FAQ

What does CK One smell like?

CK One is a clean, fresh citrus fragrance with pineapple, bergamot, and papaya up top, a soft jasmine and violet heart, and a gentle musk and sandalwood base. It's light, transparent, and genderless.

Is CK One unisex?

CK One was specifically designed as a unisex fragrance and was one of the first mainstream shared scents. Its clean, balanced profile works equally well on anyone regardless of gender.

Why doesn't CK One last long?

CK One is an Eau de Toilette with a deliberately light, sheer composition. Its poor longevity of 2-4 hours is by design — it was meant to be fresh and ephemeral rather than heavy and lasting.
