CK One Shock For Her

ck one shock is one beautiful fragrant. I liked it from the first spritz to the last. Sweetness pervades the opening. It's not the Pink Sugar kind of synthetic sweetness from genetically modified corn syrup, but rather a pleasant soft airy light German Rock sugar sweetness used with fine English Tea. With a dash of citrus, vanilla and chocolate gives this scent an organic kick to tickle your gourmand palate. Amber base ties the whole fragrant together to give it warmth and depth. I usually do not like citrus scents because they tend to go rancid or smell like a rotten fruit stand on my skin. Shock does it so well. I can't get enough of this scent. It could just be compatible with my skin. The downside, it's rather weak and doesn't blast beyond 2 inches off my skin. If you are looking for megablast of perfume, this is not it. It lasts about 4-6 hours on me. It is made to stay close to the body. I believe this fragrant is made for beautiful people who want to be noticed by their beauty first . They want to wear the perfume and not let the perfume wear them out. This is definitely not one of those perfume made to cover body odor. Whoever chose to wear this perfume probably has to have excellent personal hygiene and naturally healthy and clean. She doesn't hide behind heavy perfumes , wigs, extension, or 5 pounds of makeup. She probably exudes too much natural visual beauty and sex appeal already without having to resort to blasting people insects and plants down the street with her perfume. The average crowd may have a tough time pull this one off. UPDATE: I spritzed this gorgeous scent on my wool coat 2 weeks ago, and the scent still lingers when I took my coat out to wear it again during the frosty season today. This scent actually is a powerhouse of staying power. Two weeks is a long time to linger on organic fabric. It smells just as beautiful like freshly applied two weeks ago. Again, it doesn't blast on my face like chernobyl nuclear bomb. It stayed close to the coat projecting about 2-4 inches off only. made to stay close to the body. Ingenious creation! I wish more perfume manufacturers can do this.

This has been one of my favourite perfumes for years, I wouldn't say that I have a signature scent, but this is probably the closest I have to a signature. Having said that I understand that people find this a generic fruity-sweet scent, but on me it is quite special. It may also be my happy memories of this and a certain amount of nostalgia (I have loved this for almost 10 years and worn it continuously for over 9), but it really does work on me. I also get moderate sillage with this (I find it fair for an EDT) and moderate longevity on skin and excellent longevity on clothing. My skin is usually a fragrance leech and I find even big perfumes have average to poor longevity on me, which is why I find it strange that this lasts relatively well on me compared to most people. For me this starts with the blackberry and passion flower and quickly segues into the chocolate with the vanilla and musk bringing up the powdery base. Like the other Calvin Klein scent I know and love, it is well balanced and blended. I remember eagerly racing around duty free for the very first time in late 2011, excited to be in the international part of the airport and travelling and sniffing endless bottles of perfume, low, middle and high end. By the end of the trip I had fallen in love with 3 fragrances, CK One Shock Her (the advertising around this was ubiquitous at the time), Prada Candy (same, the advertising was everywhere) and CK In2U. In early 2012, I had a bit of remaining spending money in hand, it was not enough to get Prada Candy but was enough for CK One Shock or CK In2U and I had to decide. At the time this was at the tail end of my fruity-citrus phase and the citrusy but unique In2U was the natural choice, however the sweetness of One Shock Her drew me in and I walked out with this in my suitcase. This was the first of many bottles of CK One Shock Her and the beginning of my love of gourmand fragrances and I still love it today.

I’m so happy I’ve found this! I’ve been on the hunt for a new signature scent and probably tried dozens of scents recently but haven’t found The One. This might be it. It starts off fruity and fresh, a bit citrusy tart then turns into juicy wildberries and mellows out to a light vanilla whipped cream with a hint of milk chocolate in the dry down. Not synthetic at all. It’s beautifully soft, lightly sweet but that’s perfect for me as I’ve found most vanilla/gourmand scents to be too sickly sugary or powdery and others to be too floral/perfumey and I don’t like anything woody. I agree with the other reviews that the longevity isn’t great (~2hours) and doesn’t have great sillage - sticks pretty close to the skin but it’s pretty cheap for a big bottle so happy to spritz more of it throughout the day. A perfect mix of light, fresh, summery and sweet and comforting. Testing this in winter. I also love YSL Mon Paris and Chloé Nomade but they are so expensive! ***UPDATE: Bought a 200mL bottle for USD$30. Actually lasts all day if you spray on clothes, weak sillage though (2 inches). ***FURTHER UPDATE: The more I wear it the more I like it. It’s just right for me, a fresh and fruity, a little floral, soft edible milky chocolate and vanilla on the dry down. I don't get any patchouli at all (which is great as I'm not a fan). Fresh fun and also comforting. I’ve tried over 40 fragrances in the last couple of months and I keep coming back to this. I do have to reapply often but I’m ok with that, only wish it had a bit better sillage.

I really like this one! It was a blind purchase for me, so I was worried it would smell very unisex like a lot of the other CK scents. But not at all! It ́s definitely a feminine fragrance although if you ́re a man and want to wear this.. do it! =) It ́s Fresh, slightly sweet, slightly floral and after a while on the skin it warms up and I can detect some of the chocolate and vanilla. It ́s mainly a fresh fragrance though, very suitable for daytime use. Work/school whatever. =) I truly enjoy this one, bought 50ml, next time I ́m getting the huge 200ml bottle! =D Sillage and Longevity are quite weak though.. It lasts on my skin for about 2-3 hours and the sillage ain ́t heavy what so ever. It ́s soft but you definitly notice it and I feel like it leaves and slight trail of scent after me. =) SO WORTH it for me. Perfect Spring/Summer/Fall scent. It ́s fall now and I think it works perfectly because it ́s fresch and nice to use for those crisp fall days! =) RATE: 6.5/10

I really enjoy the contrast of fresh, tart, almost green fruity floral notes and sweet, creamy vanilla and chocolate in this. The passion flower stands out and gives the juicy blackberry and airy peony an extra kick. The chocolate is on the milky and light side, it reminds me of a chocolate and vanilla milkshake. In the drydown the whole composition also makes me think of chocolates with berry filling. The fragrance has a slightly synthetic and oily vibe, but I like it, it keeps CK One Shock from being boring. I don't understand all the complaints about longevity, I can smell this on me all day which is not especially noteworthy for my perfume-friendly skin, but obviously not bad. It's just not the most intense fragrance on earth, so a couple more sprays won't hurt. A happy and comforting scent, especially nice for warmer days, but I also love to wear it right now in cool spring weather.

I can't help it, I love this. Something about it is so unique to me. Yes - the sillage and longevity are poor. It lasts better than a body spray but not by much. But the scent of this is SO addictive to me. The chocolate and passion flower keep me constantly smelling my wrist. I agree with others that it's a good bedtime scent. It's so cozy. It's not overly sweet. It's youthful and girly, but in a way I've not smelled before - it has an elegance I can't place. It's tough to put in a category because it's... just not a pure floral, fruity or gourmand scent to me. It is its own thing!! Because it's not heavy or cloying I would wear this any season. This was discovered by smelling it on a stranger, a "what IS that?" moment. At the low price you can get this for, in a HUGE 200ml bottle at that - I'm very happy.

Forgot my perfume so I asked my friend if i can have a few spritz of hers. She handed me this. I immediately took a sniff on the cap and I was "shock"! I did not expect that CK will have a scent like this because it's way different from CK One, but I love it!!! It was like love at first sight! The vanilla here was different, more like cream. The sweetness was liven up by the raspberry. The thing that comes into my mind when sniffing (yes, you read that right. lol) this were strawberries and cream, but it does not smell generic. This one is more sophisticated. The vanilla and sweetness is not irritating and the raspberry just goes so well as it balances the sweetness. To those who hate scents that goes with "sweet and yummy", you ought to try this one. This might just change your mind!

I got in from a lovely Friend-Fragrantican as a gift a few days ago and she really made my day - well, not just day but a week, a month, the whole season!:))) It's a perfect summer scent which lasts forever on my skin - but it's not the typical calone type of scent that I tend to associate with summer/beach/sea - a completely different one. It's the kind of scent that reminds me of exotic drinks, sun lotion and warm breeze but not salty water, melon or anything like these. I have cacao note in most perfumes but here it is perfectly balanced with fruity and other notes, not irritating or nauseating. A work of art for me, and surprise surprise - it's Calvin Klein! For me the mood it brings on is rather Jennifer Lopez or Escada-like one. I like this type of surprises!

I love this fragrance. It's really packs a punch, is sweet yet floral. It last a fairly long time too if you spray it on clothing rather than your skin. The only thing is the dispenser. You unscrew the metal cap and the stick on a cheap-feeling, plastic disperser. The metal lid does not go back on top so it doesn't look the prettiest on your shelf. It's a nice perfume and I got it on special offer, I think if I found it going cheap I would get it again but I'm a bit of a bottle collector so don't think I would get it when the bottle is so plain and the top is so nasty. If you don't care about bottle appearance and only what's on the inside then I would recommend it if you like sweet, fruity and floral scents.

The first time i tried this perfume, it was just been released, immediately the memory of me playing with my Barbies as a child came to my mind. Of course is not the “smell of a doll”, but it truly brought me to that times of beautiful childhood. I bought it many times and it replaced Kenzo Amour from being my signature scent. I used only this perfume for 2-3 years and i loved it. Reading the comments before mine, i started to think that something must have changed. Perfumes on me don’t last, but with Ck One shock, though it’s an EDT, i never thought it did’t last enough. However, I would not be surprised, trying a new bottle, to realize that it has been reformulated and, as always, ruined.

i think i've acquired a liking for this because the first time i sniffed it i remember not liking it because it was too strong. so then i gave it to my mother because it was a blind buy. but after i kept smelling it on her i grew to love it. it's cheaper compared to a lot of perfumes but it really doesn't smell cheap at all. the drydown is just so good and i do smell the chocolate but it blended so well with all the other notes i might not buy this for myself because i have now associated this with my mother but i would say this is one of my favorites of hers (and fav one to borrow!) also i think this works for anyone no matter what age!

The chocolate/patchouli/amber/vanilla notes in CK One Shock are reminiscent of Mugler's Angel, especially after it sits on the skin for 1+ hrs. With that in mind, its not a patchouli bomb at all. It's refreshing and bright with a cozy dry down. It's well blended and youthful but not overly sweet. It doesn't last very long or project very far so I have to reapply throughout the day, which I don't mind since I got my bottle at Burlington for $20. I wear it t the office and on days when it's inappropriate to suffocate people with my Angel cloud

I may have reviewed this already but I just have to say that this is the only perfume I have bought again after finishing a bottle. My daughter always says this is the scent that reminds her of mom. And my male co-workers (who always comment the "perfume smell" after our female boss has been around) say to me that I smell nice. So this is my everyday scent. Everybody seems to like it, so it's "safe" to wear. And I just bought my third bottle. Sad that it is harder to find these days... Warm, clean, berryish, sweet and smooth.

Light and sweet. Fruity with vanilla and a hint of chocolate. To me this is perfect for a day spent listening to fun music and dancing around your house while cleaning. It’s youthful and fun. I don’t care that it’s not complex or that it’s “basic”. I have complex, great projecting fragrances for when I want that. Some days I just want to sip my iced coffee, enjoy being carefree, and be basic, and this is perfect for that. It doesn’t last long, but it’s also $20, so I’m not expecting it to.

Yes, this perfume does fade fast but I still get a few hours of goodess from this beauty! I get the mostly vague oriental fruits from this, in the best way, it is a burst of fun and nothing serious at all (obvious from the bottle) but I do see this as unique. I enjoy spritzing this when I want something easy and fun that isn't going to stick around all day. I would recommend this, don't expect anything ground breaking but do expect to feel uplifted and young :)

I was super skeptical when I blind bought this but I ADORE IT! I didn't feel fond of the idea of mixing fruit with chocolate or vanilla but wow. It definitely still has the DNA of the original CK One but sweeter/more gourmand. I personally love more indulgent scents but this allows me to where something along those lines but still works in the heat and summertime without being out of place. Reallyyyy like this, super impressed

Starts with a unique splashy floral note, has a bit of a wet and green feel for me. Quickly mellows out to a comforting sweet cocoa powder with a solid base of complex undertones. After a few hours it leaves my skin smelling gorgeous with a faint complex sweetness. It's not too strong and doesn't last a long time but the lingering skin scent is superb. Great everyday fragrance, can be layered with others as well easily.

I don't know why but I get compliments every time I use this perfume. People smell this on me though sometimes I can't smell it anymore. One time I was out with my friends and one of them commented how good I smell, and it even overpowered the cigarette I was smoking. I think this one reacts to my body chemistry really well which is good considering this is a very affordable perfume. I love it!

I should have gotten this a long time ago. This scent is so good and I found another staple. It smells modern and fun. I wish they only made it more long lasting. I love fruity scents and this one is fruity yet not overpowering. I can also detect the different levels of notes - starts fruity and drys down to chocolate scent. This is a understated perfume. I wish others would give this a try

In 2018 while on a holiday in greece my mom decided to buy a calvin klein body wash because both of us remember events by the scents. It turns out that the trip to greece now means a lot to me because i got into reading then and it changed my life. This scent reminds me of summer in a foreign country and my favorite book, what was it like to read for the first time.
