CK One Summer 2010

THIS IS SUPERB!! I tried it at my fave dept. store about three weeks ago and was amazed with its CLEAN watery floral tinged fruit and woody scent with excellent herbal overtones... The top notes consist of the white winter lemon and mandarin orange; sweet and tart yet juicy and dry, combined with luscious melon and succulent sweet crispness of pear. A true fruit salad. The heart is composed of verbena (green and lemony) with lotus, (watery calm and floral)English marigold (sweet and airy) and the massive green pow! of violet leaves. A floral bouquet with a side of greens. Finishing (quite a few hours later on my freshly showered skin) on a bed of warm cedarwood, a slightly (but not overly) dirty patchouli and earthy vetiver roots... Sillage: quite decent,lt.spray=comments Longevity: average for a summer Overall: 4/5 This frag reminds me of eating in a noveau all-natural vegan restaurant and having a fresh fruit plate served on bamboo dishes and fresh flower water to drink and fragrant herbs and greens drying as a lite sweet incense burns. The floors and fixtures are from renewable wood sorces and just eating there not only makes you feel healthy and connected to nature but good about doing it as naturally as possible. This is by far the most natural smelling summer version yet. I am going to order it from the CK website soon, I think these seasonals get better with each passing year...

this is fabulous, especially the top notes, a punch of citrus blended very nice, especially the mandarin orange notes and lemon. (the best top notes on all of my perfumes), it's very hard to explain, try a shot, you'll know what i mean after few minutes. the middle notes are taking over and the notes are somehow cute, but still a bit soapy and masculine. what's funny is i don't smell any cedar in dry down, it's fresh from top to bottom, inoffensive, masculine, and it is quite distinctive, because i find some of other fresh perfumes are plain and boring, overall, i ensure that you have to pick this one if you want a warm, welcoming, summer atmosphere compliments are coming when you wear this lady (it's unisex? it's very male i think)

Out of all the CK one Summer Scents, this to me is still one of the best years. The smell itself is great, I got better longevity from this years vintage over my 2015 and my 2013 vintages, and about the same as my 2006 and 2009 vintages. Longevity is obviously not the best, but the scent is so damn amazing, I just have to always have this in my rotation. Getting ridiculously priced though on Ebay nowadays, trying to make this bottle last instead of forking over $70 to replace it. Scent:9 Longevity:4 Sillage:3 Unique/Industry First:7 Qualtiy:6

Fresh! Clean! Citrus! Watermelon! What a great and intoxicating scent. I loved it when i first tried it and its one of my favs now. I actually bought another bottle before i was halfway through with the first. Its a great "wear all day" and mixes well with other scents if you like experimenting, which i love to do. (I've gotten many compliments using it with YSL La Nuit) I feel fortunate because the top notes last on me and the transition from fruit to clean leaves the fruit lingering perfectly. The silage is way above average.

i love this juice ! lemon zest and lemon verbena all the way ! make this very delicious,and stay on my skin 6 hours +.the juice smell energy and clean, very comfort smell. Maybe the lemon verbena, that's why i love this juice so much even it is a bit soapy ? don't care ! wear it and feel nice

This was the peak of ck summer. They did these so well for 10 years or so. The last years has abandoned the good formula and is ridiculously and progressibly bad. 2020 is a joke in my opinion. This is the best, but 2011 and 2012 were good too.

i bought this fragrance for me but my husband loved it and now he wants it for himself....its really a great fragrance , i am going to buy the next bottle and this time hide it from him...lol

This years CK Summer is great,I really like it, smells really good I really recomend this. I do suggest you sample this on your skin & not a test strip.

Very refreshing. Totally sharable. Extremely citrus top notes (lemon), very aggressive in the first minutes. The drydown is more balanced.

Excellent as a "after-shower" body mist, but even better as a base for an actual fragrance.

CK One Summer 2010 was launched in March of that year to continue the tradition, which began in 2004 when the brand launched the first summer limited edition of the popular CK One. Since then, it hasn't stopped. The bottle received a warm orange paint and, if I'm not mistaken, the fragrance was created by Harry Frémont, from Firmenich. It brings, as starting notes, pear, mandarin, watermelon, and Kaffir lemon zest. Then, in the heart, we have notes of violet leaves, water lily, English marigold, and vervain. The base carries notes of patchouli, vetiver, cedar, and musk. The CK One Summer 2010's fragrance is still, until today, considered (by collectors) one of the best ever made, along with 2007, 2008, 2011, and 2012 editions. When touches the skin, CK One Summer 2010 is succulent and fruity, which already shows a difference compared to previous editions, which bet on a more citrusy and minty solution, containing a lot of lemon, bergamot, and mint on top of their olfactory pyramids. But if we take a deeper look at the history, this version took the best of the 2007 edition and was lapidated to deliver a more satisfying result. That's because, the fragrance launched in the summer of 2007 had a very similar output, but it sinned in evolution, with its iris and vanilla notes, which didn't please men because it wasn't unisex enough. In CK One Summer 2010, the initial citrus juice gains an aquatic boost, not only because of the watermelon but, above all, because of the water lily, which gives watery and more refreshing nuances. And this aquatic floral content does not bother the male audience so much, because it is supported by aromatic and fresher notes, such as vervain and marigold. In terms of evolution, CK One Summer 2010 is very linear and doesn't hold many surprises. Basically, it is an explosive and succulent starting fragrance, which gains floral and aquatic nuances when drying and ends with a light cedar loaded with musk. For some, drying is uncomfortable and the musk has many soapy facets. On my skin, that doesn't happen. CK One Summer 2010 has an invigorating aspect and average projection, but it doesn't last much longer than five hours, especially on very hot days. Still, it is a perfect fragrance for what it proposes and delivers the expected result for a summer flanker that belongs to the CK One pillar.

Very fruity indeed. Has a watery feel to it as well but I also pick up a milkyness in here, which in time affected my love for it. I loved the pear, orange, and watermelon combination over the light florals and woods but other than that, it smelled synthetic, cheap, but surprisingly not run of the mill. It was quite unique smelling but as I previously stated, that milk note I picked up on ruined it for me. Nothing truly stood out enough to make me keep it although it did serve its purpose in my summer of 2010. There's also something about this fragrance that has a wonderful cooling effect as well. I'd get around 6 hours with it, so when it wore off, I would just reapply and I'd feel invigorated! Projection was also fairly moderate. Normally these CK One summer editions tend to be quite unisex but this one is too masculine! It's a great starter summer scent perfect for any daytime casual event and anyone in their teens to mid 30's.

On initial spritz, it was driving me crazy trying to work out what this reminded me of. Then it hit me: This wasn't similar to another scent I owned or tried. Instead, this reminded me of men's cologne! It seems odd to complain about the scent being too masculine given it is intended to be unisex. However, my complaint is that while CK One (original) is a unique smell with appeal to both genders, the Summer 2010 flanker is definitely one sided/geared towards men and is very run off the mill. In saying that, I find it pleasant enough on a hot day. I wouldn't repurchase however (if the option were there.)

Hmmm. Tried this today on some test strip, really wasn't expecting to smell what it reminded me of - a slightly old fruit cake... not really sure why, it was a very odd smell though. Maybe it'll be nicer on my skin, hopefully! It did go more citrusy and soft after a couple of hours. Think it's more masculine than feminine, and doesn't feel as fresh as the 2009 edition. I am going to buy some though, just because been waiting for months for this and love the bottle! And will prob smell different on skin.

I rock this one in summer so hard!!! It is a simple citric fresh summer fragrance but it works absolutely great. It's unisex but personally I think a men can ware this stuff very confident. Is not expensive and in hot days its perfect. Longevity its 6-8 hrs on me and works amazing in hot days. Sillage is moderate good. This is not the best summer fragrance but it works great and for the price is even better. I really recommend CK One Summer 2010. 3 out of 5.

It's been rated as a summer scent but lately I've been using it everyday (and it's October already) for days when I wanna smell like or be reminded of summer. It's light, fresh and citrus-y without being nauseating. A must-have for beachy California girls :)

This one smells really citrusy at first (I like citrus, so it doesn't bother me at all), and when it dries down it smells pretty masculine. I like this perfume for daytime, and when I feel like wearing a less sweet and girly fragrance.

This is nice and sweet. Starts out masculine and the dry down is unisex. I love it. It's better than Ck one 2009.

fun, cute, yummy, clean, refreshing,sexy. that's how i describe the scent.

My absolute favorite for the summer!
