One of the most successful fragrances from Calvin Klein is CK One, the citrus unisex fragrance from 1994. CK One Shock is a surprise for all the fans of CK One line. It is not an unisex edition, but two separate oriental compositions: CK One Shock For Her and CK One Shock For Him.

CK One Shock For Him is built around aromatic, spicy and deep oriental nuances. It opens with citrusy clementine, fresh cucumber and energy drink accord. The heart of black pepper, black basil and cardamom is placed on the base of masculine tobacco, musk, patchouli and ambrene wood.

Available as 50 and 100 ml EDT, shower gel, deodorant and after shave lotion. CK One Shock For Him was launched in 2011. CK One Shock For Him was created by Ann Gottlieb and IFF.

Este perfume me encanta y en verdad me gustaria comprarlo. Es cierto que sigue la tendencia impuesta por 1 millon y otros perfumes similares como The Secret de A. Banderas, pero esto tiene sus meritos como la persistencia y la gran estela que puede desarrollar. Esto es ideal para el otoño y el invierno. Muy recomendable.

That could be a Tom Ford One. A modernized middle 80's fragrance. Not for so young guys. Except the ones with a retrò view. I usually don't like Calvin Klain's perfumes. But this is a dark, intoxicating and almost gourmand fragrance you can't stop sniff. It begin toffee I sense, and it turns in this fruity pure pipe smoke. Magic.

This is a real unique scent its a perfect mix of sweet meets spicy! I really can pick up on the Clemintine, Patchouli and the Cucumber. I got the 3.4 size at Kohlsfor 50 bucks. I wish this had a matching lotion like my CK One and CK Be do.

I often don't get the reason behind naming of fragrances, but I has thought I could predict what a jet black bottle with bright green splashed Shock on the side would be like.

I was completely wrong, nothing remotely shocking to me. Nice fresh warm and spicy scent with a mature drydown.

A solid choice, and an excellent reminder to never judge a book by the cover

A light, young, alluring, earthy-orange like scent...

I applied 6 heavy sprays..

0 - 30 secs. Not much

30 secs - 2 hours. 1.25 foot projection, sometimes intermittent. This is a very light and subtle aroma, which is alluring and young when it projects. Its projection continues, even when you think its about to fade. I think though you need at least 6 heavy sprays with this one, to get the benefits. Its like a light orange scent - to call it orange cordial or bland would be unfair - and it has an earthy like quality, which removes any bitterness and balances it well and I think it really works. I have smelt this on 2 occasions in public and it has had me chasing it- can't believe the bottle and name for this, nothing "shock" here, its more alluring and aromatic than rude! The projected smell is sexy and young - ages 16 - 27 though more maturer when you smell the skin - ages 27 - 38.

2 hours - 4.5 hours - 4 inch projection. Occasionally more. Like it, very moorish to me

4.5 hours - 6 hours - 1 inch projection. Becomes smoky

Like it! young, distinctive if spray enough. However some may find booring after a while, so maybe get the 20ml EDT travel spray which online is £11, before buying a big bottle.

Good

Familiarity with too many trivial perfumes have probably brought, as a result, an increase in our level of tolerance. In front of a barely pesentable fragrance, we're all ready to declair it a winner. In this context, Shock is not as outrageously bad as most of the Calvin's Klein's latest releases but it's still widely far from being attention worthy. In an ideal world where fragrance should simply smell good, this would be just a non-descrypt concoction of aromachemicals aimed to smell of something.

In the real world, this is just a non-descrypt concoction of aromachemicals aimed to smell of something. Ok, It's not sporty, it doesn't come in a frosted bottle and it's probably the best fragrance by Calvin Klein in years but it's not enough. Clearly targeted to younger crowds but I don't see why teenagers should burn their money in such a crap. Seal your wallets. Dreadful bottle.

I LOVE this! I tried it out on myself and it smelled gorgeoulsly spicy, warm, not overly sweet and still fresh. I also tried it on my brother and it smells nice on him too! This is a really sexy fragrance, and I could imagine myself to get attracted to someone who wears it just because of this perfume. Go easy on the application though, it might get too heavy otherwise.

My BF got these like a month ago and when he first started wearing it, I actually thought he smelled really really weird.. He smelled like pepper and had this weird bitter-sweet smell that gave me huge headache and made me squint my face when he was hugging me.. I was just like "WTF is he wearing??"
I'm glad he stopped wearing this.. :(

I don't get the appeal of this fragrance, it is generic, dirty and sickening sweet (not in a good "delicious" way). Surprisingly, it lasts on me which is a bit sad because I could had added it in the list of "negative" things about this fragrance. Overall, I much prefer the female version (which is brighter and a bit more likable to me)

did a blind buy of this based on a few things i'd read. overall, it's not too bad. of the fragrances i've sampled (which are admittedly limited), i think this comes off somewhere closest to a sweeter, (initially) fresher, less mango/woody/spicy version of polo double black (which is to say only a little bit like polo black, i guess). i definitely do not smell any similarity bewtween this and a*men pure havane. i own both and find pure havane to be a much sweeter, honey/tobacco-imbued fragrance while to my nose, this is comparably fresher, more floral, and amber-based.

initially, i could detect the hints of clementine, cucumber, and pepper, along with a herbal or floral hint (lavender, i'd say) and the patchouli base. it's more of a sharper, tangy, fresh scent with an underlying spice, almost akin to a body wash. as it dries down, the aroma softens out into the patchouli, amber, and musk base. i can detect a woodsy element and an undertone of tobacco. it's almost reminiscent of some of the head shops i visited in college (not overly so, but somewhat).

i don't get a huge projection, but it's not invisible. that's sort of how i prefer it - smell good up close but not overpowering or filling up the whole room. i think on my body, this smells rather pleasant and soft, although i prefer polo double black. on my clothes, it smells a little brighter and fresher, not in a bad way at all. there's a sweetness to it, for sure, but nothing too unbearable. longevity on me was about 3-4 hours from initial application until negligible detection - a little on the short side.

this will fit in my wardrobe somewhere, likely as a good casual fragrance for either a day at work or a night out with friends. it doesn't seem like anything special, but that wasn't really what i was expecting. overall, i'd give this a 6.5/10: good but not great aroma, low/medium projection, low/medium longevity, low/medium price.

Not nearly as strong, potent or choking as i expected. Sweet oriental floral, sweet wood. Faintly of citrus(clementine peel?) faintly of chocolate, with an oily character.
Quite fresh actually, i don't sense much Cucumber nor tobacco here. It has a vaguely shampoo like quality, like there's more fruits. Very synthetic, and "urban". I think that's the "Energy Drink" accord. It does have that Vitamin-B syrupy, almost fruity marshmallow vibe to it. I'm quite fond of Energy Drinks.
All these notes blend very well, they're VERY well rounded and balanced, where nothing really sticks out.
This is closer to unisex for me, like a lotion. Or... green Apple?(maybe cuz i'm looking at the Green package lettering)
Pleasant, good value, it's a good crowd pleaser. This goes in my outgoing, clean fragrances.

*Update: oh my, once the Energy Drink vibe fades, NOW it smells like Tobacco. But not refined, more like sniffing a fresh pack of cigarettes.

Sillage: modest
Longevity: pretty decent

CK One Shock is a very sweet and warm fragrance that resembles to milk chocolate with some spices added, the lavender note gives the fragrance a strange boozy smell. For me Ck One Shock gives the impression that it's trying to hard to impress and ends up turning into a funky weird fragrance. If you like sweet fragrances such as CK One Shock i'd recommend you to try Rochas Men and Ultrared Men by Paco Rabanne.

This is spicy,ambry and woody smell.
Opens with clementine and lavender, than comes her spicy warm and dark heart which icludes cardamom, pepper and basil after becomes strong and dark bitter - sweet aroma.
Drydown includes ambry tobacco tonality.
Provocative and exclusive, for younger man.
A little strong and obviously shocking.

A fragrance that justifies its name, CK One Shock is loud, aggressive, and intensely synthetic. Shock revels in its fashionably unsophisticated identity, finding a place among the plethora of copy cat sensationalist Ed Hardyesque casual white trash glam fashion products that make no bones about it. Perfect for the 25 and under crowd looking for something for the sheer sake of being noticed rather than any search for refinement, Shock defines a time and place where loud, raunchy and clashing merge perfectly and best capture the Jersey Shore era so well received by the masses.
From the onset, Shock wears heavy and pulsates with synthetic loudness. The lavender and clementine crash and clash on ignition, quickly slamming into the middle without any progression or refined layering. In an instant a mess of synthetic spices are thrown into a salad bowl together and never achieve any balance on the skin. After 15-20 minutes the tobacco and patchouli assert their dominance and CK One Shock becomes a hearty tobacco, spice and herbal concoction that is not very attractive nor very interesting after 2-3 applications.
The whole affair is rather cheap and synthetic, with little to say for itself beyond far too grand of pretensions. Longevity is solid at around 6-8 hours with 10 not out of the question and projection quite powerful for a modern scent. The question to ask is who self willingly wants to smell so out of balance and so unrefined if given the choice?
This is one that serves the sheer purpose of shock with little substance behind it, much like a highly rehearsed Lady Gaga stunt at another awards ceremony taken with such obvious premeditation and foresight. CK One Shock is Calvin Klein trying to still be relevant and fresh and in so doing only showing the gulf between him and the general public today, at the sacrifice of craftsmanship and class.
CK One Shock is not for people who have the ability to find art in fragrance. This is simply a clubbing and night out fragrance implying a certain desperation to be noticed and should be applied rather conservatively and enjoyed by those young enough to appreciate such lack of sophistication with sheer enjoyment. Still, it captures the era of reality show vacuity and brashness better than anything else released the last two years.

Smells more like chocolate than shocolate..
It is actually a nice, quite wearable fragrance and affordable for those looking for something practical..
Imo more like Kocorico than La Nuit EDP which I have..
I've worn the testers for two days and it is a 7/10 or even 8/10 due to good longevity and affordable price..

Love this fragrance Recieved a sample of it before Christmas and I am hooked. It comes close to smelling like a woman's cologne while still being a mans cologne. It is richer than what I would normally wear so I think that it is prefect for the fall and winter when it is getting cooler out maybe even during the cooler parts of spring but anything after that and I think that I would start to get sick of it. Truly one of the greats and I hope that they make this for a very long time.

Just got this one today and I must say that CK One Shock for him definitely lives up to its name...SHOCKINGLY AWESOME. This frag is curiously intricate and love the dark notes on it during drydowm: tobacco, musk and amber. I was a bit skeptical with this flanker but glad I now own it. Seems great for colder days and nights and love the juxtaposition of sweetness and smokiness. On first spray, the frag tends to be very citrusy with tangerine notes and then the true beauty of it is revealed: smoky tobacco, lavender and oriental spices. I'll be rocking this frag for sure.

Longevity 7/10
Sillage 7/10
Scent 9/10

UPDATE: Some people have told me it reminded them of CK Obsession...any takes on that?

Curiously complex in scope, this spicy oriental flanker is a noteworthy addition to Klein's otherwise-drab lineup. It opens with a bright pepper and patchouli, made astringent by an herbal lavender. The composition is softened and sweetened by the arrival of warm cardamom and pipe tobacco. Eventually these well-defined herbs and spices are conjoined, and a little blurred, by a well-rendered vanilla, and an odd minty citrus note (possibly the usage of osmanthus with clementine or tangerine) keeps everything from becoming overly steeped. Quite possibly their finest fragrance to date, and much better than the original. A CK scent that smells good? Shocking!

This one got nothing similar to the original CK One, in facts, it is the opposite of it. It is very powderish, potent and very very strong, definitely a nite/ winter frag to warm you out, I can't imagine wearing this during a hot sunny day!

It open wt massive potent dirty citrus cent, it blinded my nose for a while after sniffing it, so don't expected anything fresh citrus here. Minutes later, I can detect tobacco and complex hot & spicy herbs scent, again, it is still very potent at this stage and people around me keep asking what am I wearing in the middle of a hot sunny day! Finally, a peaceful calm mild musky patchouli with hints of woodsy notes take place and I it a lot, calm and peace finally.

Overall, it last more than 4 hours with massive silage on me, people around me tends to feel annoy more than enjoy it, I can't imagine if I have spray more than 1 time wt this! I really don't get what this one got to do wt CK One series.... it remind me CK Obsession Men mixed wt Euphoria Intense Men in a heavy doze! Do try this before you decide to buy, specially when people are expecting this one in line wt CK One series, else get ready to being "SHOCK" like I do!

p.s. My friends told me this one really a "SHOCK & CHOKE" factor for them! lol

This reminds me of EA night.even the vinyl like bottle is similar.Emporio armani night is all i smell in the drydown.CK Shock lacks the sparkling opening that night had.still a nice and inviting aroma.targeted towards teenagers.i can also smell traces of euphoria in it.short lived-close to the skin.another unnecessary copycat.

This reminds me of Cuba Libre made with spiced rum and Mezzo Mix. In the middle of a low lit bar in the Caribbean or Summer, while the smoke from Cohiba Esquisitos adds pungent yet crisp smell of tobacco. People are playing pool and Dominos. Someone slams his last Domino on a brand new table, yelling "Capicua!" and winning the game. Oh man this wonderful. Reminds me of weekend parties when I'm in the Caribbean. Hot, sticky, sensual, wild and yet civil. I can see a man wearing this, but honestly I just find it too "feminine" for one. The orange and patchouli here are quite sweet. The tobacco, cardamom, pepper and wood add some intense sexiness, but not at all vulgar. The cucumber is not prominent here but it is present if you focus hard enough. I think it is there to harmonize and soften the lavender and patchouli. It lasts a long time and I can't stop smelling myself. I've been complimented nonstop since I've gotten it. Overall, it reminds me of well made bourbon, the smell is intoxicating...smoky and sweet.

Agreeing with brettyboy, this should have been released as its own namesake. It is worthy of it. This is one of the most interesting and wonderful ¨commercial¨ perfumes I've smelled of late.

After the forgetable CKIn2U series, this new flanker of Ck One grabed my attention today and I must admit this is very good: sweet citruses with a touch of lavender and some pepper hits you right from the beginning.
What follows in the next 2-3 hrs is an oriental spicy accord, very nice in fact, with patchouli, tobacco and little basil stated here, still fruity-spicy in background.
Drydown is woody-ambery, completing the whole in a sweet and pleasant way. A nice surprise and a certain future buying to take into consideration. My rank 8.7/10

Poor sillage, also the smell of top note gives me kind of headache. x.x but the base note is good. Slightly amber-musky, soft and warm. And those notes especially tabacco and lavender make it look like an oldie fragrance.To those who may concern, I can ensure you this is not an old-fashioned perfume at all.

I found pepper, patchouli, amber are very standing out notes of this perfume. And know what, those are very main notes of YSL pour homme nuit. If anyone have YSL nuit and this one, try and compare. Indeed, a cheaper version of YSL nuit. Very worth buying if you don't have YSL nuit.

I tested this with such excitement, and was dissapointed the moment it came in contact with my skin. It has so many notes, yet all i could smell was tobacco. And it stayed that way for atleast 2hours. I certainly don't mind tobacco in perfumes, but not when that's the only note you smell. The same with Boss Orange, which doesn't even have tobacco notes!

I wanted to buy CK One Shock quite badly. Now Im not so sure anymore.

It's not anything like cK One, but it's still an attractive masculine that bucks with the current trends but still smells awesome.

cK One Shock for Him is sweet, fun fougere that focuses on the apple pie smell of cardamom, with a fizzy "soda" accord and some tobacco in the drydown. As with many fragrances of this type (Paco XS, YSL L'Homme), things can go downhill easily, but it never does with cK One Shock. It stays smooth yet delightful the whole way through, and never gets too sweet. It also lasts a really long time. This is a great modern fragrance, especially for young people like myself (I'm 18).

Guys, try it! I really like this stuff, and I plan on purchasing a full bottle in the near future.

This fragrance is really simple. There is almost no transition of notes can be defined as a masculine fragrance and vintage style. Really dominates the patchouli and pepper-like odor.

Simple and masculine, nothing like it in the line of Calvin Klein. This is not an elegant fragrance, and is quite young. Fit better with the style of torn jeans. Really minimalist, perfect for parties of young people. Still far from their original CK One, in terms of quality and impact.

Recommended for hot climates and jeans.

Why CK?
Mature and unlikely from CK range of perfumes, but Why to make such a nice perfume with very poor sillage and projection?!
However longevity is pretty good for EDT perfume, around 5 hours on my skin.. So if you want to enjoy alone with your perfume ‘’ anonymously’’.. Go for CK SHOCK FOR HIM, because no one else will smell it on you!!

For me this one is closer to Fahrenheit Absolute, though I can't deny that Shock is done in the same direction as sweet oriental spicy Bvlgari Black, La Nuit de L'homme etc. What I feel is a woody incense base with a Fahrenheit-y floral accord and a beautiful fruity note in the background. This could be sounded crazy but ambery dry down reminds me of Dior's exclusive Amber Nuit!
Ck One Shock is quite good for its conception and price, it has decent sillage and average longevity. Nothing new, however worth trying.

Personally, I hated CK One when it came out. I distinctly remember encountering it for the first time at Tower Records in Boston, and shortly thereafter it was omnipresent - everyone seemed to be wearing it, and far too much of it. It was too sweet, fresh, bland, inoffensive (a trait I hate sometimes) and non-challenging. So right then and there, I wrote off anything ever produced by Calvin Klein with the CK moniker. I mean hell, this was the company that put out Obsession - a monster of a scent! WTF was this wimpy unisex pablum?

Skip ahead a couple of decades and I'm at a Perfumania store buying some old formula Opium EDT (WITH oakmoss and isoeugenol - ahh!) when the SA tries to interest me this stuff. I immediately said, "No - I don't like the CK line - they're too generic and boring." But, she spritzes the blotter anyway and hands it to me.

It initially smelled rather basic and bland, but then as I wandered around looking for something else to catch my eye, it slowly changed. That fresh, common woody-amber I've come to loathe was mutating into something vaguely oriental. Then I noticed that it was actually becoming something warm and nice - patchouli, ambroxan, tobacco, pepper - huh? What? I was actually liking this - shocking.

Not that this juice would be a statement maker or signature scent, but this was something that I could easily wear to work or with mixed company without fear of offending (Black Aoud and Yatagan - I'm looking at you two) or being too fresh, generic and aquatic OR bakery, chocolatey, gourmand sticky-bun either. This seems to cross the line between being something that both novice noses and jaded collectors could both enjoy. Again - shocking :)

So I bought it - yes, I now own a CK(x) frag - and I can't believe it, but I'm looking forward to wearing it tomorrow to the office :) Hope to hear some good feedback. Cheers!

I tried it in a shop, but it was very smelly like cheap incense and got me a headache, the femminine edition is much better...

Sniffing SHOCK was actually a totally unexpected pleasant surprise. This surprisingly gorgeous juice deserved a bottle all of it's own. Relegating it to flankerdom was a mistake and quite unfortunate as it will now probably just get largely ignored by most. Especially by those expecting some of the original "DNA" of CK ONE to be present. Which it is not. Not at all ! And that turns out to actually be a good thing. In fact I almost ignored Shock completely because of exactly this reason. So glad something drew me to it after all. ...
Coz no, this is a lovely "gourmandy/resiny/ambery" wooded Oriental marvel that I just can't seem to get enough of. It just smells good !
I don't actually get any Citrus and thankfully zero Cucumber. No Cardamom, no Basil not really. In fact the notes are so incredibly well blended and integrated that I can't make out any individual notes at all. (Something I don't usually have a problem with). It's just blended seamlessly into this smooth delicious smelling stuff. The so called "Energy Drink Accord" actually smells more like a "bubblegummy-woods" scent mixed with a touch of sweet pipe tobacco. With a lovely gentle purring musk towards the end. The musk is a pretty tenacious non-dirty, lightly tobaccoed "gourmand-like" musk which is totally addictive.
All in all it certainly gets a full on double thumbs-up from me !
In fact the only SHOCK is that this flanker is as good as it is. (Can you tell I'm smitten ?? ;o) ~ Best CK flanker in years IMO !

It's unfortunate however that the female version "Shock for Her" isn't anywhere near as good. Totally generic, forgettable and with little charm. Still, I'm sure strawberry & choc' yoghurt lovers will get a kick out of it.

The saleslady said it had redbull in it.
Interesting idea, but I picked up on a fruity sweetness that settled on woods and a resin note for body. It's a pretty odd fragrance for ck to bring out.

Shock with a hint of Obsession and no relation to One collection! Though the bottle is so charming, the scent is out of One line; it's warm, resinous and darkly bitter-sweet. It's modern, youthful, a little formal, heavy and serious just unlike One series!
Not a bad perfume for itself but not in that bottle and name. By the way, it doesn't shock me, and i didn't get anything shocking!
It lasts good but close to skin and loses projection in early minutes.

I tested this fragrance a few days ago, and I have to say that it is a surprising fragrance from Calvin Klein it is shockingly good. It is sweet, oriental, gourmand, woodsy, fresh yet clean. A good alternative for those who hate 1milion by Paco Rabanne. It has really good projection and lasting power. I think this will be my new autumn fragrance.
Overal: 4.5/5

I just tried it today as well. At first I thought it was a very interesting, "shock"ing smell. But now - 2 hours later - it smells almost exactly like Opium to me.

Does anyone else also finds that the dry down of this smells a lot like Opium?

Just tried this one today at Belk. I only smelled the opening on a card (and some that dribbled on my fingers), but I get a really strong patchouli note at the top of this. I haven't smelled the drydown, but the top is reminiscent of A- Men's tar and patchouli overload. It's certainly much heavier and more masculine than any other CK One flanker. Kinda seems odd that it's tied to the CK One line, as I see no similarities at all. But if you like A Men at all, this might be one to check out.

I finally smelled this today & at first I thought it was a little bit strong but as it wore down I fell in love with it. It has been nearly four hours & it smells amazing! It reminds me of smores and vanilla.

I'm very disappointed about this fragrance that reminds me a lot of other similar fragrances. Morever I don't smell the base of the original CK One at all in it. Too sharp, too spicy, too "cheap".

I actually like this. It starts out kind of busy, and I never have smelled the energy drink accord, but after it settles down it's pretty nice. Good longevity too.

my boyfriend has been begging me to smell this because he claims to love it. I am soon going to smell it and see if it is as amazing as he states. I will of course smell the Ck one shock for woman because it isn't always about the men(:

Ha ha ha to the reviewer that thought this stuff smelled like a urine sample! You must have some awfully good smelling urine :). Actually, this is the best thing Calvin has produced for men since . . . CK1! Definitely oriental, spicy, smokey, and sweet -- but not too much so. Really good scent with above-average longevity. PLUS . . . if you don't want to go all in for a bottle, you can buy a can of the deodorant body spray for $15 and give it a whirl. Good stuff, and worth trying!

This has nothing to do with CK One line. CK One Shock smells weird to me. Tobacco and screaming patchouli and basil give me a weird herbal bitter sweetness which later mixes with something oriental. I get the sharpness from Red Bull but it's very inconsistent. I really can't see myself wear this. It's just not fresh like typical CK One at all! What an odd one and definitely nothing spicy about it. Sorry! I have to remove it from my Want List. :(

Ck Be falls for the trend of being oriental spicy-gourmand.. Though it could be another one in the pile of that genre, there is something slightly dark that, in a sense, saves it from being totally crap. But still...

I have had a few times when I have had really low expectations for a fragrance only to be pleasantly surprised....apart from Gucci guilty which I assumed would be shit and was shit.
Saw this on the shelf,sprayed it and was taken aback by the delicious gourmand scent. My only question being: why did Calvin Klein release this as a flanker for a tired line when this would have been a new best seller in a different bottle.
