Essence of what?!
“CK One Essence” is a tasty bore. Zesty blood orange paired with the most classic, neutral “CK One” DNA. Everything is super subtle and quiet. That’s okay. It’s wearable. But somehow, there’s a lack of that certain something at every corner…
Zesty, fresh, clean, unisex. Over time, it becomes slightly creamy-skin-like, almost leaning towards a very, very subtle sunscreen. That’s it. One shouldn’t expect miracles. It does its job. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Not even a spoke. It works. After a shower, during sports, for changing rooms and leisure. The 90s have been making a comeback for a while now, culturally replacing the 80s. “CK One Essence” hits this note and plays it extremely safe. I don’t see an essence of anything here, no matter how hard I try. Bestsellers smell different. Because too much “lowest common denominator” doesn’t create a major breakthrough anywhere. The blood orange as a minimal-modern “kick” can hardly be called a “kick.” And it’s seriously lacking in character and uniqueness. Especially with the shiny appearance and the title “Essence,” one expects more of everything than what is delivered here…
Bottle: silver, shiny, not bad
Sillage: subtle when it’s burning
Longevity: 5 hours, at best
Conclusion: not outstanding - even compared to the many other CK Ones… Never stinky, but a pretty nondescript freshy. It falls in line.
