What does CK Be smell like?

Bergamot, mint, mandarin orange and juniper berry give it a cool opening. White peach and spices then lean the heart fruity and floral. Tonka bean, opoponax and sandalwood leave a sweet, powdery, woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen settings. On character, masculine leads slightly with feminine close behind. Carolina Herrera Chic for Men (Eau de Toilette) and Anima Vinci Neroli Wisdom have a close profile.
