CK One Reflections

Just bought a bottle at the airport. Had no intention of buying anything at all, but after trying the sample, I instantly decided to make a purchase. Even made a sniff comparison with the original cK One; this one stands out a bit. The fresh, citrusy vibe is very much what I need during this super hot weather. Some may say it smells quite soapy & tangy, but I think it's the type that calms you down. Neither provocative nor attention seeking, just nice to be noticeable. After 15 minutes of testing it out in the sun, I could feel the subtle woody second layer evaporating to balance the tangy opening. However, I doubt the sillage of this one would be very far reaching. Highly recommended for young guys who are searching for a perfume to wear with their pineapple Hawaii shirt and bermuda, sipping tropical punch by the beach bar. 4.5 out of 5 for me.

This is so gorgeous- I don’t care who you are- your nose can’t disagree with the sparkling fruity freshness of this green tea fragrance! There are unlisted fruits snuck in here. Something in here is tropical fruity but subtle. Ice twice but no fruits but lemon listed. Ha Drinkable and cooling like a tropical green iced tea. When spraying, I make sure I hit my shirt too. Very light musky but still crisp and cool in drydown, even though muted 4 hrs later... Weather report here says 106 in a week. Lord help me and you know I’ll be using this. Put this out on the bathroom counter for friends and family in the summer heat and enjoy the compliments! 💦 💦🍋🍃 whoosh I don’t think anyone is expecting more than eau de cologne strength from a CK one type these days, are they? $20 at Burlington- winner 👏🏼

Crispy. Tropical. One of the best they have done for hot weather. An electric ⚡️ tropical fruit slushie. I agree with the review below, there are ghost rhubarb and guava notes that actually sit front and center. The pyramid and breakdown is misleading. Feels super familiar if you know this lineup, like CK Summer 2019, 2021 & 2022 all mixed together. No menthol here for me, works wonderfully with my body chemistry. After a run with this on I smelled of Juicy Fruit. UPDATE 8/17/23: It's great still. The only thing it may be guilty of is being a little too derivative of the former versions. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving their beverage-inspired summer releases. I just sort of wish for CK to go off the rails and surprise us for once with the annual release.

Very fresh, pleasant and not at all sharp. It starts with a fresh lemon that doesn't bother the nose, slightly sweet, like lemonade.Then a green note comes out, but fresh, not sweet. It lasts quite a while on my skin, even longer on clothes. But it doesn't project much (which for me is ideal.) It is wonderful in the summer here in Chile, since the sweetness it has is very natural, nothing heavy or honeyed, literally the smell of a lemonade with sugar and ice, so it benefits from the rich aroma of lemon but without that sharp part that bothers the nose that other lemony perfumes have.

This is truly my favorite fresh fragrance! The scent profile is so refreshing to me and have good memories created wearing it. I do wish it projected longer and lasted more but like a lot of CK scents that are edt, it isn't a super performer. But re applying this is a pleasure and don't mind it at all bc it is so damn refreshing. I mean at $25 for 100 ml, come on. The best scent profile of a CK one flanker I have smelled. Check it out!

Es un perfume que cumple. Fresco e ideal para primavera verano. Huele muy fresco y quizás esa nota de hielo-mentol es lo que hace la magia. No es novedosa y de hecho se parece mucho a la CK One original, sin embargo en aspectos de longevidad y estela, es un poco mejor este flanker. Y en cuanto a aroma, hay una nota frutal tropical que siento que no está declarada, pero que la hace un pelin diferente.

A very successful virgin mojito scent. Although it is a perfume that you cannot get enough of, with its light sweetness and intense citrus and mint touches, it is mediocre in terms of performance. If only it had a more lasting and long-lasting scent, then it would be indispensable.

Very very fresh, like rain and first snow. My absolutely favorite fresh fragrance. Doesn't have the disturbing cucumber undertone in it. Unfortunately it gives me allergic skin rash, so I'm not able to use it anymore (add a crying emoji).

This is son fresh and summery. It is 100% summer in a bottle. You spray this on yourself and you feel free and fun, really careless and reminds me of lemony jhin tonic with tea and ginger, in the best possible way!

CK One fragrances have always felt like women's scents to me, they don't work well on a man's skin.Reflections is one of the best in the series.Tea,ice,lemon,ginger.A very pleasant feminine fragrance.

A very fresh, citrus, ginger opening. I smell some menthol aswell. As it sits on the skin, is smell a sweet guava note. The frag ends of very musky. It's not the best, but also not the worst

So insanely underrated for the price. No synthetic opening either, only downside is rather low sillage and i get at most 4 hours. Still, for 27CAD, can't complain for a dumb reach.

Bright fresh crisp citrus. Perfect for those extremely hot summer days. It may not be done ultra unique "banger", but it smells good and it hits the spot on those crazy hot days.

Calvin Klein cK One Reflections for whatever reason skipped the typical Calvin Klein release schedule. Instead of being in department stores to start off, they release them into discounters and rack stores first. Honestly considering the fact Calvin Klein fragrances flood those, I think it should be their release strategy going forward. Also considering typical Calvin performance, that is a good thing. I disagree with another reviewer about Calvin Klein fragrances and not just in the cK One line (or line extensions like cK Be, cK2, cK All and cK Everyone), many suffer from performance issues. cK One Reflections opens with a blast of iced lemon and ginger. You get some tea from the mid giving it a bit of an Arnold Palmer vibe. The ice notes continue on into the mid with the existing tea note. The base is not that noticeable for whatever reason. I get vibes from a few other cK one flankers with Reflections. I mostly get a mix of cK One Summer Daze (minus the cumquat) and cK Everyone. Due to cK Everyone smelling like cK Summer 2019, I get that too. That isn't a bad thing. Honestly, I like this more than Everyone like I do with Summer 2019. cK One Reflections lasts about four hours on my skin. It isn't a strong projecting fragrance but it is pretty good none the less. Good for spring and summer, especially as a gym scent. It is rather unisex. I don't think it is feminine or masculine. Calvin Klein cK One Reflections I rate a 7.1 out of 10. I happen to enjoy cK One Summer 2019 more. This is good if you want to replace that or your bottle of Everyone without going to the EDP.

I like the freshness of this. I think I was expecting something just a tiny bit sweeter. It is not bad at all though. It is very light which I love enough to compliment the rest of my hygiene routine. On the other hand the tea note is very prominent and smells a little more bitter in my opinion than I like. Though the dry down is very pleasant. 7.5/10 Definitely a white T-shirt on a hot summers day fragrance. I wanted to revise my first review. Yes this scent is very fresh. I still find the tea note to be very prominent and almost too much. I get very little citrus from this scent. I did ask some people at my work what they said and they did say they liked it. Maybe it would be a little better if it was paired with another sweeter fragrance. I still give it a 7.5/10

Similar to the original CK One, yet more fresh than citrus. To me it leans a bit fem, and as it’s a CK One summer scent, not much development. What you get in the initial spray is what you’re going to have for the next 3 hours or so. Actually projects pretty decent for the first 30-45min and then sits close to the skin. I like it, for $20, definitely. It’s a nice, uplifting scent that can be worn with ease. Also, definitely one I can share with the wife, she may get more use out if it than me.

This is a great summer fragrance. It's fresh and citrusy with a hint of green, and there's a touch of floral even though there aren't any floral notes, making it a simple, inoffensive choice. Perfect for school or work, but not for special occasions. Longevity is just average, typical for CK fragrances. Think of it as a white T-shirt and jeans kind of scent. If you're looking for something simple for summer days or evenings, this is a great option. 6/10.

The opening on this is really nice, fruity and fresh. I see other comments mention it being on the feminine side and the dry down on this definitely goes in that direction as it does feel a little overly floral but the opening is great and that part is unisex for sure. I've sampled lots of ck one flankers and this was the only one I was in any way remotely tempted to buy. If you had a slot for a casual daily summer scent this would make a great purchase.

This is a good fragrance to spritz on in the summer 🌞 when your running errands or just chilling out with friends or family. I purchased this fragrance a while ago at a rack store for 20.00 and I really like the simplicity of CK One reflections. Longevity and projection are good for me and I love wearing this to work because it is so inoffensive and pleasant smelling.

Good fragrance to splash on if you want to smell clean. Nothing great or bad about this fragrance and at the price point of 20$ I'm not mad at all. I use this fragrance for work and when I'm fresh out of the shower 🚿 and I'm laying around my house. I layer this with a citrus body oil and a citrus body spray to help push the longevity. Good grab & go freshie👍🏾.

Very nice fragrance. Has a lemon soda vibe. Fresh, aquatic, a bit sweet. Perfect for summer and really unisex.

I like it. Unisex. Easy to wear casual summer day scent. Fresh, but at the same time a bit sweet.

Fresh, citrusy pleasant scent. Very summery. Definitely unisex.

Almost a like, but not quite. Opening is good. Refreshing enough, but the dry down isn't so lovely. It's chemical, faint, blurry, musky (but not powdery), and, strangely enough, a little salty on my skin. Longevity is nowhere to be found and the same can be said with sillage. The irony is the scent is completely gone from my skin within 90 minutes. I don't think this is even worth $10 given how terrible and mediocre this performs; there are other CK fragrances out there that deserve higher ratings, but this one's 4+ stars on Fragrantica does surprise me. Mediocrity in a bottle.

Opens fresh with a uplifting grapefruit note. It then becomes fruitier with some tropical notes followed by an orange-citrus aroma, possibly mandarin? It has an airy, tonic quality and becomes sweet and a little watery. The base is a light, clean musk, familiar to the line. Good for both men and women, summer is where it'll work best, daytime. Good for all ages really. Performance is not massive, projection ok for the first hour, then fading to a skin scent. The skin scent isn't much more than a faint, fruity musk, but this does linger for a good while.

Ice note?? Tried this on skin blind without knowing the notes, reminds me of a less citric CK Everyone with a tropical summer fruit tinge. There's the same ozonic artificial air freshener vibe that CK Everyone has. Dry-down is very fluffy musky and laundry-fresh. I'm truly surprised the notes don't mention something tropical.

I was wondering how an ice note would smell, and unsurprisingly it smells cold. Not super minty either. It's not bad, a basic citrus musk with a hint of green notes, only thing holding it back is the horrendous longevity. Thought it'd smell like Imagination based on the notes but I like this more.

Very fresh, musky, clean, and green! There is a nice aquatic note in the background along with a wonderful tea aroma. This is definitely a safe grab for when you just want to smell clean. Would be a perfect, non-offensive work fragrance. I can definitely see this as a unisex scent.

Reminds me of the iced green tea from Lipton, very simple and clean scent. However the longevity and sillage are horrible... I spray this about 7-8 times and it barely lasts an hour. Considering its price point as well (~$20), overall this fragrance is just adequate.

Disappointed with this, very synthetic and feminine leaning. Longevity is lackluster; save your money and buy CK One Essence instead, it's a superior fragrance on all fronts (IMO of course), even the original CK one is superior to reflections.

The fragrance contains a lit if menthol- this gives the icy touch. However, mint is not listed in the notes. Very close to the original one and TBH I need to stop buying the summer editions every year - they are not worth it.

I have to say, the scent is so good, but the performance is the worst I have ever experienced. With twenty sprays, it barely reaches a foot of projection and dissapears after an hour or two.

For a CK fragrance, this one really lasts a long time, but is immediately intimate. But the scent reminds me at first like a toilet cleaner and at the end it smells very powdery.

Extremely weak, could barely smell a whiff of flat watered down lemon soda of off the test strip. Even in extrait concentration this would be quite weak I think.

at first it smells fresh like a mojito but on my skin it turns musty/sweaty :(

It’s an ok perfume, nothing special about it and more like a skin scent

I really like this scent but the longevity is really poor

Would suggest getting the original CK ONE

The opening is nice for like 10 minutes. It’s basically just the original CK1, but kinda smells like someone put one spray of Erba Pura in the bottle to give it a little extra nondescript fruitiness. Projection is about 30 minutes then it dries down to a soft musky skin scent with some soapy-ness. This is not worth buying unless you don’t already own a CK1 flanker. But I’d recommend the original or Ck All over this one.

Waste of time and too feminen smell like hand cream

It's basically CK One topped with huge amounts of pink grapefruit/guava/rhubarb and pineapple ingredients that gives a fizzy sparkling and sweet tropical soda effect. I can't detect any ginger but there's limonene lemon vibe that can be passed as ginger here. As mentioned by some others, menthol freshness is there too. I feel like marketing teams often try to come up with less common or trending notes and here is a very good example. The last decade can be marked with "as little notes as possible" era in perfumery. I mean look at CK One and now this, but if you check the formulas I bet they share at least 50%. And how in the world grapefruit, guava, rhubarb not mentioned is beyond me. You can also safely assume all the notes your nose have registered from CK One can be found here. That fresh floral body lotion-ish drydown of CK One will be what you are getting. It's a playful and tropical juicy twist, a good flanker and for 30 eur no one can complain. There are so-called niche houses that would shove this for 100+.

I love the original CK One; easy to wear, refreshing, cheap, timeless. But some of the flankers haven't been as good. I'm pleased to say this is fantastic. Green tea and lemon; you'll feel uplifted wearing it. There's other notes going on here that are not listed; there's a tropical note giving this even more personality. Longevity and projection are very good - surprising for CK One I know - I could smell it on my clothes the next day. I have received compliments already just from a few days wear. Cheap as well so overspray if you're not getting the desired longevity; you'll not overwhelm anyone as it's a light fragrance. It does lean slightly feminine - which I prefer - but anyone could wear this. 9/10

I have to wonder if people just automatically judge CK as being weak because this one (and many others), at least on my skin is anything but, especially for this type of 'warm weather' scent! Quite long-lasting and with decent sillage. Alas, the scent itself isn't really my cup of tea (as I get a lemongrass vibe similar to CK Everyone EDT, which I'm not too keen on ) but it does smell good and of decent quality (it doesn't smell 'cheap'). It is one of those scents that might grow on me with repeated wear. Smells nothing like the original CK One to me but as I hinted at it's very similar to CK Everyone EDT but with an added refreshing coolness.

This is a very nice, refreshing, soft citrus and smooth tea scent that is a lot better than the original CK One, but it is unbelievably weak. The performance is not even EdC level. Perhaps this is the result of not pumping the composition full of synthetic ambers or heavy musks that would prolong the longevity -- regardless, it pains me to say it but even with its low price, I regret buying it. To make this last, you would have to bring a 10-20 ml decant with you at all times and respray every half an hour.

I went into a store to try this since I heard good things and in theory I like all the notes, but I end up not liking it at all. I was really disappointed, I wouldn't blind buy this, felt the same vibes as Escentric 01, where all the notes make sense but the blend doesn't work for my nose, smelled like cardboard on strip and like old rag on skin. Glad I didn't blind buy it. 3/10

I don't always want to be comforted by the original CK One, so Reflections provides a familiar but new experience of clean for those who enjoy the Calvin Klein subtlety. It's delicious all the way through, and it would cause me to think well of anyone who uses it. Fantastic for smelling on clothing. Dirty or complex is antithetical to this aesthetic.

To me, it's a fruity cooling tea with a touch of florals. The fruits, ice, and ginger accord also somewhat remind me of pacific chill clones. Not the OG LV pacific chill, but the clones like Atralia Absolute Chill or the Rayhaan one (both of which I have) they have a similar fuzzy fruity mojito feel.

The first 2 minutes of this are refreshing citrus spice with some sort of limey-tropical fruit accord. After 2 minutes, it becomes a familiar musk with just a smidge of Ck One. Airy, slightly effervescent citrus. Then it's gone after an hour.

One of the best smelling perfumes I've smelt. Smelt it in a perfume store today and it was amazing! First thought I actually only smelt mango.. Which is actually not listed but I swear to god this is like a mango juice perfume. Scent 10/10

Possibly my favorite CK aside from Reveal. Definitely my favorite CK one. The musky and woodsy undertones add a soft weight to it that makes it excellent imo. It feels fuller, rounder, and smoother than the other iterations. Great juice
