An adventurous character deserves a fragrance to match. CK One Summer by Calvin Klein is a fresh and enticing fragrance that opens with a juicy cocktail of succulent pear, watermelon, mandarin and Kaffir lime leaves. Mid notes of violet leaves, marigold, verbena and water lily create that feeling of aliveness, while dry notes of patchouli, skin musk, vetiver and cedar wood wrap the fragrance in the calming mood of suntan lotion on warm, subtle skin. This scent is sure to please all year long. 

GS Approved: We love CK’s limited edition fresh and enticing notes because there are days when soaking in the sun is just what you need to feel cosy and when it’s not in use, the bottle’s warm colours on display will induce just as much glee.  

 

Inspiration: Of the many ways to replicate runway sauciness, Calvin Klein does it best. With his Spring/Summer 2010 collection conjuring up utter glamour, makes this scent worthy of its designer label.
