What does CK One Summer 2014 smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and the occasions that lead are leisure, daily wear and sport. Votes split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, which puts it somewhere in between.

It opens with melon, lime, grapefruit and lemon. The heart holds cypress, white freesia and tequila, and in the dry-down sugar, cedar and coconut water soften it and add a gentle sweetness. The overall impression is fresh, aquatic and green, with the fruity and sweet sides staying in the background.
