cK one Summer 2009 (2009)
by Calvin Klein

I have been following the ck one summer fragrances for a lil' while. Most of them are too borderline feminine for me to wear everyday, but this one is a keeper for sure. It reminds me of lime lick-a-color popsicles. It is light but projects itself fairly far. It intensifies when my body heats up which is one reason why it is a perfect summer fragrance. I have a few of the other ck one summers, many of which dry down to a powdery feminine base--this is not the case in this one. It is consistent its entire lifetime. I saw this at tjmaxx last week for $25, and I will be going back tomorrow in hopes of picking up a spare bottle before this years version comes off store shelves.
I said this one is not as feminine as the past ck one summers, but it is not very masculine either. I usually pair it with a shot of Fahrenheit Summer-- the pepper in that is unmistakably male. I find myself using this fragrance to spritz my clothes midday before heading back out, even when I begin the day with another fragrance. Totally delightful and worth checking out.
