What do reviewers say about Squid and Reveal?
It is not for those who want a polite office scent. For the adventurous, its strange, inky heart offers a uniquely compelling beauty that is hard to forget.Squid
Reveal is not a typical Calvin Klein freshie. The salt-pepper opening is bolder than expected, but the drydown is soft and close. It asks for patience.Reveal
