What does CK One Red Edition for Him smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters call it masculine and modern, and a fair number see it working for the office or sport too. Evening and night-out wear sit well behind.

It opens with aldehydes and pear, fresh and lightly fruity. In the heart, black pepper, ginger and suede add a dry, spicy edge. Vetiver sets a woody base, while tonka bean and musk soften it with a little sweetness.
