CK All

Calvin Klein CK All, Reviewed by the Numbers

Every fragrance review promises honesty; few bring receipts. For CK All — the 2017 EDT from Calvin Klein built on Citrus, Fresh, Musky, Floral, Aromatic — the receipts are climate scores, longevity hours and price-per-bottle across markets. They are all below, and they tell a clearer story than any list of adjectives.

A modern evolution of the iconic CK One, CK All maintains the unisex appeal with a cleaner, warmer, and more contemporary citrus-musk profile.

How CK All Smells: Notes & Development

CK All opens with Bergamot, Mandarin Orange and Grapefruit Blossom — the first impression as it hits the skin. Give it twenty or thirty minutes and the middle act arrives: Rhubarb, Jasmine, Freesia and Lily. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: Amber, Musk and Vetiver.
