I really love This fresh, soapy and squeaky clean perfume. For me this is by far the Best unisex scent ever made. For me it has all the elements a unisex should have… not too feminine nor too masculine. One of my all time favorites. Both silage and longevity could be better… but I love to respray so no hamre done. The price i fair for such a quality scent. cK one is the one for me. Soft and pleasant in every way.
Affordable luxury

CK ONE is one of those fragrances that smells very different to me depending on the weather. It’s just the thing for a hot, sticky summer day as it’s very refreshing and has the right balance of sharp citrus and softer woody/floral/spicy notes. It isn’t sweet, there’s no vanilla and the citrus is the only fruity note that I can smell. (There’s pineapple in the notes, but it isn’t evident on me.) This is a versatile fragrance and can be dressed up or down, but I tend to wear it primarily as a casual day scent. I find the sillage to be pretty soft and I can apply very liberally without worrying about fumigating the room. Overall longevity is good, but on me it’s so soft that I sometimes like to reapply during the day for a nice citrus burst.
On the other hand, if it’s a chilly day, CK ONE smells like straight-up lemon juice on me for the first hour or so. Once it dries down, I get the well-blended scent that I like and the rest of the progression is the same as it is in hot weather. Also, I prefer stronger fragrances in cool/cold weather and this fragrance is rather too soft for me when the temperatures are lower. So, now that we’re finally getting autumn weather around here, CK ONE goes to the back of the shelf until next summer.
(Batch code 7183, manufactured in July, 2017.)

Ck One, a low-cost but high-quality perfume. Very fresh and limonose opening. The pineapple along with citrus fruit is something unique and reminds me very much of Chrome by Azzaro. Note green and fresh, then something floral. I do not think I did. Sore point: If you have an acidic PH you have to do 5 separate splashes to make it last for at least 4 hours. The scent of youth!
camoxih – :
No need to introduce this frag: like Acqua di Gio, it’s a summer classic.
Easy wear for hotter days. I tend to prefer the smell of CK One, but because of the poor performance, I think Armani’s Acqua di Gio does the job better. Better than both of these, I’d suggest to opt for Azzaro’s Chrome, a really great frag for the 20’s crowds.
Spring/summer days, 15 to 35 y.o.
LISAV – :
If you were to distill the idea of tennis into a fragrance, it would probably smell like this. I don’t get overt citrus with this but it’s definitely there somewhere – it makes the whole thing smell fresher.
I was born after the enormous ubiquity so I’m not affected by that in the way some other reviewers are. I’d still only wear this with casual clothes though – perhaps with a T-shirt and trousers when I want to feel a bit more professional.
nastya_golov – :
This smells indeed fresh and clean in a nice way. I also find it very calming. Glad I could try it, but don’t need a bottle of this when my sample is finished.
hipokrat – :
Guys, if you want a versatile, masculine, acquatic, not overpowered fragrance, this is your choice. This thing is a masterpiece, also because people need to get closer to you to smell, so It turns into a intimate fragrance. I prefere nonoverwhelming fragrances, because they are just perfect, people when come in with a ultra smelly fragrance, it’s just horrible.
Not perfect for date, this is more for a chill plan, but you want to smell incredible. Use this fragrance specially when I don’t know what to wear, or when it’s a super chill plan that I don’t need a strong fragrance.
If you are looking for a more elegant fragrace, try acqua di Gio if you want not a overpowering fragrance. For dates, D&G the one, CH privé, or playboy new york (Montblanc Legend – A&F Fierce Imitation) that will cost you like 14 dollars
PuzatayaHrunechka – :
This scent itself is okay. It didn’t even make it to work on me. I can barely even detect it when I sniff my arm where I applied it, and I was heavy-handed and tend to be extremely sensitive. Not a huge disappointment as I bought it in a set with some other scents I love.
tcaltd – :
I love this fragrance, not one of my favourites, but even tho I love the innocence and the freshness of it, when I don’t know what perfume to wear, I wear ck one, because is versatile, I use it only for summer, or for bbq’s with my friend in hot weather, not so recommended for winter or cold weathers, doesn’t mean it smells bad in weather, it’s because the cold weather neutralizes a lot the fragrance, you’ll almost won’t feel it, for cold weathers I recommend Polo Red, D&G the one, Lacoste essential, Ch ch/privé, Zara pour homme II and for me adg with do in any weather, best in summer, but not the best performance in winter
uox665speagoessenda – :
I always knew of this perfumes’s legendary status as well as it’s basic-ness.
However, I bought a bottle for dirt cheap recently and I was surprised at how much I’ve come to like it. It’s fresh, laid back and refreshing (particularly on hot summer days). Seeing as I was not around in the 90s when this perfume was all the rage (and could be smelt everywhere apparently) I think I can appreciate it.
Go on, give it a try!
imbo_hant – :
Feminine/ Masculine/ Unsisex…etc. If it smells good on you, wear it. The lines in perfumery are blurring.
никитjjy – :
Good starter perfume for anyone who does not normally wear a scent. Very fresh and citrus smelling perfume. Be wary though the chemistry of your skin changes this scent vastly, it smells nice on my slightly acidic oily skin but I have smelled it on others with dry skin and it smells like rubbing alcohol.
ElinoNakcoani – :
CK One is a ‘play-safe’ sort of fragrance perfect for hot weather. It’s clean, fresh and pleasing to the senses. However, it can’t be classified as a impression-making scent and is best suited for daily use in the summer when your motive is just to smell clean and pleasant rather than grabbing attention.
v_ryben – :
I know Ck One is considered an outdated fragrance however I keep buying it after the years. Being a doctor I like to wear something fresh and not over the top while going to work and I think this is perfect. It’s fresh, clean, youthful. It’s nice during the summer but also all year round, in my opinion, this is the kind of fragrance you can’t go wrong!
Кристинка – :
My first and I hope only negative review and I appreciate that the biggest factor in fragrance preferenes is that it is purely subjective. However, with CK One;
I find the top notes quite offensive as to me they smell so synthetic and over-powering and additionally the sillage of these top notes must be a good half hour or even an hour. A nightmare start to my day during my commute is that some guy has liberally sprayed himself with this and the harsh, green, aquatic top notes absolutely fill the carriage. It’s really offensive and that the individual clearly thinks it’s a good thing just makes it worse; and not just CK One either – Thierry Mugler’s Womanty has the same aquatic harsh overpowering effect. Luckily this has been discontinued – unluckily a woman in the office is wearing it right now 🙁 may it slip from her hand the next time she applies it in her bathroom.
I have a little Amouage Interlude in my bag, I think I will put a little on my top lip.
ILb9IS – :
CK One is your no-nonsense kind of fragrance. Very laid back and casual. It’s fresh, lemony clean and a little musky on the dry down. It’s a safe inoffensive pleasant scent. This really does put a spring in your step and a smile on your face. Perfect when it’s hot and sunny. Longevity is above average for me.
PiratGT – :
Citrusy fresh 1st hour and then floral..why a fragrance has to be masculine or feminine…it’s pleasing for both..keeps u fresh in hot summers..that’s enough.. masterpiece
FrankaTomas – :
Blind buy in 2008 because of sale.
Used it on a few casual occassions and sometimes work. Tried to like it but I can’t, maybe that jasmine and turpentine kinda smell linger that bothers me.
I gave it to someone I forgot who, the same year I bought.
Sorry CK One I just can’t handle u anymore
cumas – :
This is really a great summertime fragrance. Bright, crisp and refreshing. It’s a green citrus on me and you can’t over use this fragrance as it is light and inoffensive. I love wearing this after a day at the beach or a dip in the pool. It’s simply sunshine in a bottle that’s always in style.
MiroslavVolhov – :
I still have a little of this left in a bottle I purchased in the mid 90’s. Lots of memories associated with that bottle!
This scent still smells fairly good today. The citrus screams summer, and occasionally I’ll wear it to the beach or when going out on the boat.
When I finish this bottle, I probably won’t replace it, I’ll let this one pass like a fond memory… and leave the bottle tucked away with nice pair of ripped up jeans from yester-year.
max-makar – :
If I want to travel back in time to the 90s when I was in high school, I just put this on. It’s actually my husband’s but we share it since it’s unisex. I love green fragrances and this is one of the classics.
Samphesee – :
love the freshness but doesnt last long, very disappointed.
blagoi1985 – :
It’s fresh and youthful. If you are an energetic person and full of youthful energy and are looking for a fragrance that doesn’t scream 50+ yo retired businessman, this might be your jam.
It’s weak and fades (being an EDT). So you will need several spritz and maybe play around with where you spritz to get a longer lasting effect.
If you are young and looking for cheap fresh fragrance for your first one, this is it. It’s unisex in that there is no overbearing floral or spice scents.
As always, buy a test or go in-store to see whether you personally like it.
Scent : 8/10
Performance : 6/10

Viktorsoft – :
This straight up smells like white florals with some musk in the background its way too feminine in my opinion, but if your a classy gentleman you might pull this one off. Its fresh clean but smells like something a chic lady would wear rather than a man. Lasted a few hrs on my skin in the temperate weather becomes skin scent in an hour.
Scent : 6/10

This smells almost identical to Azzaro’s Chrome, and al-Rehab’s Silver. Ok but not great.
3.5/5
CIKAgo – :
One of the first frags I owned. I remember smelling it at age 15 around 2010, the scent was so intensely bright and fresh to my untrained nose. I have recently purchased this for my (female) partner because I find the florals and tea in the dry down far too feminine for a man in his 20s.
The opening is a bitter, sharp lemon zest which within about 5 minutes mellows down to smooth dry citrus with a hint of tea leaf. Only in the opening does this fragrance resemble anything masculine.
Within half an hour this becomes a floral tea scent with a light musk undertone. To me, CK One leans more feminine due to its softness. Very similar to EA Green Tea.
Still a wonderful fragrance, very fresh and inoffensive.
Airat1135 – :
Not distracting and nice to wear, awesome dude!
karina-24 – :
This was fantastic when I was in seventh grade and it’s fantastic now. Radiant citrus and tea freshness with a shot of spicy warmth from nutmeg and cardamom. Even though I actually wore this when it came out, it doesn’t feel dated to me- I think it’s still great for casual use.
IRoschin – :
I don’t like the top notes, I absolutely love the dry down. If anyone is reviewing this after the the first 2 minutes I suggest waiting a bit. Perfect for a summers night. It’s soft enough but not too femenine for guys and a real people pleaser.
Gardenas – :
I enjoy this perfume. It smells better on men than it does on women, in my opinion. It’s subtile and noticable enough; I only notice it when someone just sprayed it on or when I give them a hug. I love how it’s fresh and green in a natural way. I’d reccomend wearing it during warmer seasons.
desperadoss – :
If you are from the general populus and are looking for something that smells good on you, isn’t getting heavy on your wallet and is acceptable where ever and whenever you want to pull this off, grab a bottle of it and you’re good to go for another 4 months.
And if you’re reading this right now, it makes you not from general populus but someone who cares about his/ her fragrance choice and is trying to make an opinion about this perfume. This has a great start, a good heart and a likeable base however one note in base keeps bothering me. Overall it is a good perfume to wear. Perfume enthusiasts have many other options as well…
gdd551Diobtetty – :
This is really strange how this preforms, i kept getting whiffs of a gorgeous mens perfume and i kept sniffing my arms to see where it was coming from but couldnt find it because up closento the nose it smells soo feminine ! So strange. I love it
nurjannb – :
The dry down is a more feminine floral so men beware but overall it does smell good. I give this a 7.2/10.
палартура – :
12 year old mousulus thought this was just the coolest thing ever! The sexy androgynous advertising. The free paper samples in Seventeen magazine that I used to rub all over my ripped-jeans and flannel covered pre-teen body until my mother finally got this for me on my 13th birthday. My first ever perfume. And boy did I wear this one to death. Why have one spray when you can have 500?! Why not just bathe in the stuff?!
As time has passed, despite the nostalgia, I have to admit, this never worked with my body chemistry. It didn’t then and it doesn’t now.
On my skin all of that citrussy goodness becomes astringent and harsh. It smells like the first spritz of lemon Pledge wood polisher. What for other people is fresh, clean, bright, summery is warped into a sour bitter gin and tonic. One would think gin and tonic would be a good thing but trust me, if I spray myself with CK One, you really don’t want to be anywhere near me. It’s almost like cheap teenage boy deodorant spray. Blech. You get the point.
It just goes to show, body chemistry plays a huge role in fragrances. I still love the idea of CK One, it makes 13 year old me giddy, but the reality is, this was made for someone else.
umberto – :
This is Summer in a bottle, crisp, refreshing, ‘feel-good’ fragrance. I wear it when it’s hot and it makes me feel clean and energized. I don’t find it overly masculine and I like to overspray it a li, because it’s not very strong and doesn’t bother (also it’s not so longlasting, so if I put a little bit more, it will last longer). I don’t think this perfume can ever go out of style
Deroxangmu – :
thank god, I don’t really hate this perfume but I don’t have to smell this everytime. time has passed.
msa075050 – :
It smells like “cologne.” I mean men’s cologne – one to splash on after shaving. And I’m a very feminine woman… so… this isn’t really me.
It is light and refreshing. Smells lemon-y. Once I glanced at the notes, I thought, yes – citrus, green notes, pineapple, papaya and florals.
But it also reminds me of bathroom cleaner. Sorry, but it does! I think it’s because of the freshness and citruses.
белла-эдвард – :
I didn’t put dislike, though I want to…but I think it’s because it was overplayed and overworn by err’one in the 90’s. It kinda should stay there! :O Like why would people prefer this over say…’Truth’ that came years later(and is great! 🙂 ) I didn’t put dislike mainly ’cause I liked it in the 90’s(not as much as Escape 😉 But yeah, it doesn’t smell old-man ish..it’s just worn-out its welcome IMHO. Still, if a contest exists, it’s better than CKBE which I also won’t wear! 🙂
Lenny2x2 – :
I never smelled all the notes listed above but only pineapple, citrus and green tea.
Very fresh and aromatic but i would like it more if woodier on me.
dranitsaris – :
Was always very sceptical of unisex scents, until I tried this. Initial scent can be a bit overpowering, especially if you spray a little too much, but smells great on dry down. Very good performance as well.
Longevity- 8/10
Sillage – 8/10
Overall – 8/10
choiccata – :
It somehow took me a long time to like this scent, the opening used to make me think of a musty tea bag and then I felt as if the scent would just vanish completely in about an hour.
I don’t know whether my body’s changed or if my sense of smell is different, but the scent feels so fresh to me now.
It’s very close to the way I would smell after washing myself with a men’s shower gel except it lingers in that just-got-out-of-the-shower sweet spot for hours.
The scent starts out very citrusy to me, becoming warmer and softer in a couple of hours, still feeling distinctly masculine compared to my usual tastes.
There’s something almost herbal in the middle.
About 6 hours after application, I get the sweetness, a lot of the pineapple.
It remains very fresh, not at all candy-like or irritating.
It’s lovely, light, inoffensive and androgynous.
It’s strange how something that would suit so many people remains this unique.
motto-sttel – :
If you’re looking for a citrus scent in which you can basically bathe during summer without feeling guilty because of the price then I think this is the perfect option; it was for me. It also feels nice to be wearing an iconic perfume.
Longevity is decent but if you layer it with the CK One body lotion it’s very good, today I sprayed it (like 6x) at noon and I was still getting compliments by 10 pm.
pavel222tt – :
Beautiful
very similar to Azzaro chrome with no metalic scent
can wear this to any occasion.
just simple and lovely.
top192837 – :
I’m 23, and without having been exposed to the sexed up CK ads and all, I came across CK One when my Mum bought it for herself and and my father to use. They were both in their 40s, but they’re the type of people that don’t care about marketing or trends and just bought it because it was cheap and pleasant.
Personally, I absolutely love CK One. As an ex-pat living in Vietnam where it’s stinking hot and humid, One is a godsend!
I drink it all in, the sweet citrusy blast gives me life and makes me feel clean. It’s not sophisticated at all, unpretentious and just NICE. I can’t imagine someone being offended by it.
I truly believe it smells timeless and cool girl chic. I could imagine a twenty something year old who is super organised, uses Glossier cosmetics, wears a lot of minimalistic normcore clothes from Uniqlo and COS and has a subscription to Kinfolk magazine would be happy to wear this as their everyday scent along with one other perfume for special occasions, something from Le Labo or Byredo.
roa873elipseskism – :
Agree with everything meg0825 stated below! I was in high school when I smelled this on another classmate, so I asked for it for either my bday or Christmas and it was the first time I was completely enthralled with a fragrance. I remember that first spray from my new bottle like it was yesterday, the papaya and bergamot together with the lemon are a fresh, clean scent like no other. Strong sillage, 1-2 good spritzes and I’m good to go. Will be purchasing out of pure nostalgia (and love for this amazing, truly timeless scent). Great for warm weather too, as the citrus works great with heat and humidity. Never cloying, always fresh.
elisei1975 – :
CK One was the original unisex fragrance. I was in my twenties when this came out and it was so hip at the time. I received a bottle as a gift and was over the moon for it. It’s really still a great fragrance. It’s fresh, clean, citrusy and woody. It’s the perfect inoffensive spring and summer scent. What’s not to like?
nick_13-01 – :
Al Rehab has an excellent dupe of CK One called “No. 1”. I turned 24 in 1994, so I remember the scent of CK One all over the clubs during the mid-90’s… especially in the LGBT places. It was truly the scent of that time: simpler and very serene compared to the complexity of ’80’s frags. The scent brings me back… it was a lovely time to be young.
vitese – :
I’ve gotta agree with Perfumechick below me. I know that fragrances are highly subjective, but I can’t really take seriously that people don’t like this or think it’s meh based on the smell alone. This is a perfect dumb-reach fragrance; doesn’t last too long, isn’t offensive, smells lovely and is perfect for spring and summer. It’s a sweet, floral, citrus scent that’s great for any occasion. Gym, office, going to walmart; it covers it all! It also comes in a giant 6.7oz bottle for only $30. I’ve never been less worried about using up my juice than when grabbing for CK One. I mean come on, you can’t really beat this price and quantity. I think a great litmus test to weed out fragrance snobs may be to ask them what they think about CK One. And as far as unisex fragrances go, there can’t be one more unisex than this one. Unlike most fragrances, I’d actually find this to be great on a man just as much as on a woman. Lovely.
I was 4 years old when this thing came out, and I remember growing up still smelling this stuff on tons of people well into my teens. Sure, decades have past, and everyone’s into new flavour of the month fragrances, but there’s nothing cheap or meh about this one. It was a powerhouse of the 90s, smells like the 90s, and like the 90’s, is absolutely wonderful.
Rating: 8.5/10
Longevity: 5hrs
Silage: 1-2hrs
Personal appreciation: 90’s in a bottle.
knissokSinse – :
My new Go-To perfume. It may not be awesome, but the simple, inoffensive smell bubble is good enough for anytime and you cannot actually go wrong with this one.
I have recently purchased it and have been using in office. I must say it a really good fragrance as an officewear.
Logevity- 5-6 hours, even after that there can be slight whiffs
Sillage- 1-2 feet around you
evseev – :
I laugh when I hear people say this fragrance is just eh, or okay. When actually this fragrance was the craze back 24 yrs ago. You smelled it everywhere and on damn near everybody. It may not be a top of the line like the newer fragrances that are popping up every month or every other month.
I must say it still smells wonderful especially on those hot summer days when you need it most just to keep that freshness instead of smelling stuffy. It still has that lasting power and people can smell it on me all day.
It just depends on the body chemistry, what will smell good and fresh on me may not be on you. That goes for any fragrance.
PS.. I just purchased a huge bottle…and some Prada
Moonwalker94 – :
A very strong citrus opening. The lemon and green notes have excellent sillage; they could easily radiate a few feet. The top notes weigh a little more on the masculine side. It’s a very crisp lemon and Bergamot aroma. However, it is still an intensely clean and fresh scent, so I enjoy it nonetheless.
On my skin, the middle notes started to become noticeable an hour and a half after the initial application. The Sillage for these notes radiates a little less than arms length. CK One is slightly more feminine smelling at this point but still unisex enough overall. The scent of flowers is incredibly inoffensive and would smell pleasant on anyone regardless of gender.
Three in a half hours after I put CK One on I was able to pick up on the base notes. The sillage is soft and sticks close to the skin at this point. In my opinion the fragrance is completely neutral when the base notes take the lead. It is not masculine or feminine; just a simply flawless unisex scent.
I would highly recommend this perfume for spring or summer (or if you want to brighten your day a little during the winter). None of the notes are too overpowering so it would also be perfect for indoor wear. The gym, the office, and school would all be great settings for this fragrance.
Open/Middle: 9/10
Base/Drydown: 8/10
Longevity: 6/10
Sillage: 5/10
Overall: 7/10
SonicVad – :
I think I have a decent collection of 200+ perfumes. And this is one of the few I can promote as being “Revolutionary” and “Unique”
Extremely special – not saying that I’d wear it everyday or on any special occasion. But so imaginative and definitive. Everyone should try this once.
So many scents have tried to emulate this, and to a decent extent, but the original stands strong.
Artem1809 – :
Earthy – aquatic – woody fresh
Color impression: aluminum to green
Still after all these years and all replicas, it’s amusingly adorable. CK1 is a refreshing woody, citrus aromatic, with bold green aspects, reminiscent of early spring morning garden after rain. Totally functional summer heat cologne.
★★★
dadets770 – :
I find C K One a revolutionary perfume. It was the first unisex perfume, such a different scent, no one had smelled anything like it, a bit sweet but not too feminine, light, refreshing.The only fresh aroma at that time was Cool Water, but it was masculine . Had good longevity , 7/8 hours of life with moderate sillage. I was present at the launching and could not stop smelling this strange essence.People nowadays find it commonplace but it is far from that, and, in extreme heat CK ONe still is one of the best. Unhappilly, CK(Coty) does a very poor job of curating its portfolio and image, unlike Chanel and Guerlain.
bmr715Diobtetty – :
I respect people who think that this scent is dated. But a scent that makes you feel fresh, clean, and free, surely deserves more credit than that. After all, this little gem has been around since 1994. It has stood the test of time long enough as a scent (Yes, I know. We’re not talking about Chanel no 5 nor Guerlain’s Shalimar here. Those two are iconic!). But I found that wearing expensive designer scents can make me feel uptight at times, and somehow restricted at best. CK One is my perfect antidote to all that when I just want to feel like a freer version of myself. Thank you for reading. God bless.
Unognophype – :
This is a classic. Perhaps not in the league of Chanel No. 5, Dior Poison, or YSL Opium, but a classic in its own right. I remember when CK One came out, when I was in high school, going on to college. I was not yet a perfumista back then, but I already enjoyed fragrances, although back then it was mostly just colognes and “kid” stuff that I could get my hands on. I didn’t know much about perfumes yet, but this one came under my radar because it became famous for being a unisex fragrance. I was intrigued.
I never got to own this one back then, because I didn’t have that kind of money. (I don’t know how much this cost then, but whatever it did, I didn’t have an allowance like that.) However, I did smell it all over the place; so many kids were wearing it. I was only able to buy a cheap dupe cologne (not sure if it was trying to be CK One, but it sure smelled very similar, if not exactly the same).
Revisiting CK One now, in the form of a mini splash bottle, transports me back to those carefree years. (Not that I felt particularly carefree; the fragrance overlapped with some angsty times.) When this little bottle came along at a great bargain, I jumped at the chance to finally own it.
I am actually using it for the first time today. Yes, this classic, in its actual form, I’m using for the very first time. It’s amazing how something I never actually used before feels so familiar to me. It is everything I remember it to be.
It is the happy part of my teenage years; it is fresh and naive. I couldn’t help but smell it as one blend, instead of picking out out individual notes. It is very fresh and very clean, green and citrus. It’s just a little soapy but not overly so, like stepping out of a shower. It is a bright and lovely summer day, with nothing to worry about. Because it is all of these, it is also perfectly unisex.
CK One is very safe and inoffensive. I can see why some people would find it boring, especially for those who prefer more complex fragrances. I can also see why some, particularly those who lived through the height of its popularity, would find it dated.
This is not something that will make you stand out, nor will it make much of an impression. This is not something to impress, express passion or emotion, seduce. It is not a scent that works to achieve anything. It is just there, in the background.
But sometimes, that is just the kind of scent someone needs. It has its place, and I can see this living on even after the current trends have died down and new ones are raging. Maybe it will never be as popular as it once was, but it will continue to sit quietly in the background.
If I would consider CK One a love, it would be because of its nostalgia. But definitely, it is a big like. It isn’t among my favorites, not even among other fragrances of this type. It doesn’t excite me in the way that a lot of my other fragrances do. But it has its place in my fragrance wardrobe, and I will always keep it there.
Begemot – :
Nice fragrance for sure but it’s not amazing.
The opening is a lot like paco by paco rabanne which I actually have it’s nice but as I said not amazing.
The Drydown is nicer than the opening in my opinion, it has a nice green smell after the lavender-like opening.
Opening – 7/10
Drydown – 8/10
Longevity – 6/10 (about 6 hours)
Projection – fairly close to skin but not a skin scent
Overall – 7/10 it is a good fragrance but it’s nothing to go crazy about and performance is fairly average too
I blind bought a 200ml based off of reviews I expected a nice casual fragrance for every day. I don’t regret buying it but there’s much better.
Personally I would say it is a safe choice to blind buy but I think you should sample first

I am always saying I won’t buy citrus perfume because I have quite a handfull of them… and they are “all the same”
I have ckone and I see now it has citrus… i didn’t know… because that perfume is really a great blend of smell.
(so i will keep looking for “citrus” )
I understand it IS fresh and clean, but not in a classic fresh and clean (…) : i really don’t like the “clean” scent of musk, and not fond of “fresh” but i luuuve this one.
And i found it so grown-up, i’m a lady when wearing it (lol, i’m 32) but it may be because when launched only adults were wearing it;-)

The citrus opening smells fresh and then in the drydown there is a clean powderiness. I love it when my husband wears this. What I like best about it is that on him it is one of those “my skin but better” scents. I don’t like it when his cologne blows my hair back. I like the subtleness and freshness of this. It’s never given me a headache or made me feel sick. We think it’s great.

This is more masculine than unisex in my opinion lemon, bergamot,maybe a touch of lavender. It seems very dated. Its appeal has not held up over time.

Unisex, minimalist, fresh, casual and abstract perfume that I really liked and found to be innovative.
I used it when I was in College – like any other classmates… so eventually got tired of it. 🙁
Too mainstream at the time and too dated now.

Smells Very Manly , Smells Like “Confident” Man.
Strong Lemon , Quite Aromatic But Have It’s Own Magic

Smells dated to me. Overall it’s not bad but it seems to have too many notes vying to be centre stage. It’s quite indistinct.
However it does remind me of some toilet air freshener spray which is why I could never wear this. I think it’s the rose note which is exactly the same as one I have smelled before.
Again, it’s not bad but there are so many better options nowadays. Would be good for teenagers due to the price.

I get the lemony fresh opening like everyone else, then I get that aromatic woody thing happening, it’s very light, I’ve got on about four other fragrances to test a test the same time, this isn’t strong and heavy st all. Some of the 90’s ones are.
I’m female, I was originally shopping for a young teen, but I don’t kno was out his one,
