Encounter, released by Calvin Klein in 2012 and composed by Honorine Blanc and Pierre Negrin, is a boozy, spicy woody fragrance marketed for men. Woods lead, spice is strong, and musky, floral and citrus notes add touches.
The opening is warm and boozy: mandarin orange gives a citrus lift, cardamom a cool spice and rum a sweet, spirited warmth. The heart is rich and spicy, with cognac adding a fruity, boozy depth, pepper a dry prickle, jasmine a floral glow and patchouli an earthy warmth. The base is oud, cedar and musk, a dark woodiness with a dry, clean finish.
Many wearers find longevity very weak, others moderate, and the sillage is mostly intimate, so it stays close. It is voted for autumn and winter and is mostly an evening scent. It suits evenings out, cool weather and casual dinners, and anyone who likes boozy spice and woods in a subtle, close-wearing form.
