Not the typical CK fragrance

Eucalyptus… it really makes a difference. First time smelling I was intrigued by this unknown and very strange note. It made the whole scent smell like watermelon. I must say that I found it so interesting that I bought it. I have not worn it a lot of times since but this does not mean that it is a bad fragrance. It is close to your skin, and it lasts for 4-5 hours. And the scent is lovely. I think it is a great contribution to the perfume world.
The top is a softly smelling bouquet of flowers. Very understated and delicate. It takes you gently into this strangely smelling eucalyptus note which is accompanied by jasmine and blackberries. We stay there for a couple of hours and finally we hit the base - lovely sandalwood and tonka bean with a whiff of musk. All in all a well composed fragrance. Beautifully done by Ann Gottlieb.
The bottle is somewhat in the same spirit as a lot of other CK scents - but this has more character. I adore the minimalistic metal cylinder, which adds attitude to this - almost male impression - and the colour of the juice is so well fitted to this product. This is not a winner - it is an outsider with loads of potential.
