CK One Summer 2019

CK One Summer 2019 was one I skipped on for several years. Then I found my love of unisex fragrances through getting CK Everyone. I stewed on getting CK One Summer 2019 due to the similarities and then said, what the Hell? I got one and it is a great purchase. CK One Summer 2019 is the "This is brillant, but I love this" meme of fragrance. It is basically the prototype to CK Everyone and honestly is a better smelling fragrance than CK Everyone. CK One Summer 2019 is basically two CK Everyone sprays to 1 Ed Hardy Love & Luck (for men) sprays. That said it also smells like a number of other fragrances (as I already mentioned.) CK One Summer 2019 opens with a citrus and watery note opening. I can't distinctly tell you what citrus it is, but I do think it is orangy as others have. The mid gives the CK Everyone matcha tea accord and it is distinctly similar to CK Everyone's. The base is where IMHO, we see the most difference to CK Everyone. I really just get the driftwood woodsy note. Now I think this is due to the fact that the musk and amber is a common skin scent drydown while driftwood is not. CK One Summer 2019 is not unique but I do enjoy it because I love the type of scent that it is. A citrus aquatic. As mentioned before CK Everyone is nearly a carbon copy of it, but swapping driftwood with cedar. Ed Hardy Love & Luck is another scent with another similar scent profile to my nose. Calvin Klein even double downed with this idea in 2019 with the similar smelling Eternity for Men Summer release (which to my nose smelt like a more sea salty take on Love & Luck.) Zara also has a pair of releases (perhaps more but that is debated since at most it is note swaps) with similar smells. Blue Hole (their Dior Homme Cologne clone), Vibrant Leather Cologne, Vibrant Leather Summer and Vibrant Leather Eclat de Bergamot (their Vibrant Leather Cologne with a mandarin orange open.) That said, as mentioned earlier, I do love CK One Summer 2019. CK One Summer 2019 doesn't perform that great, but it is common with CK One, let alone Calvin Klein fragrances period. CK One Summer 2019 lasts about four hours tops. I find it is a fragrance that projects OK. That said, it means it can work in work and causal settings during summer and even warmer spring days. CK One Summer 2019 is a slightly masuculine leaning unisex fragrance. I do however think that CK Everyone is a bit more usable in Spring and even Fall. CK One Summer 2019 I find as a 7.8 out of 10 and my favorite of the CK One flankers I've smelt. I do have to get a back-up bottle of it, similar to 2020. I fully enjoy it and want it to last. Even with my amount of fragrances, I see myself wearing this easy going dumb reach a lot in summer and re-spraying it several times throughout the day.

I blind bought this months ago because I love the original CK One, like many of us do, and it sat in my collection unbothered because it is very light and could not smell anything after spraying in my wrist. Finally I decided to solve it by overspraying like I don't usually do ( I usually only use 2-3 spritz of fragance in my wrist and hairline and that's it) and I found using 6-8 sprays is the solution. I am left swimming in a full morning of fresh, green, sunny, aquatic, green leaves bliss. I really love this scent so much, I will surely buy a couple of back up bottles. I don't think I can smell the driftwood, but as other commenter remarked, that is a concept and not a note per se. It makes me so happy it makes me think of travels, sea, clear sky and wind in your face; truly almost perfection to me. Try it if you enjoy cool, relaxing, fresh fragances; I think this is true to the concept and is 100% unisex.

The best in Summer Collection, it smells like green tea, so take this in mind. What it did to me - this is the best sport fragrance if you want to go to the gym and still stay fresh and not stinking like you have never taken a shower. It is the best beach scent someone can imagine because we are sick of all coconut sunscreens. Take it until it is on the market. The scent - absolutely masculine, no doubts about it, to be unisex is very controversial. No comparisons with Everyone or Green Tea, nothing to do with it because it has no citruses, fortunate for me. No apples or fruity notes, no musc, it is all about green tea and wood. Overall: I have 5 bottles unpacked because I know it is limited edition and I will keep it so close. I love it. Everyone makes compliments and everyone loves it BUT on the skin, not the bottle. Try it, that's it

Eternity Summer 2019 (women's) has been my summer scent and while last year's version was similar the longevity just wasn't there. I also didn't see a 2021 release when I saw this in Kohls (at an awesome price) I had to pick it up. I have read previous reviews so this was always in the back of my mind as a possible purchase but the price sealed the deal. So essentially this was a blind buy for me and one I am very happy with! I was afraid that this would be too masculine for me but I really enjoy it. It is a nice refreshing scent! I pick up a lime scent (well to me it smells like lime) but perhaps that is the aquatic note that I am picking up. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a refreshing non-offensive scent!

Admittedly, I love CK One Summer editions, some more than others, but I can’t think of a single one I’ve disliked. While 2019 is not my favorite, it is a solid edition and a solid addition to my collection. Tea notes usually aren’t my favorite, but here, the fizzy fresh tea note with the driftwood note makes for a lovely beachy wood scent, and I adore wood. I like it in my fragrance; I like it in my wine; I like it on my dash and steering wheel; I like it in my...ahem, well, you get the point. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with this one for the summer. And the stickers to add to the bottle if you’re so inclined are a cute, nostalgic touch.
