CK One Summer 2008 Calvin Klein for women and men

I bought this one a few years ago while flying out of Switzerland - they had a handful of duty free items on the plane and this one looked tempting. It was a hot summer so i figured it would be perfect. When i finally got a chance to open it a couple of days later i was pleasantly surprised. I spritzed it on and it was really citrusy, refreshing and remarkably it had good projection and longevity. Nothing special though and very androgynous. The novelty soon wore off and i ended up giving it away. It was my last attempt at smelling tomboyish =p

This was my favorite for years!

Actually i just felt some lily in this frag.

very light ... fresh

bought it a few years ago..it was a bargain. never opened the bottle.just opened it. it is extremely masculine, definitely not unisex-not like others, be or one:(

I bought this fragrance in a duty free before the departure to Barcelona. Hence this CK reminds me of this place. Its name tho' says it is a one time only. I wouldn't buy this again.

Fresh with woody undertones, a more masculine-feeling summer scent, but it doesn't stop me from wearing it! Perfect for the Australian summer - possibly my favourite of the limited edition CK One Summers.

I am in love with this fragrance. I bought it for my boyfriend (I think it's a very masculine rather than unisex smell), for his birthday back in 08, not knowing it was limited edition. He loved it and used it all the time. When I looked it up later and realised it was discontinued and (after disliking the new one for 09) I immediately told him to start using it moderately so it wouldn't run out, because I love it THAT much. There's barely any left but I refuse to let it all disappear, just so I can smell it every now and then.

Calvin Klein is very famous for launching every year, different versions of the traditional cK One summer line. However, the difference is that they change the composition of the fragrance from year to year, not just the bottle design, like some other companies do!

On Ck One Summer 2008, we have a very pleasant smell. The scent begins with a very nice tone that mixes watermelon and cucumber in a way that seems to be taking a nice juice of these two ingredients in a hot day, while sitting in a place surrounded by mint leaves exuding a discreet aroma in the environment.

And so this smell stays on my skin until the end. I did not feel any cardamom as described in the olfactory pyramid.

Longevity was about 5 hours.

I find this scent much more masculine and aggressive than classical CK One so I am wearing it only occasionally. Well, since I have had only this and classical CK One, I can compare only those two, and I can not find anything similar between them except the bottle. Btw, the letters on this bottle are wearing down after few touches, quite poor quality.

Does anyone know where I can find this cologne? I had it, but am all out. The only place I can find it is on Amazon for like 60 bucks, and that was more than the retail price in 2008!, so I'm not going to pay that much for a 2008 frag. So any other places? Thanks

EXTREMELY refreshing cucumber-melon aquatic. Also contains a tangy citrus note (grapefruit?) and some mango-like fruity notes. Has a cool "minty" affect and is great for those hot and muggy summer days.

Lasts a decent time on my skin; 6-7 hours.

This fragrance is wonderful.Can smell the mint and Watermelon, great combination.
My boyfriend loves it and actually wants to take my bottle!
Super fresh, cool, carefree ... you can always expect good versions of Calvin Klein.
I luv it.

a more masculine, wearable version of the 07 one

a good fragrance basic notes are sweet,good longlasting smell 8 to 9 hrs easily.
CK one Summer family always create an impression.

this juice is marvelous, a citrus, iced, fresh fragrance, special for summer. is very yummy, juicy, with its notes of watermelon, mint, cucumber and jasmine. just wonderful, every Ck One Summer creations are just amazing and very original, better that the others Ck One series..

on the bottle it smells really fresh and i could really get a sense of the watermelon. unfortunately, on my skin it smells really floral, and quite feminine for a unisex scent. the bad news is, i am a guy who enjoys smelling fresh and appreciate the "just showered" scent. unfortunately, it does not achieve that at all. it smells too heady and floral on me. and the projection is very floral...like your grandma's cologne.HOWEVER i must say that on my clothes, it smells better. if you want a truly summery scent that isnt too feminine, i suggest you get ck one summer 2009. it is gorgeously citrusy and smells like a mojito (it has notes of rum, citrus, and mint)

I was still quite under the spell of D & G Lite Blue when this came out, so I passed on it. Hind sight is always 20/20 so now I wished I had bought it since I am currently a big fan of woody aquatics and D&GLB is now in a box in my towel cupboard. Cucumber adds a nice watery feel along with the cardamom and watre mint. Watermelon adds to the succulent sweet cleanliness. I will have to be happy with my Puma Create man...

i am so in love with this fragrance. i finished my first bottle n bought two more....love it, love it, love it....i hope they come up with something similar to this that wont be discontinued...ionno wat i'm gonna do wen itz all out..i am very picky wit my perfume...i'm never able to stick to one thing n even finish the whole bottle..but this, OMG...

very fresh and fantastic summer scent. stayng power is amazing. thanks perfumer harry fremont.

I bought it in Hongkong when I was traveling there. This is the second fragrance that I own, it impressed me at the first sniff, it was so fresh and feels like the ocean. It reverted all the negative impressions about perfume in my mind.

From then on I became a perfume lover.

--- Update:

Today I almost use it up, and it's really a fantasitic perfume in summers. I think it can grow better on human's skin than on clothes, because on clothes, the citrus hardly give way to the delicious watermelon. Hmm... a fresh combo of cucumber and watermelon!

not bad, but nothing special, wouldn't recommend and would not buy again

when i smell the scent it leads my soul to the beach...
recommended for those who like summer scent and unisex kind of perfume...

This one is lovely. I like perfumes that are not too feminine and this one is ideal for my taste. I hate to repeat my perfumes so I am in search of a good replacement for this one.

Excelente para cualquier día sandía y menta hacen un abuena combinación

THis is okay. Love the refreshing watermelon and cucumber in the opening but don't care for the drydown. It is very fresh. SO fresh, in fact, that you will smell like you literally just stepped out of the shower. While smelling it I was reminded of a Zest soap my brother uses. So far, I really haven't been a big fan of the CK One Summer editions. They all end up being a wee bit too masculine for my tastes. If you are looking for a good citrus-y/aquatic scent I'd look elsewhere.

its light & so fresh..

I WANT IT SO BAD!

I think it smells a little bit like escada tropical punch ... !

One of the best citrus fragrances I've ever smelled...

Perfect! Love this scent! Reminds me of romantic summer nights in Boracay

although it is a fresh scent i would say it's more for men than women...shameless in my skin smells really bad...in the paper smells really great

one of my favorite scents of all time. smells so fresh and cool. I wear it everyday in the spring and summer but sometimes i'll wear it once in a while in the winter and it just brings back memories of summer.

It starts with an opening of mint and cucumber and then it settles in secondly with watermelon and it is so crisp and fresh and then as it dries down I can detect the woods and cardamom.It is a very unique fragrance that can be worn by both men and women and I really enjoy this scent, not to mention the cool blue fragrance in the bottle it looks like the ocean and it is pretty and I like the fact that it has a cap for the men to splash it on and a sprayer for us ladies to spritz it on and feel cool,fresh and confident knowing we smell good!

I really think this is a scent for GIRLS. No male should wear this.

Watermelon, mint and cucumber! Lovely combination for hot days. And I don't find this fragrance floral at all...

This is my nightmare right here. It opens really fresh and cool, a lot of mint and watermelon. However, when it dry down, it becomes very unbearable, very strong, very floral, very feminine and gives me a headache.
I bought this one before even smelling it because I was a huge fan of CK One so I thought this would be some what similar plus the bottle is so cool.
However this one came with a big disappointment. There was one time I went to the cinema with my friend wearing this, not much though, just 2 spray, 1 on my chest and 1 on my back. The smell became really strong not only me felt uncomfortable but my friend also literally covered her nose when sitting next to me. What a embarrassment!
But I think this is just the fragrance is not suitable for me because I gave it to my mom and it smelled really light and sweet on her.
This one is so weird!

i love the ck one summer collection, its refreshing and cool. im collecting them now starting from the 2005 edition :) i love it....

its me and my guy's perf... for some everyday use... chillin scent and just laid back moment! =] xoxo

it is a very light and fresh scent but it can become a nightmare for a men.
it starts with a lot of mint and cardamom but then becomes very floral, very girly!

Minty, very masculine. Mint, cucumber, wood and aquatics. Nice and summery, but better on husband than me. There's a lot of vetiver in the drydown which tends to masculinize a scent.

this CK fragrance it`s weird..why?because at the begining you feel the cold mint on your skin, very refreshing but afrewards it`s sweety..kinda floral..and masculine it`s nice but not extra i like better the In2U

wow this is my parfume and i love it. fresh and elegance

I love all the CK One Summer fragrances. This year's scent has a nice opening mint note.

A Classic I look forward to every year.

Great scent. I've been selling quite a bit of this lately.

it smells so good, its light and it feels fresh,, i would recomend it
