Light and fresh scent, like a mojito with rum, perfect for all day. It’s a younger cologne, lasting about 3 hours at most, so you need to reapply often. It’s not very bold and gets lost among stronger perfumes, so it’s only for hot days. I prefer this flanker over the original, but its biggest flaw is that it fades instantly with a weak trail. Many CKs suffer from this, but it smells good and reminds you of a mojito. I won’t buy it again due to these issues, though if it were stronger with a better trail, I’d get it back. Until then, I won’t miss it much.
Darkbeat
Fresh and pleasant, youthful vibe, summery and cheerful, perfect for hot days. The opening is citrusy, effervescent, and spicy; the blend of bergamot, cardamom, and mojito smells great. Gradually, the liquor appears, creating the illusion of a fresh cocktail, and then a sweet woody touch emerges in the background. This phase lasts longer, and finally, a base of patchouli and sandalwood remains, sweet, ambered, and woody. It smells nice, unpretentious but effective. It’s for young people looking for something fresh without complications. Moderate longevity and projection, logically. Ideal for warm climates and daytime. If you’re seeking something fresh, simple, and affordable, it’s a good option.

Good fragrance. I don’t think it’s made for a specific age, although it might appeal more to young people aged 20 to 25. I’m sure the patchouli and sandalwood (base notes) dominate the rest of the day. I started using it in autumn and see no problem in continuing to wear it in winter.
