CK One by Calvin Klein

rubitta

oh my god how a wonderfull perfum ,, really its one of my favourit which i used it when i was at school , i was teenager and smell it on my freind and till now it reminds me for too many memorise which seriously i like.
lemon smell i dont why its looks like that maybe because its very freshy and summery perfum it was from 6 years that last time i used this one

guest_

this perfume is a trully classic unisex, its fresh, clean and a sexy smell, for everyday wear... good...

marad

A splash of freshness right away! Perfect to start a summer day!

ilikethequiet

I didn't have this fragrance during my teen years--I was already beyond my college years when this perfume was released--so I have no teen associations with CK One.

I have to agree with the other commenters who have described CK One as fresh, clean, and well-balanced.

The citrus notes endure from top notes to dry down, but they become softer as the perfume dries down. I really love the balance of oakmoss, green/chypre notes and the trace of light florals that linger in the dry down; these notes work wonderfully with my chemistry.

I think this could become screechy, particularly in the top notes, if it were heavily sprayed on. But when applied with a light hand, CK One works for men and women, in the office or for casual get-togethers, and in both warm and cool weather.

Nogitsune07

I've always liked this one. Simple, clean and refreshing, and it still smells like that to me. A bit dated, maybe, but seriously, what's not to like?

Lemale75

yes is very similar to chrome...but chrome lasts a little bit more...and has that metalic note...but yes they stole the whole thing...

jasonx

@denmaz: To me Chrome literally stole the middle and the drydown of this one.

originaldeftom

So "hip" and relevant in 1995 as the first officially marketed unisex frangrance.

So "out" and irrelevant today.

"Paco" by Paco Rabanne is nicer.

Lucero

Pretty much my 1st perfume i ever had & used,i was about 10-11 & i would always sneek into my moms room before i left to school & spray some one,it was a great way to start the day...so fresh so clean! =)

liam0225

Just picked up the 100ml collectors bottle with speaker for £4.99, im so chuffed lol! :)

eilismaireg

An ex boyfriend bought this for me for christmas. I took the hint and we split up - disgusting, un feminine and smells like a cleaning product - for toilets

krmarich

Colorless and overly feminine, it is not unisex. Well, maybe in the mid 1990s when it didnt matter. By todays standards, it is for ladies only. Otherwise, on men it is a loud cacophony of shrill florals that scream! Unisex has always been suspect for me. This was the first one to raise that red flag on me. There are other ladies scents that work better on me, like Casmir by Chopard. CK began cranking out these clones of each other. I abandoned them all together.

sharyssa

Bought this lastnight have not smelled it in a long time it was popular when I was in school it is not as good as I remember but I will wear it the bottles are so cute I love that you can switch the sprayer. Maybe when it is empty I can refill with another fragrance.

Coutureguru

I wear this one in Summer at the risk of smelling like every other mall rat out there! Doesn't change the fact that I like it tho' ...

misscareyann

This came out the year I graduated high school. It is the most clean scent I've ever experienced.
I believe that a fragrance doesn't have to be from the 1920's or 30's to be a classic. CK One is a modern classic. The perfect unisex fragrance.
Crisp, clean and fresh. The epitome of what I would think 'Citrus Aromatic' would be.

soniamcalear

Out with the eighties and in with the new way better smelling stuff! Gag me!!! Not another drop of this stuff will ever hit my skin again.

Majah90

My lovely brother use this one a lot and I really like it on him!! :D
But me.. I could never wear a scent like this. I think it smells too masculine. So I leave it up to my brother, where it belongs :)

Sanny

This fragrance was good and is still very good. Very pleasing to the nose.

dm8m

i used this scent back in high school.every girl & guy back in those days adore it. but for some reason, i'm not into using it again. it brings back good memories though.=)

sugarplumjabba

This was THE scent when I was just starting high school. I remember getting a bottle for my 14th bday and wearing it for the first 2 years of high school. I had my first boyfriend and first kiss during the time I wore this fragrance. At the time it was the EPITOME of fragrance for me, I remember my first 3 grown up fragrances were Sunflowers by Elixabeth Arden, followed by ck One, which was then replaced by Polo Sport for women once my 3rd year of high school started. Smelling it then, it was very fresh, very unisex and SO incredibly WONDERFUL. I smelled it recently as my cousin got a bottle and it really smells like a man's cologne to me now. It's still a wonderful smell but I couldn't see myself wearing it, but when I did wear it back then it was great, and it was 14 years ago !!!

aktp-iciook

Ck one is a powdery fragrance in a good and well-blended way. IMHO, I find this fragrance very versatile in its unique pattern to fit both men and women.

Sillage is very good and longevity is enough to make me refreshed for several hours.

Men wearing Ck one is as many as women.

All in all. 9/10 for its simplistic bottle and versatility. Thank you for reading :)

karlovonamesti

I want to be really fair to CK One in that I never really "wore" it in any serious sense, maybe for a few days here and there. It's unisex, it's sweet smelling, very fruity notes in it. It was all over the place in the 90s when I was in high school, although mostly on girls. I don't really like it, but I could see it being a nice scent for teenagers.

bronstein

This IS the definite scent of the gender-confusing 1990s.

But the 1990s are over, and this scent is dated. A relic from a long-gone era.

tsa22

When this fragrance was introduced it was very new and nice and I used to love it and wear it very often. Now my tast has changed and I haven't used it since highschool.

lilyosl

oh no!!! i tot CK one is for male only....tats y i brought many years ago for my brother bcoz im in love with the scent! Now i want it for my self! if is so attractive and so fresh, like dating in a mountain where full of flower in the spring ....

rainydaze

This is a great 'family scent', I share a bottle with my family, and everyone from dad to mom to my sisters and teen bro can pull off this versatile scent effortlessly. This also happens to be the second real fragrance I've ever owned (the first being Avon's Sweet Honesty). You just can't go wrong with CK One, its wonderfully fresh and clean and very agreeable to almost every nose that has sniffed upon it, whether male or female, young or old.

Strangely I have never been a fan of CK Be despite it having been marketed in the same vein as CK One...it is too 'sour' to my nose.

imperfect-angel

CK1 give me a perfect definition of "unisex perfumes". A fresh, clean and citrusy fragrance.

xtaxcy7

Finally!!! Grabbed myself a 200 ml ..today...i stopped using Ck One for nearly 10 years... now iam back on it! yeah!

czardog

This becomes a very familiar fragrance with my body chemistry. Deep Woods Off. At least the mosquitos and critters don't come around. YUK.

andy

the blandest scent i have ever smelled im surprised people even wear this stuff i smelled a walmart immitation that actually smelled better

deeper_shallow

Ah, the mid-nineties! I have extremely mixed feelings about cK One. A few of my friends wore it, and I absolutely loved it on them - such an icy and crispy scent. But it was when I got a bottle for myself that I realised for the first time that perfumes can smell very different depending on who's wearing it. As I've discovered over the years, most "fresh" scents totally clash with my chemistry - cK One smells like nothing but rotten flowers on me. Maybe some lemon, too, but the lemons you forgot in the back of the fridge last month.

albania9diadem

So many other citrus fragrances try replicate originality of ck one by being citrus, clean and fresh. A truly nice unisex fragrance. Reminds me of the smell of my girlfriend hair after she gets out of the shower.

xtaxcy7

CK one is my all time high school fragra...used at least 5 bottles or perhaps more.. and until now still is a very acceptable fresh, young , energetic smell..i might grab a bottle again sometimes hahaha

bwcw81

Well, I can say this is everyONE fragrance! Very versatile, suitable for all day wear! It kind of remind me 90's when almost everyONE of my friend wearing it, when I was still young..

zepiroth_kreationz

CK One reminds me of my high school years... so fresh and so clean. also good for everyday use, doesn't cost you that much.

andy

very heavy on the citrus and kinda synthetic and short lasting i would personally not wear this but its more of a teenscent

missk

What a fantastic, versatile and popular scent. CK One is a fragrance that deserves its massive success.

CK One is fresh, clean and definitely unisex. It's a sweet, citrusy and masculine fragrance, which together create a scent which can suit both men and women.

This fragrance opens with the citruses and fruits, however they are not a sour or strong combination, instead they are subtle and pleasant. While wearing this fragrance you can not help feeling refreshed and clean, almost as if you've just stepped out of the shower.

I rather enjoy CK One's soapy and citrusy scent, which is rare seeming that I usually dislike scents of this nature. I have concluded that it is because this fragrance is light, that I am more drawn to it. Had CK One been overpowering it would have made me nauseous.

MR.ClickClick

Oh this bring back memories of when my sister and I literally shared a bottle when I was in middle school and she was in high school. And yes! that was in the 90's! surprise surprise... It is citrusy but I find it to be a sour/tart kind of citrus now. I do smell high alcohol content in it too. I also notice that very strange note that isnt very appealing that luckily dries out within the first couple of minutes of spraying it. Smelling it now I find it too much on the feminine side. This fragrance isn't going to be discontinued for awhile. Props to CK for keeping it out this long!

SaintLue

I Honestly LOVE This Smell.SOOOO Fresh. I Spray it around my room everyday !

gucci

cK one is very citrusy and clean but i can't say it sucks it's very long lasting but i get sick of it someone it's too heavy

popy80

i got it from my mum who went to saudi arabia. it is very nice, clean, fresh, classy and longlasting scent. i like it

Perfumedsecrets

It's been ruined for me. All I can imagine is this guy who bathed in it that sat next to me on the school bus once. I could not breathe.. and it always reminds me of that time. Clean, fresh and simple. I don't like it on women.

kastehelmi

Why is CK One such a lovely fragrance?
It's simple, clean and fresh, which stands out among the sea of fragrances that could be well-described as heavy oriental woodsy, revised chypre,aldehyde-filled "aquatic", floral fruity with cookie accords, floral detergents and fleeting citrus juices...I like that it smells great on both my boyfriend and I. It's not made to seduce and create a feminine allure, so the initial bergamot burst and any other following masculine touch shouldn't be too bothersome when you consider the sexiness of appearing almost freshly-showered clean....

Russian

It is so popular,an imposed classic scent.Perfect for summer,clean and fresh,matches both sexes!Absolutely great.
A young,active woman or man would definetly apreciate it.
Very citrusy,the first notes are like a strike in the face,but the middle ones are incredibly pleasant.
Though it is fresh and clean,it has it's own manner of making itself noticeable to people and I could smell it on a lot of girls mostly.I didn't have to ask what perfume were they wearing,it was obviously CK One!

TashaRose

This is one of the first perfumes I ever owned, back in seventh grade. A gift from a friend, since I would (almost) never purchase myself a citrus scented perfume (just not my thing; doesn't blend well on me). CK One was no exception to that rule for me. It did smell crisp, and fresh... but it also reminded me of lemon dish soap. It has an underlying chemical smell to me that I just can't shake, and I smelled the same thing on every one of my friends who borrowed a spritz of it. Opinions do change with time and it has been a while, so perhaps I'll order a sample and see if mine have changed at all. But the bottom line from middle and high school for me was that this was over-used, over-glorified, and over-powering.

Aalia

The bergamot opening is loud and pungent, but so fleeting, thus avoiding the fragrance to be exclusively for men. I love all the citrus and green notes, and the mandarin orange and papaya are lively, light additions, gently mellowing the perfume. The lily of the valley is so keen and gives the perfume weight and fullness. The rose is there, but, very quietly working in the background. The amber, sandalwood and musk are prominent in the base and add a touch of luxury to this citrusy fragrance. This is quite a natural feeling fragrance, while never giving up qualities of a good perfume or cologne. I think it can fit well in every season! At the moment, I am imagining wearing it on a cold, dry, crisp winter day, with strong, bright sunshine. I found the sillage is of light to medium strength, and the fixation average to good. I needed to re-apply during the day. I completely forgot how this fragrance smells, until a member sent me a sample vial in a swap and I have used every last drop! I remember testing it when it arrived on the market, but I never used it in the 1990s. If I had a bottle today, it would be in heavy rotation amongst my favorites.

crumbling_images

One of my favorite perfumes in High School!!! It's clean & refreshing. It's perfect for tweens, teens, and young adults.

sky76sky

All-time classic from the androgynous 90's.....a clean & classy gin cocktail. Reminds me of holidays by the sea where a friend & I used to practically wash in it ... happy memories :)

Lily26

Fresh and clean everyday perfume,but i think it is more man than women scent.On my skin smels a bit like shaving cream.

Dreamer81

It smells clean and sweet on me and reminds me a bit Avons - Pure Bianca for women. If I should use just one word to describe it, it would be Innocence. CK One is very strong and long lasting on me - I can smell it after 12 hours. It's unisex but I would recommend it more for females because I feel like a girl when I am wearing it..

tommy_girl

this is all you want if you're a sporty gal or you're an active guy.
all I get at the first sniff is bergamot mixed with some green notes and I really get the pineapple here and it's nice.
the middle notes are well mixed,I can't recognize any specific base,but pineapple is still there.
it's REALLY long lasing,even though it's just EDT.it remains on skin for hours and hours.
as a male fragrance it's ok,but not very unique,maybe a bit lighter,but as a female fragrance,it's great.
I can close my eyes and imagine a young sportive girl wearing this perfume and go to the gym and after 4 hours of exercising still she smells good and sexy.
I think making the other versions of ONE is the prove that it's a real successful perfume.but I should alarm you that wearing it for a long time may make you a bit nervous,as it never leaves you and it's not romantic,floral nor fruity like most of the fragrances you've got.
so wear it and have fun.

falovalo

Probably the cleanest, freshest, most easily recognizable fragrance ever. You just feel like you stepped out of the shower when you wear it. And I feel nostalgic when I wear it, it reminds me of being in the 7th and 8th grade when every girl was wearing this.

Cassiano

I believe that my opinion will not gonna make so much difference, because this is one of the most selled and known perfumes in the entire world. But I cannot be indifferent on it.
Ck One is wonderful! It is addicting! For me, that live in Brazil, the fragrance is perfect! It has a wonderful coolness that it provides a sensation of bath taken for many hours. The lasting is not the best, but it is a kind of perfume that does not attack the others noses.
As personal opinion, I believe that it is the time to modernize the bottle.

Taliera

What is the addiction to this scent? It is one layered. It's supposed to be unisex but smells more masculine to me (a bit like cheap cologne!). Very strong and acrid. You can really smell the alcohol - even 20 minutes after you've sprayed it!

I know it's supposed to be clean and simple, but I find this perfume utterly boring. There are so many more interesting scents on the market - ones that really provoke a response from you, whether it be femininity, airiness, daringness, romance, purity, holiday mood, laid back-ness, seductiveness, jealousy, flirtiness, passion, mysteriousness... But this is not it. Monotone. It is good if you wanna just fit in.

chocorico

smells like teen spirit! fresh and clean! I tried this way back when I was in highschool. It brings back great memories.

jasonx

I think is one is the best, my baby, my favorite. IMO, this is way more masculine than any of the aquatic - acqua di gio type - men fragrances out there.

Wildeparker

God, who DIDN'T have this at school? Though forever reminiscent of teenagers to those of us with 80s birth dates, this is still fundamentally a really clever fragrance. Everyone says "oh it smells of lemons" but it was actually a bit more sophisticated than that! It has an initial fresh punch to it (there be ye citrus fruits!) but the follow-up is deeper, more emotional. I think CK one is a genuinely lovely fragrance whose reputation has been somewhat sold short by its 90s teenager image. It should be a classic but it's currently more of a cliche. It's still a great perfume.

da_markos

on girl it's ok! but on guys it is totaly mistake for me... i wear it once and it made me sick ;/. big "+" for longevity and summer editions

marie08

I think it's more suitable for a man, but a woman could wear it as well. It's no surprise it was so popular, it's a very wearable, light scent. I love it.

Suseken

This one ist great for every day wear.Citric fresh,nice for wearing it in summer.

Cherub573

This fragrance strongly reminds me of junior high, because everyone wore it then. Clean and sweet, but not in a candyish way. It's fresh sweet. I don't think this is very masculine at all. I guess upon initial application it seems to be- but within a half hour, it sweetens dramatically. It almost develops a powdery edge on me. This fragrance is familiar and soothing to me. I love it. I would wear it myself if I already didn't connect the fragrance to so many other people and times.

XoXoL.o.V.e

I think this one is a classic and a total leyend,is very juicy and fresh.:)

succubus

A fresh, crisp scent. Very modern, yet very classic at the same time - a fragrance that could stand the test of time.

Darija_K

This is such a clean, addictive scent. I like it from beginning to the end, even the "weird" green first note. I'd say it's good to wear it at any time of year. Suits best in summer though, cause it's so fresh. Very liberating, youthful scent.

katyas

I don't much care for the fragrance of CK1, at least on me. The citrus notes overwhelm everything else and it smells too masculine on me. Good thing I've only a mini bottle! Even then, it might last me years to get through it, since I don't like to wear it much.

SedNonSatiata

Most "fresh' and "clean" perfumes smell to me like air freshener, shampoo, or cleaning products. Not CK One! To me it is what water would smell like if pure water had a scent. I have a colleague who wears it and I feel happy every time she enters a room. As some others have noted, CK One is at once clean and strong--an unexpected mix. A little goes a long way. The only problem with CK One is that it was so popular everyone had it for a while and I often search for something more unusual. A unique and daring blend in its day, CK One is now a classic that everyone should sample.

woogyjones50

Everyone has described it so well. I will add that I, too, find it to be a very fresh and clean scent. Quite strong, so I am always careful to spray lightly because I think this is one that can be a little too 'loud'. Like some of Calvin's other scents *We're on a first name basis since I've used his perfumes for so long haha*, there is sometimes a bit of artificiality in the topnotes to me. Like Aeternitas, I think that topnote is very odd. But it goes away and what remains is airy and crisp and not like any other perfume. I like it and have worn it for many years especially in the summer.

iTone

I will forever love CK One. It reminds me of being in Middle School back in the late 90's. Awesome fresh smell!

sweetcookie

My brother loves this- have no idea why. cKOne is okay, but nothing to write home about. I laugh when I see it said that this scent is a modern citrus unisex cologne. Well, 4711 has been around for, literally, 200 years, so modern it isn't, and the guys wear it better than the gals do. Speaking of citrus, by the way, if you want THE definitive citrus men's cologne, use Eau Savage. cKOne can't begin to compare.

ticalau

it's great for teens... very fresh and elegant at the same time! It's powerful enough to smell good all day at school ;). I use it on high school, have it from my bro as a gift... The top notes r a bit citru and u can feel the alcohol... but after 10-15 mim. it's great! The base notes r just wonderful... elegant and soft at the same time ;)

Kiwichick_NZ

Not one of my favourites by CK. Too citrusy for my liking. My ph levels don't like this at all and it ends up very bitter after a couple of hours. I have caughts wiffs of this on guys and I think it smells better on them rather than the ladies. Not a unisex scent at all. Us ladies deserve alot better!

Luciana

fragancia unica, que hemos usado junto a mi novio durante años. no es para una ocasion especial, para mi es de uso diario.

Passionflower

I used to love this one, very fresh nice fragrance for every day.

dgoosenberg

I think this is great smelling as a perfume but as a cologne I feel it is a little bit too feminine and sweet.

coco76

I have nothing against CKONE...but whenever i smell it all i can think of is 'highschool'....good times, but still! I guess i'm showing my age a bit :)
for sure fresh and clean and dare i say...preppy?

Aeternitas

I agree it's a fresh and clean scent, but it isn't airy. It's nice and subtle, however it manages to be noticeable at the same time. The only problem is it opens up with an awful, very strange note that I think might be the papaya or some green notes. Thankfully, that nasty note goes away in seconds. I received this in a swap, and I'm trying to figure out if I like it. I don't know if I will wear it often.

guest_Zoe M

It's so fresh, clean. It's very modern. It's perfectly masculine for a boy, and, at the same time perfect for a women or for a girl.

Urban Skies

1990s minimalism at its finest. The epitome of fresh and clean. Good for anyone, anywhere, anytime.
