What does CK One Summer 2006 smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange leaf and melon, and the heart adds rhubarb, lemon, lemon vervain and freesia for a floral freshness. The base of musk, peach, frankincense and cedar softens everything onto a light woody floor. The overall impression is clean, faintly spicy and a little synthetic.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters pick it mostly for leisure, daily wear and sport. Its character splits between masculine and feminine, which fits a truly unisex scent. Calvin Klein CK One Summer 2011 and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
