CK One Essence is a bit of a pointless release, you could argue. It lives off of the previous success of the original, retaining its core values but attempting to mould it into something more modern and refined. I think it achieves that, but in doing so strips away the very character which made CK One so popular. It’s still got that scratchy, musky, minty citrus cocktail feel about it, but very much smoothed out by an increase of the tea notes. Additionally, a surge in juicy blood orange makes the overall scent a little sweeter and fruitier. I can’t deny it smells very pleasant, but I just don’t see much need for it to exist. I will admit, I am a huge lover of CK One - no one can deny how iconic it is and despite my usual tastes, I love the original scent profile. Whilst I can appreciate the thought process of this one, you’re better off just sticking with the original if you want this sort of scent.
