The story behind the bottle.
CK One Summer 2009 by Calvin Klein was launched in 2009 as part of the brand’s ongoing quest for minimalist elegance and fresh, modern scents. This fragrance opens with a bright blend of cucumber, lime, mint, and bergamot, evoking the crispness of early morning dew on green foliage. The heart introduces an aquatic element with sea water and green apple, while rosemary adds a subtle herbal freshness. The base notes of lotus, rum, oakmoss, woods, and sandalwood provide a warm yet understated finish.
Apply this fragrance with two sprays to ensure that the initial burst of cucumber and lime is balanced by the deeper notes as they develop. The aquatic top notes are fleeting but refreshing, so reapply if you want to maintain that crisp freshness throughout the day.
