CK be Calvin Klein for women and men

Ck be good stuff its a really light scent i remember this from H.S. my older brother used to wear this and ck one I always liked this scent my sis other chics i know really like it as well only problem is it fades away in a 3really to 4the hours other than that its a nice scent to sport casually look online and get it for a good price

This stuff is terrible. Smells chemical and very synthetic. Starts off very sharp and doesn't quit. Just awful.

It is nice, but quite soft. Soft sillage, and moderate longevity. I am sorry but I don't smell that much lavender in here, more like bergamot and peach with a touch of lavender.

Is there a stronger fragrance that is similar to this? I want to know.

Esta es mi fragancia personal preferida!! deliciosa, fresca, limpia y conquistante!! lo digo por experiencia!!

9/10 para CK

I have to respect this classic , but I do not have to like it. I don't get it..? suppose to be like a dryer sheet smell?? Gave it to Lil bro bro

Not a huge fan of ck line. Most have very poor projection and staying power

It's a quiet scent. Subtle. It stays on my skin for a while and I appreciate that. My favorite from the CK line. It's nice for spring, summer, fall. The opening: I get spice with woods and someting sweet. It's very inviting. It doesnt project much, so it is cozzy. Unisex indeed. Try it.

I like CK Be. It's an inoffensive, unisex scent that invariably pleases the masses.

Initially, I get a cocktail of freshly cut unripe peach and crushed mint leaves suspended in iced sparkling soda water, with a splash of gin. Fizzy, refreshingly cool, slightly astringent.

On dry down, I detect a welcome smidge of sandalwood and vanilla to complicate the fragrance. However, before they fully develop, the glow is completely drowned out by the powerhouse floral; lavender. Simultaneously calming and evocative of pre-vacuum carpet powder.

The warmth I look for in a 'fume is notably absent. CK Be is fresh, crisp lavender, and ultimately sterile.

Overall, very clean and confident, a friend said "smells like how you feel in a suit." Also reminds me of black ice air freshener trees for your car, but with less oompf. Smells great, longevity 3 hours, sillage < 1 ft after an hour on my skin.

very good for hot days refreshing and cool

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy this scent? I've just bought a backup bottle! It's light enough not to offend anyone's nose, yet the person wearing it can still smell it. It can be used at any age, in any season, and at any time of day. On me, it lasts for about six hours. It's sweet, but not cloying... clean, and it also has a certain darkness to it.

Another classic. Black brother of Ck One. Is it better? Do not ... A little bit different. More musky, a little soap, but not in the style of Prada detergent and soft floral notes. For me, it's perfect.
I must admit that in recent times assume a very keen on each other, both One and Be. It smells of the days when Calvin Klein did a really great scents, and the two mentioned by me, are like the flagship show of the brand.
Well, CK Be doesn’t last long (for me about 5-7 hours, sometimes 8), but the flavor...
I feel clean, elegant and very comfortable
CK Be is simple and beautiful.
As an icon of good old C. Klein fragrances.

This is ok. I chose this because one of very few fragrances my husband gives his "approval" of is, of all things, Moonlight Path from Bath and Body Works. I sought this one out because it has a lot of similar notes to MPath. This smells a lot more like alcohol and does not last at all. I think it is my chemistry, because I can see this smelling wonderful on a guy.

One of CK's best releases. Very nice scent that most people will like, but also very unique. It has a very strong Magnolia smell paired with assorted dark fruits and white musk. Great fragrance to wear at night as it smells pretty dark. They need to bump up the longevity on it though. It has the worst longevity out of all of my fragrances. It's like spraying febreeze on your skin.

This cologne smells just as good on a male as it does on a female. In fact, my 2 1/2 year old daughter LOVES IT...and it is the only cologne/perfume she begs to squirt on (easy spray top that produces a fine mist!) This is a very clean and sophisticated yet floral aroma....and I over emphasize CLEAN. I can spot someone wearing this a mile away....and the dry down trail is AMAZING. I will ALWAYS have a 6.7 oz. bottle on hand. To be honest, when I smell this on another woman, I get aroused. I've been a huge fan of CK Be for the past fifteen years!!!!
I don't find any comparison between CK One and CK Be.

I've bought the body lotion to match this fragrance, but I must say it doesn't smell nearly as good as the juice. I've yet to try layering them, and hope the combination of the two will be pleasant.

Edit: Layering the lotion and the fragrance was OK, but I don't think I'll buy the lotion again. I'd recommend thinking twice before buying the lotion, as it's a bit sour-smelling and headache-inducing. The juice alone is good enough. One can always invest in a bigger bottle.

The Mechanic garage I used to work at had a customer that came in every week or so to get his car repaired and along came this smell on his jacket. He used it on his jacket so many times that the smell when it settles on to your skin after an hour or two is just amazing and calm. I bought a 200ml(6.7 FL OZ) 3 years ago for £20 and that smell was the reason I bought it. at first this seems like its more stronger than it should be but after and hour or two it really settles into your skin and its true face comes alive, Only down side is that its not the type of scent to get noticed from a arm length, you have to be like 10cm from his face to smell it. If you can find it for cheaper I would say get it but don't pay full price for it.

CkBe and CkOne are fragrances for Close Contact (preferably in summer). low projection, slight, cushy. Very nice !!!

I must say this is so aromatic, fresh and pleasantly long lasting. I like the floral notes especially Lavender. Not powdery, not feminine but has a charm of flowers balanced with the masculine notes. I am so happy that I have bought it.

I strongly believe this has been reformulated. I had this when it was first released and I used to wear it a lot. I remember sandalwood being one of the most apparent notes. I sampled it again recently and I cannot notice any sandalwood. All I get is green notes and some very subtle floral notes.

I wore this a ton in high school, one day all I could smell was dirty bread. Does anyone else get this smell? I haven't been able to stand this cologne ever since

I bought Ck Be blindly based on reviews; I loved the concept of this fragrance but.... I was a bit disappointed. It turned out to be too dry to my taste. So I put it aside for awhile untill one day it occured to me to mix it with Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea. Wow! The mix smells exactly what I first thought Ck Be was gonna smell like: grassy freshness of Green Tea perfectly compliments musky notes in Ck Be and adds just a touch of sweetness to make Ck Be a tad more feminine. Perfect for hot and humid Summer days.

1 of my Favorited at all time!.

This is good powdery woody cologne for Winter season. This is suitable with suit & casual wear.

Of this depressing fougere, Luca Turin wrote: "Though less radiant, [CK Be] perfectly hits the spot for those who want a fragrance not just to evoke a faded memory, but to smell like one."

I agree, if that faded memory is of being dumped and humiliated after your senior prom, just when you thought two hours of slow dancing and a shared bottle of Leroux would pay off.

Alright, I've really changed my mind about this fragrance. The first time I tried it I didn't like it... I guess there must have been something wrong with my nose, because I've been wearing it for a couple of weeks now, and I love it! I particularly like the mint and musk notes. It's fresh and smells very clean. It has soft to moderate sillage, which is fine with me, as I don't like to give other people headaches on account of my perfume. A great unisex fragrance. It lasts about 6-7 hours on my skin, but longer on clothes.

I have noticed a serious amount of negativity towards Calvin Klein scents on here and on Basenotes. I'm sorry to say I just don't get it at all. I am a big fan of most of the CK fragrances for men, and it seems that what I like about them is what a lot of people have a problem with:
I like the fact that they are pretty subtle and 'safe' - although the words I would use are pleasant and reliable. It seems that a lot of people out there treat their fragrance choice as some sort of solo performance art piece. The words 'bold' ‘challenging’ and 'daring' are not really suitable things to go for if you are a professional who works in an open-plan office. We can't all flounce about smelling like the creative director of an avant garde theatre troupe and expect to be taken seriously by colleagues and clients in a professional communal space. In addition it's not really a very considerate way to behave if you find yourself sharing elevators.
Despite what the marketing industry would have you believe, fragrances aren’t going to make you appear significantly wealthier, sexier, or more interesting. You have to work on those sorts of things rather than buy them in bottles.
There is a reason that CK fragrances sell so well despite all of the niche snobbishness launched their way: Most people like them. To counter the argument “Who wants to smell like everyone else?” I would say: Who doesn’t want to smell good to everyone else?
For me CK Be is the best of them all. It is light and fresh with a few nuances that make it stand out, and absolutely no odd twists. I'd happily smell like this for years. It works at any time of year, in any climate, formal or casual, night or day.

You simply cannot go wrong with this for everyday use. Very pleasant. Much better than CK One in my opinion. Price is too good to be true:D

Definitely my favorite Calvin Klein fragrance. Euphoria Intense comes close, but this one beats it. It is so unique and so interesting smelling. It is very relaxed as well, and I would recommend wearing it at night. It starts off with a distinct Magnolia note, which is paired with Lavendar and Juniper Berry. The magnolia stays through out the whole fragrance, and the White Musk starts pushing all the other notes aside. As the dry down hits, I get hints of things behind the white musk. I definitely get the peach, tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood. I also get a distinct pear note, it's definitely there, although not listed in the note breakdown. It really is truly unisex too. I could see either gender wearing this and would love to smell this one on a girl as well. It also makes a great room spray or bed sheet spray. It smells amazing. The longevity confuses me. If I keep smelling it on my skin it goes away, and I soon can't smell anything. But then later in the day it pops back up and I smell it again. It lasts about 6 hours on me, but never projects. It's definitely a seductive type skin scent. But a very good one. I'll take one point off for the projection. 9/10.

una fraganza per tutte le occasioni non importanti....molto giovanile...

Okay, cKbe is all about peach, lavender and leather scents.
A fragrance for almost any occasion. Safe, clean and inoffensive scent.

I am a woman but I used CK be also, feel for unisex and very clean,dry-down , cooling and very refreshing for me. Still be thinking to buy the second bottle but I dont find out from the shop, they have lots of CK one but not for B. T_T

Wore this ten years ago and it definitely smells of 90s early 2000s. Soft sandalwood, light and fresh. The lavender sticks around with a mildly medicinal note. I was complimented in it by an older gallery director which was nice. I see it as a genuine unisex - a lot of unisex aromas work well on me as wood sweetens up whereas white flowers like lily often smell a bit too clean soapy and harsh

I think this has dated a bit though it's quite nice

i tried today and it smells like washed clothes (good smell with detergent),but nice smell.i smell it and 2-3 mnts later do it again.. but plenty of cleaner firms use this smell.therefore it s not special.

at first i bought an essence,a copy of this perfume. clean, cooling, and very refreshing, something i can wear everyday with confident.. after finished 2 bottle of that, i decided to buy original one, thinking the ori mut be more interesting..but i found that its not as good as the copy i had..agree for its transparent and silky, but its lighter, powdery and just a strictly clean + goodlooking guy can wear...more of the base note- vanilla can just make me drown into this...

very clean, fresh, and safe

A good one this, very unique and definitely unisex - floral, woody musk is a perfect description. Can't understand the comments about it not lasting long - it lasts all day on me and has amazing sillage. This has more character than CK One. Reminds me, a little, of Rive Gauche Light for men. Yes it's a very nice scent.

I own CK Be, and bought it because it was pleasant and also comparatively cheap pricewise for the amount.

CK Be is actually fairly similar to CK One, in my opinion. They're both more subtle in terms of the strength of the scent, and the smell is slightly more on the masculine side of the spectrum. CK Be has a common feel to it, in that it is not necessarily all that unique. I don't pick up the sandalwood bottom notes at all when I wear it; in fact, I don't smell anything nature-inspired at all.

The scent doesn't last more than maybe 3-4 hours, and though it is a pleasant, unisex smell, it's neither strong nor necessarily memorable as a scent. I'm guessing that's why it's not very pricey.

Overall, it's not bad, but not something that people will likely remember or notice.

I really like this one, but I think the work is not complete. I would like it to have another note in the heart, a big one, and I like to imagine which one. Some of the notes I've thought of are: hazelnut, coffee, cinnamon, heliotrope, coconut... If I find a way to prove the theory, I'll come back to share the results. Be is very nice, versatile and well balanced, but -just my opinion- boring.
***
En verdad me agrada esta, pero creo que el trabajo está incompleto. Me gustaría que tuviera otra nota en el corazón, una grande y me gusta imaginar cuál sería. Algunas en las que he pensado son: avellana, café, canela, heliotropo y coco... si encuentro la manera de probar esta teoría, volveré para compartir los resultados. Be es muy agradable, versátil y bien balanceada, pero -sólo mi opinión- aburrida.

My hobby use this frag and all i have to say....LOVE IT!!! Soft and sexy... velvety.

nice smell! 8/10

Smells like cleaning chemicals. Really don't get this 1.

Light, soapy and floral. It works as a day and night cologne. I like it in the summer especially. Very clean feeling and oozes memories of years gone by. CK be like the iconic CK one for me is a great every day choice and for the price you can't go wrong. Also my wife can borrow it so it's a win win....or is that a win/lose?

I first smelled this on a co-worker and thought it was a very nice light scent. Just what I was looking for!

That was around christmas time, and I decided to give it to my mom as gift, so that I could borrow her bottle whenever I wanted.

Thankfully, my mom loved it. As for me, I was glad I bought it for her instead of myself. I don't what it is, as this is a very light, inoffensive scent, but there is a note in it that really bothers me and I just can't wear it.

It's a nice and casual floral musky scent though that I think is rather feminine than unisex.

I wear this at night it's very light smell so it works good at night for me!

Projection is good and perfume lasts 4-5 hours.
According to me it can be used in all situations but your looks should be near to casual. In strict professional appearance this perfume will be a contradiction.
At Mid this perfume got a very unique Smokey + woody note.
Base note is woody and I felt bit of mint and citric in base note as well.

Reasons to have will be 1> Smokiness 2> good projection (don’t go on dance floor by relying longevity, because of sweet projection will be reduced) 3> all-round use
In my opinion investing in this perfume is not a bad idea. It is a, good if you have, perfume.

1st time when i smelled this, i love it on me,
2nd time i addict it
3rd time, i don't want it on me but... i want it on another guy....
i'd hug the guy who wears this to smell it then leave...

for me, it's for smell on another person ^^...but i love it

This fragrance lasted a mere 4 hours on me, but it's an all-round, all-day scent. Simply unisex and flexible, non-offensive and subtle...a great light fougere.

Great for a walk around town or a casual day out. You can hardly go wrong with this.

I agree with the review below.. EXTREMELY UNDERRATED FRAGRANCE!

This starts off so fresh and green, which I can appreciate; it's the sort of smell I'm usually drawn to. But then it dries down on the skin and warms to this enigmatic amber that retains its initial opening, but reveals a much more complex bouquet. While it reminds me of Prada Ambree, it's so much better. I usually go for the really high-end fragrances, but this is the only low-to-mid priced scent that's comparable to Prada, Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Bvlgari, etc, in my opinion.

Sillage for the EDT isn't great. I recommend using the lotion - keeps the fragrance strong for 5+ hours. I also use the CK Be deodorant on the inside of my forearms.. It sounds strange, but it's just a solid stick of fragrance without antiperspirant properties. The deodorant lasts for 9+ hours.

Such a surprisingly mysterious and smooth fragrance. I also love that it's unisex! It has subtle masculine overtones, but after it warms with my chemistry, it's just perfect.

I have very delicate features and I'm rather petite, so I really go for the unexpectedly androgynous scents. Gives me an indescribable edginess without being in-your-face rebellious.

With that said, this is really amazing on everyone, but I'm glad that not everyone knows it.

SUPER underrated cologne. and I'm kinda glad it's underrated :)

Hubby has this, he prefers CK One and so do I.

The top notes are nice but the dry down puts me off, and it doesn't last long on us. After an hour we are hard pressed to smell anything.

edit: after wearing Be a few times I am warming to it, literally. I keep expecting the citrus blast of One but Be is mellower and warmer, and the dry off has woody and musky tones. It does last a while but the scent morphs and the citrus disappears, unlike One where the citrus just keeps on going.

They are both nice, I think that One is more summery and BE could be worn all year round.

I like this one more than Ck One. It's more musky, light and powdery. I think it is more suitable to women, Ck One is aromatic and more suitable to men although the two of those fragrance is unisex.

this is very light and fresh, even if you spray it whole your body. so i think its really for very hot summer time. i like it but dont think to rebuy.

agradable AROMA, NO ES MUY INTENSO pero se conserva por varias horas en la ropa... de los mejores de ck...

reading the notes, ck be seemed like a no brainer win-win for me. easily accessible, cheap price, and oriental with green notes.
this has been on my to try list for a long time.
i finally spotted an opened package of this at a discount retailer and took a chance.
well....unfortunately this is not a good review.
i have to agree with the other reviews.
alcoholic blast greets my nose with a swift sharp kick.
synthetic lavender that can pass for a commercial carpet cleaner comes next. this gave me a headache and perfumes rarely do tat. i can spray ten times and be just fine.
this is just ghastly on me, a chemical mess.
and unisex? ha! pushing that. much more leans to the masculine.
sadly, i wouldn't even want to smell this on a man let alone myself. a regretful scent.

Yes perhaps this does smell a little synthetic and a bit like fabric conditioner but at least it is a clean smell suitable for office or an outdoor day.
In my mind it is the one and only unisex fragrance that doesnt smell like grandma's cologne and is suitable for all age groups.
I cant see this ever causing offense unlike some of the sickly sweet sillage monsters of today.

and...for those folks who say it doesnt last...I sprayed myself generously 12hrs ago and can still get a hint of the fragrance.
I like it better than CK1 which has been over copied over the years but to me ckb is unique with no counterparts in today's offerings.
Always to be had a a good price here in the U.k if yousearch hard enough.

My rating 8.5 out of 10.

I used this perfume for about twelve years, I think it smells great, very clean. But it is maybe more for young people. Since I am 30+ now, I am looking for some perfume that smells more feminine. But haven't found one I love yet.

Many have been said about this fragrance...so I am not going to say but this: the peach in this, in the drydown is horrible! Sorry, CK Be you're such a poor choice for summer!

Sin igual.Fuera de lo comun. Me encanto. Tambien steacky adhesiva dinamica y chispeante, no sabria describirla mas

for me...this is very modern fragrance for young men!i like it!

Hey BamBamBaby you're utterly right! Classics are the best! You can't go wrong with it. CK Be is an easy-breezy scent you can wear anytime,anywhere,everyday.

Hi there XoXoLove - think you know me!

I know all of you guys think that this fragance is more masculine than feminine, but i completely love it!!! such a fresh, clean scent :) lavender and green notes are very intensive. Ck one is more citrusy, i prefer woody fragances. Think its price is very affordable too.

Note: Pay attention to what @instantjim says, it was the only thing i disliked about Be: Once you attach the nozzle, the box doesn't close properly and the cap doesn't fit anymore.

i smell Jasmine all the time...but fresh and clean scent

The longevity desires to be better, but actually the fragrance is pretty good by itself:)

Neroli and synthetic laundry detergent musk. "Clean" and boring. Lasted fifteen minutes on my skin. If you want a longer-lasting, better take on this, try Gendarme V.

im a newbie with fragrance but I actually love this smell on a man.. aaargh

very sweet yet cool..but no lasting power at all

I usually wear this during the winter as a day fragrance. I recommend this to everyone who appreciates spicy/oriental/floral fragrances and is looking for a lighter option for office and day wear.
It does skew to the masculine side of the unisex spectrum, but I can see the right woman pulling this off.

@Andy: Not everyone likes scents with a "kick". Those often tend to be too powerful and overwhelming. CK Be is a light clean scent that people won't be so offended by if they had to smell too much of it like they would be if someone was wearing a scent with "kick" :)

I will never know why this stuff is so popular its a very generic plain smell and its totally synthetic i prefer scents with a little more of a kick

CK Be is a casual,clean,light and somewhat soapy fragrance that tends to stay close to the skin. It's not heavy, nor is it overpowering. I personally think it's a lot lighter than CK One (which gives me a headache). This is another one of those scents that makes you smell like you just got out of the shower. It's fresh with a clean, vanilla dry-down. It can be worn at any time of the year and draws compliments every now & then. :) Very affordable fragrance.
God bless!!



9/10

I just got back to this CLASSIC...got a new 200ml bottle. Smells so good. The best fragrance to wear to work because it is so light,clean, crisp and sexy. Better for men (although it is unisex). My only gripe with cK Be is its poor longevity. I get only 4-5 hrs on my skin (thats me being kind). The first 1-3 hrs are pure frag heaven!! Love it!!

I like it on men

huele tan limpio, este olor me enamoro hase unos 7 años cuando me regalaron la botella de 100 ml, me gustaba usarlo en todo momento, despues del gimnacio, y de dia y noche.

For me, this perfume smells really fresh and vibrating..it's really cool to wear it especially in the morning. I think it's funny when a few of my office colleagues like to smells on me because they said .."omg, ur body smells so fresh and it makes my bad mood turns into something sweet"..hahaha..how's that?? Well... this is also one of my favourite and sentimental collection!! (*_^)..

my 1st perfume
still love the scent until now.
i'm falling for the base note, one of the best ...

I think CK ONE is better than BE and more unisex, this one is pretty masculine, but not bad at all, fresh and youthful, perfect match for spring and summer

A bit more masculine than Ck One, although I tend to use both (not at the same time though!).
Can be used anytime but good for evening wear especially in the summer months. Fresh and clean with aa nice warm undertone. I can definitely detect the peach and musk. Very affordable too especially if you get the 200ml at sale price. If you get a chance to pick up the shower gel at a decent price then go for it as it is also very good and leaves you feeling very refreshed. Shower gel can be found at a budget price now and again in TK Maxx.
Enjoy!

YUM... this is lovely... but expensive!

Held off buying this when it was too popular but finally caved...and am glad. Out of all my frags this might be my favourite scent. Maybe not my favourite frag overall but my favourite to actually smell on myself...Polo Blue is a close second in this category.

Very easy to like and amazing--smells like clean laundry. Ive found it to last as long as i dare to go without showering it off!

well. ill go CKBE while most my friend like CKone . ckbe cool especially in a pleasure mood and gay clubbing .

Nice fresh smell, but does not last long.

ck be will always be one of my faves for my husband (his too). Just light, clean, crisp smelling.

I seem to be a sucker for anything with opoponax in it!!

ck one and be will always be in my collection.. just bought both in the 200ml bottles...

i stay with the classics...waisted to much money on the so called new frags...

the classics are the best

Someone bought me this as a present so I persevered with it but it's too masculine and 'aftershavy' for my taste. I notice that Afraafra found it too feminine and perfumy - it just goes to show how different we all are when it comes to fragrance!

it was mom's gift a long time ago,nice and fresh,a clean smell on you.

Less harsh citrus and green than One, more on the fruity-citrus side.
Only beef is the detergenty waft makes the scent a bit synthetic

I used it last summer and I like it a lot. But it's too light for men, it fits better to the women. Personally I prefer CK - One, more fruits and power of the base notes. My girlfriend and I have decided to buy Be for her and One for me and I think it is right decision. In spite of my opinion, both of them are perfect for the summer, exspecially for the hot days, for holidays and travelling.

CK Be in one of those that are simple, but smells so good anyway. As CK One, CK Be have a nice, clean scent but a little bit more sweeter.

What a con! This fragrance is the most pretentious waste of money I have even had the misfortune to own. Where do I start? The fragrance initially smells like dishwashing liquid and never rises above being a generic wishy washy bottle of nothingness. Did I mention it was insipid?

The 100% post consumer content packaging (which is thick, folded, not glued and thus tricky to open) is probably meant to send some kind of message. In addition, the detachable nozzle, means that once you attach it, the box doesn't close properly and the cap doesn't fit on the nozzle, how ludicrous. The message this sends to me is: "Ha ha we emancipated ya money".

The only positive is that the detachable nozzle will allow me to drain the bottle and decant something decent into it.

This review is to talk about all of the Calvin Klein classics (one / be /obession / escape / eternity etc. etc.). A bunch of them were ok, a few of them even good, but a lot of them were just perfumed water for ironing with the CK monogram on the bottle. The problem, thou, it's not with the perfumes themselves but instead with the fact that in a certain period almost everybody was wearing a CK creation. I can say I never tried one of these scent personally but instead I passively suffered them all. I started to develope an allergy and grew it in the years. What I can say for sure is, sooo bad for me, they had an incredible commercial feedback. I will survive!

Rating: 5/10

it uses my boyfriend, he loves it!

I think this is the perfect summer fragrance for the edgy woman... It even comes in a matte black bottle. I know it's notes are typically for a male fragrance but I think it's way too light for men.

CK Be is an airy fragrance with aquatic/bergamot top notes. The dry down is a light sandalwood with just a hint of lavender.

I can picture myself wearing
CK Be of course in the summmer but also when I just want to feel clean and fresh.

Overall I love it's easy style and lack of fussiness.

Once I smell it lately, I can simply tell this perfume made in 90's era. The woodsy, dusty and dark smell, bitter, smokey and the floral really remind me of something from the past. Maybe somebody close to me wear it when I was in childhood. After few hours, the perfume turns to soapy kinda smell. I just dont like it at all. As I see, nothing sexy about it. Oh ya, maybe you see it differently, I mean indirectly. The perfume smell soapy. Soap refer to bath/taking shower. Shower mean you're naked and naked is sexy. I guess so...

I think it's more feminine than CK One, but the smell will be sexier on men ;).
Pity, the longevity is poor, within 2 hours in a hot and humid day it will vanishes completely. To solve that I like to layer it with "Lovely" Sarah Jessica Parker. That way will emphasized the lavender more. Yeah I fall for the lavender in this one.

this is memory in the bottle.
very pleasing and relaxing scent. sometimes addicting too lol.
overall smell it's quite nice, but longevity is kinda sucks, only 4 hours max on my skin.
ck must redo this frag in edp version i think.

7/10

Totally love this. its not to strong but pleasent, soft and crisp at the same time, could wear this for ever, but i do haveto give the others a chance

I bought my first CK Be ever in March this year.
I did not try it, I have never tested it before, I did not know the scent at all.
It did smell great but only for about 30 seconds - after that the perfume was completely gone.
I used up a 100ml bottle in exactly 20 days because I thought that the scent lasted longer if only I used more - WRONG!
The poor lasting power is surely the reason why I have never smelled this on anyone else.
So sad it did not last on me.

IMHO....this is THE BEST colonge to wear to work...hands down! Very clean,crisp,light and sexy. Another winner from CK. Smells better on men.

Great perfume, a fresh, clean scent that lasts. Classy without trying too hard - understated.
It doesnt linger heavely on the nose.

EDT is a very fresh and light, to the point that is almost imperceptible, light wood tones.

This is my first fragrance, along side with CK One. I bought the first one in 1998 and still buy it now. It's very soapy and musky at first, but it becomes more pleasant as it dries down. While CK One is bright and fresh, CK Be is more sensual and sexier in a clean soapy way; I often wear this in evening. I suggest investing on the largest bottle tho because it doesn't last all that long. CK Be is my first love, and it will always "be".

A great musky lavender, perfect for hot weather. I feel immediately refreshed and clean, as if I just got out of the shower. If you like lavender, you'll like this.

RobbieX just said that something could remind him Rive Gauche for Men and I thougth no way. But deep down, something could remind it. Deeeep down. This is actually a calming and relaxing scent, and my first reaction when I bought a mini bottle was to think "this is mediocre". I despised it. And now I like. Maybe because brings me memories of something or sometime familiar; as Luca Turin said, to smell "like a faded memorie". This is more masculine than feminine. CK One is more feminine. Here, it is like missk's review, althought I don't see a consistent parallel whith bvlgari black (unless deep down :¬). Simple scent which I like.

I also think that this perfume is more on the feminine side, which is contrary to what most people think. It is fresh, soapy, clean, soft and warm, simply amazing. I feel very relaxed and at ease wearing it. Be is also very sensual for me... Absolutely one of my favourites.

I think it is way more feminine than CK1.Must be the Vanilla. If you like the soapy, powdery clean smell you should try this and I really think that guys should stay away from this fragrance. It is very feminine. Another thing that I love about this fragrance is that it smells really herbal and calming. Kind of like the Clarins perfume line.

After reading so many negatives, I decided I need to step in :-)
The fragrance is really classy, more masculine than feminine, i wouldn't wear it but I gave it to my dad who used to get compliments all the time.It was 4 years ago I bought him a bottle, he has just few drops of the fragrance left so asked if i could get him that fragrance in a matte black bottle with CK logo on it. (My dad is an oldish guy, not necesserily up to date with designers etc)
I knew straight away he meant CK Be.
My dad (old man) loves classic, yet fresh fragrances and the way he described that one was: ''My black tuxedo and that fragrance make me feel as if I was in my 30's again...and all the ladies at the office keep asking me what I'm wearing...''
I love that fragrance on men more than on myself but who knows, maybe I will give it another try when I visit my dad :-)

Bought this after smelling it on a man in a gay bar once, but I think I'd asked the wrong man because it didn't smell anything like the one I'd smelt.

It was really masculine at the time (but i didn't try it on skin). So I gave it to my Dad. Went to visit him last year and found it collecting cobwebs shoved at the back of his bathroom cupboard, so rescued it and gave it to my mum haha.

She LOVES it!!

It smells really clean when it first goes on, and very unusual. Can't really describe it. Very casual tho in my opinion. After a few minutes, turns alot more feminine, reminds me of the colour 'peach' for some reason. Then after that just gets really soapy, like a completely different fragrance.

Yeah it's different.... but ... I don't know, I'd like it if all my clothes smelt like this, but maybe not on my skin. Shame my mum liked it damn. Oh the point of the start of my review was, maybe it smelled completely different because it changes so much.

To me it smells more like a guy perfume than unisex. I bought and tested it on me but it just smelled lika guys perfume,so i tested it on me exboyfriend and on him it smelled lika a guy perfume and so great. So I gave him the bottle instead.

I liked! Is a young and freshy fragrance,reminds me movies and cute guys hahaha Excellent perfume ;)

this perfume is very citrusy at first, then it changes onto something hard to explain, like a dry sweetness, totally weird. i really like this smell, smells best on young people

i own one back in high school. i like the top note but as it settles, it kinda turns to a disappointment. i liked ck one better.

"Not another uni-sex fragrance" I thought when this one came out. More than ten years later I wish to add: "That joke isn't funny anymore." Hopelessly dated.

This is my all time favorite, love the musk scent.

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.

I do not like this on myself, but I suppose it would smell better on a man. There is a certain 'sour' note in this fragrance that I find too sharp and unappealing. It is not as fresh or as clean and airy as CK One, which to me, is, and will always be CK's No.1 Unisex fragrance. To my nose, CK Be smells like old soap compared to the dewy meadows and green grass of CK 1.

If there is a fragrance which should be unisex instead of CK Be it would be Issey Miyake Pour Homme (a fresh woody aromatic I love)...CK Be smells alot more masculine to my nose than it, so I don't get how it can be unisex.

I really loved this scent in high school and after reading all the reviews I think Im going to buy another bottle! The scent was clean and fresh, a MUST in my perfume collection. How could I have forgotten about CK Be? :o)

This is one of those scents that I will always replace when it's finished and will always have. It's a timeless scent and (to my nose) it's extraordinary. It's kicks the shit out of Ck1 anyday. It's totally compelling and clean. And it's my "Go To" scent when I can't decide what to wear and it never dissapoints. It's going down as one of my all time favourites because nothing smells like this anywhere. It's a scent that makes me feel instantly clean, light as air and it's got amazing lasting power but it's not an overpowering scent. It's good for day to day wear. A kind of..under the skin smell that could be mistaken as your natural clean smell. It's gorgeous and under rated! (Can you tell I'm a fan?)

There is something incredibly relaxing and calm about this fragrance. It is comfortable and light while maintaining a certain presence that is both charming and ideal.

Unisex it certainly is. While the opening is rather masculine, and in some ways similar to Bvlgari Black, the drydown is quite floral and clean, but not at all feminine. CK Be is somewhere in between, something that would smell sexy on a man and pretty on a woman.

CK Be is mysterious but certainly not dark. There's an element of cheerfulness behind this fragrance and it is quite refreshing.

I sense a subtle rubbery note intermixed into the notes which gives this fragrance that little something. The rubber combined with smokey woods and sweet floral notes really makes this fragrance worthwhile.

The lasting power is quite good and the price is fantastic for such a quality scent. I recommend for both sexes.

Clean, clean, clean! I haven't worn this since high school, but recently purchased a bottle, and it brought back so many memories. I think the initial spray has a masculine quality, but the drydown is so fem. I really love it when I want something fresh.

I cant see how this can be a unisex perfume, actually. Its really masculine.. but I LOVE IT!! So im going to buy this for myself soon.

I dont think my boyfriend will like me wearing this, though. He likes that I wear sweet-fruity scents. But heck! I got to have this! ;)

it's an all time scent for me. I prefer different perfumes for different times but Ck one or Be is always there. Whenever i want a fresh and clean feeling, Be is the one i'm looking for. I love it's lavender effect. This perfume is lila for me. Lovely and simple.

Its the dark version of CK One. It reminds me of a gloomy rainy day. Very mysterious, very ominous, smells very clean and great longevity.

It is an interesting scent, and leaves a very woodsy, juniper-y, almost gin-like impression. It's OK by itself, if rather shallow and not very complex, but I accidently decanted some into a bottle which had previously held some Organza Indecence, and this combination was fabulous!

i do not know why everyones got this garbage it smells horrible i couldnt even stand the first 2 seconds and the drydown is gross

I find this so sexy and complex yet at the same time so simple and clean...i always wondered what they meant about this being unisex when it came out...i thought "how can a scent be uni?"...then i smelled this and it all made sense...very good and very clever.

good for everyday use. doesn't last that long though, but i still like it! i'm on my 2nd bottle now. :D

This smells like woods and citrus. Very nice! It's casual and reminds me a bit of CKOne. It is a bit on the masculine side, but not so much that a woman would feel uncomfortable wearing it.

I bought this few days ago. Freshing memories thought.
My teenage daughter says I smell like grandpa.. and few hours later she asks "what parfum are you wearing now, mom? It´s great and smels so good."
Well, I told her"same perfum honey, that one what smels like grandpa.."
So. I think this is first very maskuline, and few hours later it´s sexy feminine, little mysterious.
This is allso very longlasting. I went to shower and afterwards I still can smell I´d put CK Be on me.
Fresh at first, secresy later.

fuuu - really many notes - big mix - typical 90´s smell :-)

i first smelled this one on the test paper and i really felt in love with it... nice and fully fresh´n´flowery smell!

so i decided to test it on my skin - hmmm - nice - but... after few minutes - ehm... error? yes - not compactible - it was more sweet than fresh and a bit sour... i dont know... definitely not for me - for my skin:-)

I Think this one is very spicy and sexy,very unusual,a great unisex perfume i love it. :)

This is one of my favorite fragrances!
I read the description and i think wow i must buy that parfume.I love the bottle it's so velvet,black and looks very good.I love to wear CK be when i want to feel clean,comfortable and free,it's good for everyday when you wear lazy clothes hang out with friends or only for relaxing and be yourself.

To the fragrance the first smell is really masculine but after some minutes it turns into a fresh and woody,warm fragrance.It smells like good showergel it's so nice,i think it smells very pure,sexy and confident.It's a good fragrance for women and men,for all seasions and timeless.

the top 3 perfume of my collection list.Its woody scent makes me feel easy & calmy.some kind of uniquely sexy

A favorite scent on my man. Just love this scent in his beard.

I find this fragrance to be slightly more masculine than CK one but still it is a lovely unisex fragrance. I prefer it to CK one-in fact, the two are really not anything alike except that they are unisex. I really like the top notes which are fresh and minty. However, despite many "green" ingredients, this is by no means a green scent. The drydown and basenotes are spicy and sexy and perfume is incredibly long lasting. As it is drying down, it smells like wonderful sandalwood then finally ends with a soft, nearly powdery amber scent.

It's funny how chemistry, noses, etc. are so different because I noted here that some folks found this one to be quite feminine. I think both sexes could wear it nicely. Also, I'm by no means a teenager, but I think it smells pretty good on me anyway! Why I haven't tried this one sooner, I cannot say...but this one is worth the price of a full bottle. For an affordable perfume, I agree this one could be a perfect daily fragrance.

This is the the best unisex perfume ever! It is really, really nice and velvety. It has a smooth richness and mysterious attraction that you cannot ignore.

I loved this in high school and occasionally I wear it as a casual outdoor perfume. Bergamot and green notes are prominent for the first hour or so, and then I can detect peach, jasmine, and some freesia. I find the dry-down very sultry, powdery in a musky way, very sexy. I found this to be much more feminine than CKOne.

This is an exquisite fragrance. I think it smells like a velvet field at night.
It's floral, but not femenine. Try it.

I had it a loooong time ago... it's great for day by day, and in specially for younger people, teens ;)

Just like One - great unisex perfume.
