CK One Summer 2005
by Calvin Klein
CK One Summer 2005 is a bright, uplifting summer fragrance with a strong citrus and fruity opening of kiwi, mandarin orange, peach, and pineapple, creating a playful, tropical atmosphere. It evolves into a soft, floral heart dominated by frangipani and lily-of-the-valley, with a subtle sweet and fresh base that includes musk and woody notes. The scent is light and airy, designed for warm weather and casual wear, with a delicate presence that feels refreshing rather than overwhelming. Despite its somewhat synthetic character noted by some, it remains widely cherished for its nostalgic, beachy vibe and joyful energy. It’s perfectly suited for daytime use, especially in summer, and is appreciated as a unisex scent that bridges masculine and feminine freshness.
