CK One moved in last weekend. It’s been almost a year since I used perfume, as none of the fragrances I used to wear seemed to suit me anymore, making me become intolerant to their scent. In my last attempt to find something that would feel right before starting to consider saving up for a personalized perfume, I decided to try one I have always flirted with: CK One. It’s been twenty years since Calvin Klein launched the perfume which came to define a generation, the perfume which used to be carried in record stores alongside Nirvana albums. It feels just as irresistible today. It’s unisex, subtle yet noticeable, light and fresh, and I don’t know about a long-term relationship, but CK One is certainly going to be my perfume this summer.
Have a great weekend!

It has been years since I have smelled CKone— perhaps I will take another whiff!
i can’t even remember what this smells like, but i do remember when it came out – though at the time i was more interested in going to see nirvana than wearing perfume 😉 i definitely am having a strong desire to find a perfume counter to jog my memory. my favorite perfume when i was young was bijan (i think my aunt wore it) and i still wear it today. i think it’s partly the nostalgia.
I used to always wear CKone – such a versatile, and not overpowering scent. Happy weekend sweets,
Axx
