My mom's signature scent throughout my teenage years. I recently bought her a full size bottle for her birthday. She only had a mini in her bathroom and hadn't worn it in years. She was thrilled and immediately doused herself in it. Her smile was beaming. She was in the recovery center at the hospital at the time and had made quick friends with two other ladies there. She showed it to one and she asked her kids to get her a bottle for her next birthday. It smells like a well rounded approachable person. I may need to buy a bottle for myself, so I can bring my mom to work. She's a freaking cool lady.
CK One is the icon of the 90s, one of the most recognisable and well-known fragrances of recent decades; a scent doesn’t gain that sort of reputation for no reason. This is a fragrance I had always avoided, assuming it would be disappointing as all modern CK fragrances are - damn was I wrong. A bright, zingy symphony of juicy lemons and other citrus fruits dominate the senses, tempered by a powerful green presence. It’s one of those smells that’s so difficult to describe what you’re smelling, as it can only be described as the scent of CK One - that is where Alberto Morillas’ genius shines. I hate to say it, but I love this fragrance. I never thought I would say that about a Calvin Klein perfume, but I’ve found myself reaching for this more often than I care to admit. It’s such an easy wear and satisfies the senses every time I smell it; there’s something about it that just pulls you back in every single time. A true icon in modern perfumery.
