The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Calvin Klein, CK One Gold is an aromatic woody fragrance crafted by perfumers Pascal Gaurin and Bruno Jovanovic. The composition opens with a vibrant interplay of fig and bergamot, creating a fresh and fruity top note that gives way to the herbal nuances of sage and neroli. At its heart, jasmine and violet add a subtle floral sweetness before settling into a base of guaiac wood, vetiver, and patchouli, which ground the scent with earthy warmth.

How to wear it

CK One Gold has moderate longevity and intimate sillage. Apply two sprays to pulse points for optimal wear throughout the day. The scent blooms best close to the skin rather than filling a room, so aim for discreet application.
