Margarita meets pina colada--sweet, salty, boozy, fresh
Calvin Klein CK One Summer 2014 is probably still the most popular / hyped CK One Summer version in recent memory, no doubt due to it being one of the best, a margarita-meets-pina colada mix that features a mix of citruses, coconut, tequila, sugar, florals, and woods. It’s fresh, a good balance of salty and sweet, slightly boozy and fruity, with some savory undertones. Certainly it feels most appropriate in the daytime during warmer weather, but it’s refreshing and awakening any time.
It compares to Tommy Bahama Set Sail St. Barts well, though St. Barts is a bit sweeter, leaning into the coconut more, whereas CK One Summer 2014 is a bit saltier, referencing the margarita somewhat more.
It performs moderately, but that’s fair, given that the price point was reasonable, especially on the secondary market, though I’m not sure how easy it is to find a bottle nowadays.
Overall, it’s quite nice, and I’d recommend nabbing a bottle if you would like a slightly saltier alternative to St. Barts.
