What does CK One Platinum Edition smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer for it, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it leaves a quiet trail through the day. In the character votes masculine edges ahead, though feminine is not far behind.

It opens with aldehydes, cardamom and Granny Smith apple, a cool, crisp and slightly fruity start. The heart of French lavender, red cinnamon and pink pepper adds a spicy warmth. The base of vetiver, cashmere wood and amber closes it woody and softly sweet. Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Sport and Dunhill Desire Silver have a close profile.
