CK One Summer 2013

I'd like to think I didn't find my new favorite scent; it found me. I had wanted to try these limited CK One Summer scents when this year's edition caught my eye in a display at Macy's. It drew me in, to the tester, and from the first spray it had my heart in a way that very few perfumes have. It must have known that it would be right for my body chemistry, because it develops so perfectly and stays on so long. It seems I have had more success with it than a lot of other reviewers, because I never got a hint of that synthetic or musky shampoo vibe that people have been mentioning. For me, it's hours of watermelon and cucumber that don't even really change, they just fade slowly. The citruses are a sweet, slightly feminine citrus, never sour or bitter. It is a little bit sweet but all cool, shimmering and dewy-fresh, as if the hotter the weather the better it will get. Though definitely not for fall nights, I wouldn't even call this a scent that's OK for spring, because it's almost begging for wear in the heat, alongside oceans and cool drinks. I could not get it out of my mind until I went and got two bottles, and I can see myself getting even more so I never have to worry about running out once they stop producing this edition. How lucky I feel to have taken the chance to try THE scent of the summer. I hope others will too.

CK One Summer for the year of 2013, is until now, the most ungeneric fragrance for summer I ever smelled. Just the bottle, like my fragrantica brother blacklibran1, makes you want to buy it already, without testing it. I mean, this is really a beautiful bottle, of course, equal to last year's edition, but the torquoise looks much better. The fragrance itself is really appealing. It opens with aquatic notes but I can already smell the watermelon, which makes this fragrance mouthwatering. I felt a little of the cucumber in the drydown but I can't fell it no more. It has been right now 5 hours since I tested it, and I can still smell it. Good for the initical warm days of Summer, ideal for the months os July and Agost. My grade for this one is a 8.4/10. Give a try :)

An amazing bottle design, turquoise with the water droplets covering it, just great summer vibe bottle. I didn't really care about the juice just wanted the bottle! The scent is nice not a stand out frag but a nice light fresh fruity aquatic with a subtle musky dry down, it's no game changer and many will turn away due to the fact its a flanker or slightly generic. But i believe the CK One summer flankers are good and they always seem to change it up each year and are affordable and well done! there's not much too dislike! it's a pleasant unisex scent just to wear casually in the summer heat and it's good for that. Longevity is poor 3-5 hours max projects well for 1-2 hours but overall a crowd pleaser and a solid summer flanker. Get it 2013 or not 7/10

I bought this while traveling in the summer of 2013 in a London airport. I smelt it and loved it. It was my first actual "expensive" fragrance my parents bought me for my birthday. I loved it so much a few years ago my mom bought me 2 more bottles and I fear I'll have to open my last one soon because I haven't found anything quite like it. It brings up so many memories and goods times! Sorry I can't give more info into the actual scent. It just feels fresh and clean like a tropical spa. I'd love to find a dupe for this!

This is a good summer scent! The evolution is quite smart: if you spray it on in the afternoon, you'll be refreshed. By the evening, when the air cools off, you can enjoy the cozy musky dry down, that says: I've been out in the sun the whole day, I've swum, dried up in the sun, I moved and I rested, my body feels completely satisfied and relaxed, now I'm ready for some late night contemplation. It's nice! Not in an oh-my-god-what-the-hell-is-this-spiritual-experience kind of way, but it works very well nonetheless.
