Calvin Klein CK1 Palace is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Nathalie Benareau. CK1 Palace opens with Sweet Pea, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Apple, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Calvin Klein's CK1 Palace carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a seriously lovely, crowd-pleasing scent that's tragically let down by woeful performance. Everyone loves the smell, but it's a skin scent within an hour, sparking outrage and calls for an EDP version. Coty, sort it out!

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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile, combined with poor longevity and sillage, makes it perfect for casual settings, the gym, or an office where you don't want to overpower. It's too weak for dates or formal events where you want to make a lasting impression.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

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

Imagine a vibrant burst of zesty lemon and mandarin, softened by the delicate, sweet floral whisper of sweet pea. This effervescent opening gives way to a juicy heart of crisp apple and plump plum, grounded by a subtle green violet leaf. The dry down is a comforting, clean blend of creamy sandalwood, elegant cashmere wood, and a hint of earthy oakmoss, creating a fresh yet sophisticated aura.
