CK One Summer 2011

I will never understand these Perfume Company or Retail End Marketing practices...my only REAL perfume counter in my small town got this as a tester but NO stock for sale?!? Now, according to my "best girl", it is far too late in the season for us to get any summer flankers, at all! *sighs* The same thing happened with Le Male 2011, and Eternity Summer (men's and women's), so now they will all end up in some drawer, or in a dark back room at the store; and no one can buy this beauty...and a beauty it is! I was a bit skeptical of the notes listed as they seemed like a "mish-mash" of earlier editions, and the flacon being tri-colored only added to my fears...but, lo and behold...this is gorgeous! It has "citricity" but is not overly biting or zesty (the tangerine and light lime are exquisite) and I do not get the melon ("calone") so much, as a supremely satisfying fern note (like real lush ferns growing outside in the woods or in a cool wooded area). There is a slight sweetness, but nothing too sticky or saccharine. As it begins to evaporate, I get the freesia (somewhat warm and powdery floral) and the rhubarb blends seemlessly with the lush fern to make something just a bit different from all the other ck One summers, but still comfortably familiar. Warm subtle greens and and more of a "marine" breeze (rather than actual "watery" notes) swirl about and never "crowd" the central theme here. The drydown takes a nice cedar note, rubs it with musk adds a twist of soft fruitiness and tops it off with a dollop of incense smoke, intruiging and not oriental or dark, just enough. All in all, THIS summer flanker is (IMO) worth buying and considering the longevity (better than last years, by far) and that the price for a 100 ml EDT has only gone up two US dollars...this is a "getter" and a "keeper" for sure!! Sillage: quite good Longevity: very good Overall: 4.25/5 This is still available on the companies web site (for now); and as soon as I can, I am SO getting one! I have a plethora of cK scents already and am usually am quite skeptical of seasonal flankers (also SPORT, ICE and EAU FRAICHE, etc...) but THIS has to be smelled and (if you are like moi) owned. It is at once FRESH, cool, bright and lushly green with just enough florals and vegetal notes to intruige but NOT smell just like everything else out there. I can almost swear I get a lotus or water lily note hanging around in the background. Yes...it is mass market; and YES it is summery, however it IS very nice!!

This sounds, to me, like they took basenotes from 06, and some notes from 08 (heart)and 10(top and heart) and a twist of 2009 version...a rainbow is an excellent analogy!! I guess it is true, there is nothing new under the sun! Still I will definitely try this and report back, as soon as it is available on the Counters. Usually, the summer releases hit the stores around early April...

I absolutely LOVE this particular edition of CK SUMMER! It is my all time favorite, I am so sad I cannot buy it anymore...! The other versions of CK summer do not even come close to this one. A one of a kind! So perfectly fresh and sweet at the same time. A perfect summer fragance. I will never like a perfume so much anymore. I could wear this all my life!

It's hard to be consider between 2011 and 2012 version but finally I got 2011 version. First of all the bottle is cool. And I can't remember how long that I'm looking for a smell like this. I'm not a huge fan of CK summer but prefer Eternity summer. This one got my money.....Again. Love peach and incense.

If it's hot, you need to have this fragrance. It smells like a daikiri on the rocks, lemony, fruity scent with an unique freshness that keeps you cool even when all around you is melting. A great option for this summer, and also has good projection and longevity. And the bottle is amazing!

My go to of last Summer. A day of doing nothing important this is what I reached for. Fresh citrus scent, unisex yes but could possibly be put on the more masculine side of the scale. Not that I mind that I still love the scent.

am getting this fragrance at the weekend but i've smelt it before. really cool lemony fresh. plus the BOTTLE'S ARE AMAZING !!!. i want them all. GO ONE SUMMER !!

I'm totally addicted to this right now. I wanna wear it every day! It's SO fresh and cool, it feels so good on my skin! Perfect for hot summer days.

cK also states you should apply up to 4 to 5 sprays with this fragrance. lather up. great with an extremely large bottle!

its a shame is limited edition :(. oh well. this is why we have amazon and ebay

Nice, pleasant, subtle and perfect for a sunny day.

I am in love with these Summer ones- pun intended! I am collecting what I still can pheasibly-I am not paying an arm and leg for the much older years. If I LOVE it, it will be bitter sweet anyway! First off I will say I have 2015-2011, this being the oldest one, but newest to me. I started collecting backwards, with 2014 being my first and very favorite year! It is the most feminine out of all the years I have. It's def 50/50-a truly unisex scent! It might even be too feminine for some fellas!! I don't know how feminine the years 2010-2005 were, but for unisex fragrances the rest are all a little more masculine about 60/40. The water, mint, watermelon, and cucumber notes (each have at least one) are what make them wearable for ladies. I LOVE them, but I have always loved wearing polo sport and other aquatic men's fragrances once in awhile anyway. If you love the smell of a man so much you wear those scents EVER, you'll love this line! If you love most citrus scents, you'll love this line as well. This particular scent is nice, very citrus and aquatic, but the kicker in this scent of me is the fern. It's def a more green scent that the others because of that! It makes this one unique, as well as the awesome bottle! The 2015-2013 bottles were all more similar in color schemes, so this one stands out for that reason as well! They are going quick, this is the oldest year I was able to get reasonably! eBay is still rocking them, so don't hesitate!

This CK One Summer is more like a Aromatic Fruity to me. It is like a fruity cocktail drink party here. I get a lot of melon, some tangerine, some tangy rhubarb, and sweet peach with a drop of zesty lemon. Then the scent gets slightly green (but not aquatic) and still stay fresh and fruity, but then it gets a tiny bit plasticky as well. I don't think I get an incense here or anything that is obviously woody. It can be easily worn by anybody. For a summer scent, the staying power isn't all that great. Think of it as a vacation, it doesn't last but it's all good time while it does. I spray it all over my both arms and it lasts about 3 hours max on my skin. Anyhow, I am looking forward to collect one, what a beautiful collectible bottle, at the right price.

I love the way it keep balance between boy and girl. Totally the unisex fragrance. Any way, I don't know why the longevity is only 3 hour max on me. After 2 hour, it's really really hard to find the smell. Haiz, love the smell, hate the longevity. Recommend not to buy or pay too much appreciation on it. U should give a try to Swiss Army Alttitude instead, it will amaze you. CK house is always dissapointed about the longevity. Hope that the CK house understand the only bad side of the CK fragrance is LONGEVITY!!!! >.

A lot better than I had expected. This is a re-hash of the zingy lime in cK One Electric, however this one lasts a bit longer and has more depth to it. It also has more of a "beachy", "aquatic" feel if that's what you want to call it. I'll probably buy this one for the summer and wear it in place of Electric, because this is a better alternative considering how Electric is discontinued.

This smells pleasant, I can see a dude or chick pull it off easy; so it is thoroughly unisex, it is quite linear(which isn't bad since it smells good), I don't have a problem with longevity and it's a cheapy, I don't see why not.

Oh cool I have been waiting for a similar version of the CK Summer One 2006 which I LOVED!!!

Too much citruses, smelled like car freshener! But still better than the 2010 version

This was a great one, but men in store hated the bottle due to the colour scheme.

i love this i just got this last weekend perfect and it lasted long to my skin
