cK one (1994)
by Calvin Klein

One of the best citrus-based scents in the mainstream market. Very casual yet distinctive. A must have.

This is a pleasant little citrus and musk composition, conceptually not far removed from Mûre et Musc or Fraîcheur Muskissime, but for quite a bit less money. Nice stuff, if not terribly exciting.

CK One just about gets a thumbs up from me. It's possibly a little too feminine for a man but a nice and fresh casual scent for a summer's day. Not sure if I would buy this but I'm glad to have tried it all the same.

It's already been stated that ck One has a synthetic note, but I really do have to throw in my opinion that this note ruins this frag. I could stand the florals, however the synthetic makes me want to vomit.
I don't wear this one.

In 1994 I was 16 years old... one of the benefits of having relatively "well-off" parents was the opportunity to have whatever "it" scent was available... this was what i drenched myself in my junior year of high school... back then it was absolute money every single young female i came across buried themselves in my clothes and didn't want to leave... (ahhhh the memories now at 30 there are so many other things the fairer sex is looking for, but a great scent doesn't hurt)... anyway just to put things into perspective i still have my final bottle of this stuff bought in 1998... to me it's still a decent enough smell but to be honest, this is what i put on the kids when they want a little "smellgood" that they see me putting on every day before work... it also makes a fabulous laundry spray used in addition to fabric softener... your clothes will come out of the dryer smelling very fresh... i know this isn't my best review, but there's not too much else i can say... thumbs up for the memories

I refuse to disown this although I haven’t worn it since 1996. cK One is a pleasant fragrance: somehow intelligent, breezy, yet not inconsequential (the nutmeg for me always gave it that very needed sting.) A scent for technoheads. Obviously it got too popular for its own good, but that was the goal after all. Hard to separate from the beauty of the minimal bottle and the ad campaigns that were omnipresent around 1995 which tried to readjust to idea of male and female beauty yet resulted in something quite sexless (a gathering of friends without bodily attraction, just talk, talk, talking.) Which probably was the point too and as the clever observer Klein had noted, a sign of the times. As you can get cK One fairly cheap nowadays I’ve toyed with the idea of trying it again just as a summer fragrance to conclude that I have outgrown it and besides have set my controls for the opulent heart of the seventies which has no place for cK One. Even so, lasts long and if you are young and feel a bit shy of standing out in a crowd not a bad choice at all (as a starting point.)
