For some reason, the description here on Fragrantica describes the women's version of Contradiction, not the men's.

Not sure I'd bother with it now as I feel there's a wealth of far superior sweet/warm/intimate scents out there, but it's definitely very nice, especially in colder weather and would suit both day and evening wear (though go easy in the day, it's quite strong! This is a scent of leaving a lot behind and taking only the bare minimum into a new life, turning a new page, daring to explore foreign grounds. I dunno, I can understand how other people like it, but, it just did not go with my oriental chypre floral nose. But where DK Gold is warm, strong, and of a completely different character (aside from the lily note), Contradiction is cool and at once both watery/aquatic and dry/aromatic, clean floral and salty musky -- nicely full of contradictions! this is the only time that you can actually smell the scent, after about an hour, less even, you are back where you started before you put it on.Eucalyptus as a fragrance note is very strong and normally completely takes over in a fragrance, but here it is mixed well so all the notes can come through. A nice floral fresh scent with hints of green (not grassy or leafy) clean florals, a coolness, a touch wet thoughnot jumping into aquatic territory.

Unfortunately, like most Calvin Klein fragrances, this doesn't last longer than a couple of hours, but it does a great job while around. en la botella; dejaré que los recuerdos maduren, quizá el tiempo pueda traer algo de ese encanto de vuelta.The dry-down is rather lovable and does linger on the skin in a very pleasant way, but it's the bottle that really makes Contradiction to stand out: a cool (in every sense of the word), ultra-modern, somehow urban, chic metal (yes, I did say "chic metal" :-D ). Not that I do not like some niche creations, but it is just so infinitely borning, the whole concept. The scent brings to mind wet roses in dewy morning sun with a slight metallic touch before the bright, pretty and warm heart takes hold with its notes of lily of the valley, peony, rose, berries and eucalyptus. Longevity is around 4 hours -- neither great nor horrible -- and it plays close to the vest with the exception of the opening; my one wish is that it stay a little bigger throughout.
