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.

I have 2013, 2014 and 2015, this one has the best longevity and sillage by miles!! It's brilliant, get 24 hours with this and people can smell me from about 2 feet away. It's scent unfortunately isn't quite as lovely as the others but still a good buy! It opens very watery with a hint of citrus, i don't think the citrus notes are very strong. It then dies down with a very masculine watermelon, not a juicy one! Very masculine scent, couldn't imagine a lady wearing. Scent-8.5 Longevity- 10 Sillage- 9

I am obsessed! I can't wait to get a boyfriend to share this fragrance with, haha (since it's unisex). At first it's kind of fresh in a very strong way, when you've just sprayed it onto your skin. But after a while when it's had some time to sink in it's just pure freshness, and I can't tell you how much I love it. I basically have a thing for all aquatic, citrusy fragrances, but this one tops the list. Love to CK for this! PS. I'm obsessing over the raindrops on the bottle design as well...

OMG love this!!!! Best unisex scent I own. Not very masculine at all like many CK unisex. I smell mostly citruses and maybe cucumber/water notes but no watermelon. But this is perfect anyway and I'm in love with it! Considering wearing spring and winter even! I like this so much I'll wear it every season

In my opinion, this was the best CK One Summer flanker. It smelled aquatic, fruity, and had a musk note to it. The bottle was stunning. It looked so beach-ready!

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!! They are finally bringing back the watermelon note circa 2008!!! So excited!!!!

An excellent summer fragrance ... Mid silage but it worth the money

this is an awesome grapefruit bomb

I love aquatic fragrances, so as soon as I saw the notes on this, I decided to blind-buy it. I'd actually decided not to buy any more CK perfumes because I either don't like them, or they smell too similar. This is the fourth perfume I've bought in the CK line. I loved CK One until everyone started wearing it. Escape was much too strong for me and I simply can't stand Truth. I'm so glad this Summer 2013 edition did not disappoint me. The bottle is beautiful. I love the color blue and the water drops add a lovely element to the bottle. As was the case with One, I like having the option to dab or spray. This is quite a citrusy scent. With citrus scents, some perform better on my clothes rather than on my skin. This one opens, develops, and dries down beautifully on my skin/pulse points. It's clean, fresh, and inoffensive, as long as you don't use a heavy hand with it. The longevity wasn't as great as I expected, but then again I used a light hand. That being said, I advise against spraying liberally to make it last. Buy an atomizer and lightly top up your wrists during the day. Since you wash your hands a few times during the day to include your wrists, you're pretty much washing away the fragrance. Use a fragrance-free (or lightly fragranced)hand lotion then spritz your wrists. The scent will perform at that fresh, sprayed-in-the-morning level. I don't ever re-spray any other part of my body during the day as changes in body chemistry will change the way the fragrance performs and smells. Overall, I like it and plan to use it this summer, but I don't see myself re-purchasing it.

This is one of those perfect unisex scents- it really doesn't fall on one gender over the other. That said, it smells exactly like a deodorant or cologne my other half had years ago- we can't place which one, but that aquatic with citrus and cucumber combination triggers our memory of something he had before. It's very fresh, clean and sporty. It has moderate staying power, I spritzed it on before I left the house around 3 and could still kind of smell it on my wrists when we came home around 1 in the morning. It's a great summer smell; I'll definitely use up my tester, but I don't think I'll actually buy a bottle. There's nothing that really stands out to me and screams "you need me!" Especially since we know we've had something like this before and weren't attached enough to it to remember what it was. Bottom line: If you're in the market for a trendy summer scent and you really like sporty/aquatic fragrances, go for it. If you're waiting for something special, keep looking.

Unisex on the slightly masculine side, but I think it's a great scent also for girls on hot summer days. Starts off with a good, aquatic melon, moves on to a musky phase which very nice. Good sillage. If I lived in a hot country I think I would get this, but I don't think rainy UK will do it justice. Would still be a good allround scent for guys I think. (Edit: Damn you oakmoss! This was swell on my skin until 2,5 h when the oakmoss started to take over... had to scrub it off. Bad chemistry).

If you want a casual, light, simple spray n' go to get you through the hot summer months while you smell fresh and energized then you can't go wrong with CK One Summer limited edition for 2013. Considering it's unisex it would be perfect for summer holidays where you could take a one bottle and by doing this you save space and share it with your loved ones it's like killing two birds with one stone. Now that's what I call a hell of a review, now shower me with your balloons.

My father gifted me this from his collection in 2013/14 as one of my first perfumes. I used semi-regularly throughout the months of spring and summer. The notes here are all very good and smell like summer from what I remember. I do recall it being weak in terms of sillage and longevity, but at the time just kind of threw it one. So perhaps this is just modern me thinking that, and if I were to smell it again would think different.

Love at first smell. I like this perfume, and I don't think it's too masculine. The dry down is actually more on the feminine side. This is really refreshing, I get the citruses and the cucumber the most. If it was a drink I would definitely drink it. The longevity is very impressive, 12 hours and I can still smell it. Great summer scent for a cheap price. :)

I only tested it in the store... and at the beginning, I loved it. You can feel the apple falling down the waterfall accords - which is an incredible scent. You kind of fall in love with the fragrance. But then, after you get home, after around 20 minutes, you realize that the apple and cucumber have mutated into a cheap soap from the 90's.

I had expected something marine and salty. But this smells like an ice cold fizzy drink to me. Very sweet, very bright and very fruity. I thought it was more of a yellow colour than the blue flanker it came in, based on the smell of it. The bottle itself has embossed blobs that resemble water droplets. Very cute. I'm eyeing this one.
