Advantages: Light, Fresh

Disadvantages: Limited Edition

I was lucky enough to be sent a bottle of cK One Summer for next to nothing via some website links. Not being much of a Calvin Klien fan (see my other reviews for proof) I was very scepitcal at first when I looked at the bottle.

I love the way it looked like a flask, with the screw on cap. I did wonder about whether there was a spray version and was very quickly satisified with what else was inside the box. You get a spray nozzle attachment too for free, so you can choose to either leave it as a screw on splash on, or a spray on. Guess this is for the guy (splash) girl (spray) divide. Still I prefer the spray personally, means more goes on me than my hands!

So I proceeded to spray some on my forearm. I have to say, I really am not a fan of the psuedo-fresh fragrances. However, this is very nice indeed. Its very subtle. Its not as burst-fresh as Christian Dior's Eau Sauvage (the timeless classic) but its much fresher than most other fougere. The top notes are very fruity, and if we believe what we read, its kiwi fruits! Then you get the standard Citrus burst, which apparently cKOne is famous for. It dries down into a fairly lasting base note of grassy freshness, though it doesnt engulf you like Eau Sauvage, rather it remains closer to the skin.

So, the acid test. Would I buy it again (before they stop making it?) I would have to say, yes. It would make a perfect Office Bottle, or Car Bottle. I have tried it as a splash on compliment to Guerlain's Vetiver today, and I must say they go together very well indeed.

Go try it out, its on sale at most department stores and boots. Its a lovely Green Bottle to boot!
RRP is £28.00
