Promises, but doesn't deliver

CK Free is a fragrance that promises so much, yet delivers so little. The notes in the pyramid look absolutely amazing; however the scent in the bottle bears little to no resemblance to those notes. That said it's not actually a bad fragrance. It's clean, light and fresh. Unfortunately it's also very generic and very run-of-the-mill.

I'm happy to set this one free

I'm a little shocked by looking at the notes listed here. CK Free doesn't smell as unique as its composition.

I'm in agreeance with the other reviewers, CK Free is very bland and boring. It's missing something that makes it stand out from the rest of the male scents on the market.

CK Free is not unpleasant, I find it very wearable, however it has a very citrusy and fresh edge that is starting to become a little overdone in the fragrance industry. I don't see citrus listed here in the notes, but I swear I can smell some bergamot and lemon with an almost aquatic type note.

The woods are not very prominent. In fact, the oak and cedar are so subtle that they could be easily dismissed. More in the way of the juniper berries, coffee and patchouli would have given this fragrance an interesting touch and would have made this fragrance far more complex than it is.

All in all, CK Free is a pleasant Summer scent that just hasn't managed to reach the mark with me.

Easy to Wear

It is a nice fragrance, easy to wear, Fresh, Clean and Woody. It smells so good and very pleasant with reasonable price. In my opinion, It is better than the most of perfumes has been launched in 2020 and 2021 that has been crap. It opens up with like fresh , slightly spicy green and leather notes in the background then dry down is green woody. This is perfect for the spring and summer. I really enjoy it and I like CK Free for Men by Calvin Klein. Longevity is average.

Free Soul

A light, cool, cozy, casual, masculine, and refreshing summer daytime fragrance. If you read about the perfume's ingredients before smelling it, you might imagine it's a dark, wintery fragrance.
A fragrance that is accepted by everyone and is not annoying. If you cannot love it, you certainly will not hate it.
The scent is dominated by juniper berries, followed by a balanced blend of star anise, jackfruit, suede, cedar, and woody notes.
One of the biggest drawbacks of this fragrance is its poor sillage projection and not being a long-lasting fragrance. Performance is at best two hours. This limitation can be overcome by increasing the spray dose. To be honest, I didn't find any synthetic scent in any of its stages, from the opening to the drydown stage.
The bottle design is very unique and attractive. The price is very reasonable and affordable for everyone.
Final word: If you are a fan of CK fragrances and love CK Truth fragrance line, you will definitely like CK Free.

Teenager fragrances

bought in 2014 thanks to an advantageous price offered by my works council. I had already discovered it in the summer of 2009 at the sephora at the Gare de Lyon in Paris.

it is a light summer fragrance, fresh aquatic and synthetic, ultimately quite banal. even if it is really pleasant in the evening. I liked it at the time because I had not yet discovered so many nuggets in perfumery.

With hindsight, I tell myself that it is much more suitable for a young teenager, for his first perfumes.

It seems to me that it is no longer marketed in France.
