Calvin Klein CK One Platinum Edition is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Ilias Ermenidis and Pierre Negrin.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its moderate sillage and often-cited limited longevity make it suitable for casual wear and dates where an intimate scent is preferred. While generally inoffensive, the sweet and fruity opening might be a bit much for very formal or professional office settings, though it fades quickly.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A crisp, aldehydic apple note opens, swiftly segueing into a warm, inviting heart of spiced lavender and pink pepper. The drydown settles into a comforting, sweet woody base, where cashmere wood and vetiver mingle with a touch of amber, creating an overall elegant and clean sensation that's both familiar and intriguing.
