The Annick Menardo Signature

Annick Menardo is one of the most distinctive perfumers in modern fragrance, known for Bvlgari Black, Hypnotic Poison by Christian Dior, and Lolita Lempicka. For Calvin Klein Women, her bold approach paired with Honorine Blanc’s contemporary sensibility created a fragrance that balances modern freshness with refined sophistication. The unusual eucalyptus-pepper opening signals Menardo’s signature willingness to embrace distinctive perfumery materials.

How It Smells

The opening is immediately distinctive with warm black pepper and refreshing eucalyptus creating an unusual aromatic introduction. There is no shy citrus burst. Calvin Klein Women announces its character from the first spray.

The heart blooms with refined magnolia and sweet orange blossom, creating a soft white floral character that distinguishes the fragrance from typical designer feminines. The dry-down settles on smooth cedarwood and contemplative olibanum (frankincense). A base that lingers on skin for hours with sophisticated, slightly woody-incense, modern feminine depth.
