CK One Summer
Ralph Rocks
CK In2U

Try Silver by Al Rehad for a cheapie. They do an EDP spray which is layer with the oil. It costs pennies, smells pretty good, and lasts days.

I have this same problem with the modern CK scents (whether newer releases or reformulations of older ones) except for a couple, the two Obsessions being stand-outs. It's a shame!

By no means do I think CK are at the top of the game, but they do have a decent library of inexpensive, fun fragrances which are supremely easy to wear and widely available. They seem very friendly to those with issues tolerating fragrance as well, but this could be because they're little more than scented water.

The masculine IN2U, which I hated at first, has this ultra-fun 'soda pop,' note that makes me smile, for example. Be is one of those pleasant-yet-unremarkable fragrances that can't offend anyone and can be worn anytime, anywhere. One has some wonderful, bright citrus in the opening. I also rather like Obsession Night, Eternity and Eternity Moment, Euphoria, and a few others that don't spring to mind so readily.

Some of these fragrances are a joke, though. Be is perhaps the worst, and worse than some drug store EDCs I've had (that cost 10-15 dollars for half a liter) for its abysmal longevity. Maybe the most fleeting fragrance I've ever come across. It's downright criminal at almost any price.

Are they trying to appeal to the sort of people who want to own perfume, but not smell perfumed? The ultra self-concious who fear offending anyone? Is this a reaction to the way some places in the US have banned fragrances? Can they not make an EDP version or something for those of us who actually like how these things smell?

Try Agua de Loewe by Loewe.

L'eau D' Issey Miyake - I also CK One, and though it does smell nice, it's longevity is terrible. So I bought Issey, which is somewhat similar as a clean nice scent, and it lasts up to 8 hours on me!




By the way, I just noticed the OP is a female. So I can't really recommend any alternative fragrance for women.

a ck One fake!

Try Coriolan, though you'll get some spice too.

Green leather citrus floral is a tough one for me. I can't help but think of Je Suis Un Homme by Etat Libre d'Orange, and Silences by Jacomo.

Not a fan of CK One at all, though.

+1....

I just remembered that Penhaligon's Quercus smelled almost exactly like CK One to me. Or at least the shower gel did, when i tried it. Maybe you'd like it.
