Is it Necessary?
In recent years, it seems that two trends have emerged, both of which I can't quite relate to: the relentless push to release a summer fragrance every year for a season and, if possible, to derive a Light/Night/Intense/Summer/Fresh or whatever edition from each fragrance. Strangely enough, all these variations have only a limited connection to the original scents. However, it has become a true sport to sniff out all possible similarities or analogies. Well, I consider each fragrance as a standalone creation and evaluate it accordingly. Yet, I can't completely avoid making small comparisons...
I'm not a big fan of summer scents, but I couldn't pass by CK One Summer 2012, neither the packaging nor the spectacularly low price. Unfortunately, there was no tester around...
A fresh lime green greets you, accentuated by red lettering and a cap, along with the broken structure of the bottle that immediately brings to mind shattered ice. Coooooool!
CK One opens just like always, namely fresh. This time, however, in a limey-minty way. Aquatic notes like cucumber follow quickly, before the red apple stands out. A red, American apple, something that is neither grown nor sold here in Europe, something we all know from Disney's Snow White. That's how you entice a nose! Later, soft, sweet, and woody notes come in; I suspect sandalwood and rum. I read driftwood, but fortunately, I am spared from memories of rotten driftwood. Both fragrances bear the CK One label, but I can't detect any similarities aside from the woody-fresh classification.
The drama with fresh scents is usually their longevity, but I find it surprisingly good here at just under six hours. Because soon it becomes clear what price has been paid for this longevity: the scent smells quite artificial after a short time, and I don't just mean the American plastic apple. Memories of those unpleasant toilet freshener stones take hold and won't let go. Even a few days of break don't drive this mental imagery away. Time to find the fragrance a new, lovely home!
What a pity, Calvin Klein has put together some nice scent accents for his 2012 summer fragrance. Unfortunately, far too synthetic. Not necessary!
Let's hope for 2013...
