Calvin Klein's CK One Summer 2017 carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This flanker is a divisive one; some say it's a fresh, uplifting summer scent, while others can't get past a dominant, sometimes 'sour' cucumber and strong pepper note. Definitely try before you buy, as opinions vary wildly.

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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh, and slightly spicy character makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in hot weather. The moderate longevity and sillage mean it's unlikely to offend in office settings, and nurses even found it suitable for work. However, its casual nature pulls it away from formal events and some find it too sharp for a romantic date.

About

It opens with a sharp, cooling burst of citron and lime, quickly followed by the signature aquatic freshness of cucumber. This crisp beginning gives way to a surprisingly spicy heart of pepper and ginger, with a hint of exotic saffron. The base settles into a clean musk and subtle guaiac wood, grounding the otherwise effervescent composition with a soft woody warmth.
