HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006 by Calvin Klein, CK One Summer 2006 is a vibrant and refreshing fragrance that embodies the essence of summer. The composition opens with a burst of melon and mandarin leaf, followed by lemon and lemon verbena, creating an invigorating citrus-aromatic accord. This freshness gives way to a heart of freesia and rhubarb, adding a touch of sweetness and green notes. A base of peach, incense, musk, and cedar grounds the scent with warmth and depth. CK One Summer 2006 is a true unisex fragrance that captures the carefree spirit of summer.
Apply this fragrance lightly — the fresh top notes are bright and immediate, while the warmer base notes develop over time. It’s best for daytime wear when you want to feel refreshed and energized.
