Calvin Klein CK2 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Pascal Gaurin. CK2 opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, Pear, and Wasabi, settles into a heart of Rose, Orris, Peony, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Incense. Calvin Klein's CK2 carries a Favourite verdict, a mineral-led wear.

A truly unique scent, CK2 was ahead of its time, delivering an ozonic, mineral-rich experience that evokes petrichor and clean modernity. Its discontinuation is still lamented by a dedicated fanbase, proving it was a cult classic gone too soon.

About

Imagine a wet stone garden after a summer rain, that's CK2. It opens with a crisp hit of violet leaf and an unexpected zing of wasabi, brightened by pear and mandarin. The heart deepens with an uncanny wet pebble accord, alongside soft rose and peony, giving a cool, ethereal floralcy. It dries down to a subtle, fresh woody base of vetiver, sandalwood, musk, and a whisper of incense, creating an airy, mineral, and utterly clean skin scent.
