the morning and I could still smell it on me in the evening.....It's a long lasting fragrance

andy

slightly sweet fougere type with descent longevity and perfect for intimate/romantic wear! its way better than the original CKbe and CKone frags, but still unoriginal and very commonplace

Goofy

smeels slightly sweet after some time , not very masculine .Use it when not decided what to wear .

MR.ClickClick

I used to wear this in high school and thought it was the best fragrance ever. "ignorance is bliss". I then stopped wearing it and tried to start it in my rotation again. I'm smelling it now and all its doing is giving me a headache :(. I like the female version a lot though.

wakemeupalready

This is not our usual CK fare... WHAT is going on Calvin??

To me this is very bland not what I'd expected from CK. the bottle sold it for me but when I spray it, it just bores me, its quite sweet and pretty much smells cheap.

Come on CK make me believe in your fragrances again!

nightcrawler27

hard on the nose..not for tropical countries and hot weathers

crfan

Very pleasing smell. Soft, easy on the nose and delicious. But it has a huge quality problem. Does not last and very synthetic. I just threw away a full bottle because it gave me a headache.

asfa

nice and spicy for me its have good lasting power about 5 houres +

K to the D

um... I dont know what to say but I think that Ive bought a fake one of this because when I spray it on me it lasts no more than 30 minutes.. but the pack and the bottle is the same as the one in the pictures
anyways its fresh and I can smell lemon and tomato leaf at the opening and i can smell some tea notes few minutes after spraying

leomat2008

It´s a fresh scent with no long lasting power. The smell of tomato leaves makes it a real fougere.A good scent for office, day-by-day, street, going out with friends and dispretencious occasions. Ideal for hot climas. A young scent, matches with young man (or woman too). I liked it a lot! The feminine version is good too and matches with man (a little more citric-vanilla-fruity scent, yet fresh and young). Both are so comfortable and doesn´t disturbs the olfact.

acc

cheap smell, average lasting power, gets no compliments at all. very high price for very low quality...

Giv1952

incense. and vetiver Love it

promoscanner

Not even close to anything by Burberry, to my nose.

It is in my daily rotation, for office wear/after dinner drinks, etc. It is a fairly youthful fragrance. If you are over 35, you should probably steer away.
