What does CK One Summer 2008 smell like?

It opens with watermelon and aquatic notes, then moves into water mint, cucumber and cardamom for a green, lightly spiced coolness. Blond woods, musk and moss sit underneath and settle it onto a soft woody base; the overall impression is clean, fruity and a little synthetic.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it leaves a quiet trail. Voters pick it most for daily wear, sport and leisure, with office use not far behind. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, which fits its unisex profile. Calvin Klein CK One Summer 2013 and Zara Rio de Janeiro have a close profile.
