Launched in 2015, CK Free Energy by Calvin Klein is an aromatic spicy fragrance that captures the essence of modern minimalism and classic style.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to each wrist and neck. The citrus opening is vibrant but fades within an hour, so it's best worn during daylight hours when you want a fresh, energetic vibe.
