What does CK One Summer 2021 smell like?

It begins with Meyer lemon and grapefruit for a bright citrus lift, softened by the aquatic notes. The heart of watermelon, eucalyptus and rhubarb adds a fruity, green touch. In the base, ambrox, peach skin and blond woods smooth the scent and give it a light sweetness.

Longevity is rated weak and sillage moderate. Voters choose it most for leisure, daily wear and sport, and it also works at the office. Votes on character lean masculine, with modern and feminine not far behind. Zara Teahupoo and Afnan Perfumes Rare Reef have a close profile.
