What does CK One Summer 2012 smell like?

The top is cucumber, bergamot, lime and Faassen's catnip; the heart brings aquatic notes, lotus, rosemary and apple. Rum, driftwood, sandalwood and Irish moss soften it in the base. The overall impression is fresh, citrusy and green, with floral and fruity touches and a light sweetness in the background.

Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and sport lead the occasions. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, so it sits between the two. Calvin Klein CK One Summer 2009 and Cindy Crawford Waterfalls have a close profile.
