Calvin Klein Calvin Klein fragrances and colognes is an American brand company founded by Calvin Klein in 1960. The brand is known for its simplicity and classic style, and helped him launch his craze for jeans in 1970 when he added the brand name to the back pocket. Today, Calvin Klein is world-famous for his jeans, underwear and fragrance collections. The watches and jewelry collection became part of the brand's offerings in 1997. The company logo is as well-known as the brand name and has adorned many of the company's products in its line of work. The company's first Calvin fragrance was launched in 1981. Since then, Calvin Klein has released a series of successful fragrances that many consider to capture the spirit of the decades in which they were created, including Obsession (1985 for women, 1986 for men), CK One (one of the first unisex fragrances in 1994) and Euphoria (2005 for women, 2006 for men). Klein's fragrance design license now belongs to Coty.
