Have you worn CK All?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Espartaco

    EDIT: Two years after my first review, I bought it again. Well, I can’t stand it. It smells like a mess of sour oranges with a hint of ambroxan. It’s insidious, acidic, spicy, and has a tropical orange tone that makes my hair stand on end. I was prepared for it not to be nice at all because Calvin Klein colognes are already a bit of a joke (how many do they release a year, eighty?), but honestly, I found it pleasant. The opening is like CK One but sweetened with citrus peel and a touch of white flowers. The dry down is a citrus-floral mix that’s very summery, sitting above the classic white t-shirt scent of the original. After the blast settles, a manageable, creamy, and not cloying tangerine takes over. Finally, the grapefruit flower enters, which is like grapefruit but with the taste of tender fruit tree wood, a citrus note, slightly bitter/spicy as only tree flowers can be, with nuances of shower gel and foam, not soap. In the end, this note has an excessive presence along with the bergamot, which can place CK All more on a man’s skin than a woman’s. An innocuous and familiar perfume I’d use in spring without issues. (I forgot to mention I also smell like one of those industrial musks, dynamic and clean, characteristic of laundromats and some popular body milks).

  2. Espartaco

    EDITED. Two years after my first review, I bought it again and… I can’t stand it. It smells like a jumble of sour oranges with a touch of ambroxan. It’s insidious, acidic, sharp, and that tropical orange tone gives me the creeps. I was prepared for it to be awful because Calvin Klein colognes are already a joke (how many do they release a year, eighty?), but honestly, it seemed pleasant at first. The opening is like CK One but sweetened with citrus skin and a hint of white flowers. The dry down is powdery citrus and floral, very summery, sitting atop the classic white tee scent of the original. After the blast settles, a bearable, creamy tangerine takes over with no heaviness. Finally, the grapefruit flower enters; it’s like grapefruit but with a tender wood flavor, a slightly bitter/spicy citrus note only fruit tree flowers can achieve, with nuances of shower gel and foam, not soap. In the end, this note along with the bergamot have excessive prominence and might place CK All more on a man’s skin than a woman’s. It’s an innocent, family-friendly perfume I’d wear in spring without issues. (Forgot to mention: I also smell one of those industrial musks, dynamic and clean, characteristic of laundromats and some popular body milks).

    UNISEX FLOWER SHOP: I bought it two years ago, applied it five times, and gave it to my wife because it was too floral for me… True, it’s unisex and has a very marked citrus note at the opening with notable freshness and a characteristic sweetness of tangerine fragrances. A few minutes after applying it, the floral notes become noticeable; particularly the jasmine takes strength and leaves behind the citrus sensation. After more time, a light vetiver is perceived, not the Guerlain one, but an aquatic and soft one like Armani Prive. It works very well in medium temperature climates; you can tell it’s based on CK Everyone, a kind of fresher update of All with the DNA of the original CK One. Excellent option for spring, informal, fruity, and cheerful; if you like unisex fragrances and what you perceived in the legendary CK One, this can complement your taste. Recommended sprays: 5 to 8. Fixative rating: 8. Trail: Light. Intensity: Medium.

    UNISEX FLOWER SHOP: I bought it two years ago, used it five times, and gave it to my wife because it was too floral for me. Yes, it’s unisex and has a very marked citrus note at the start with notable freshness and a typical tangerine tree sweetness. After a few minutes, the floral notes take over, especially the jasmine, and the citrus sensation fades. Then you notice a light vetiver, not the Guerlain kind, but an aquatic one like Armani Prive. It works very well in temperate climates. You can tell it’s the base of CK Everyone, a fresher update of All with the DNA of CK One. Excellent option for spring, informal, fruity, and cheerful. If you like unisex scents and the legendary CK One, this can complement your taste. Recommended sprays: 5 to 8. Fixative: 8. Trail: Light. Intensity: Medium.

  5. Bought it at half price for 200ml after seeing good reviews on YouTube, but it disappointed me. It starts with very light, creamy mandarin and bergamot—a shy opening that vanishes in minutes. Then comes the floral heart, very feminine with lily and freesia. After an hour, it turns unisex, like creamy soap and a clean scent, lasting over six hours on the skin but with poor projection, only noticeable to those standing close. It smells exactly like L’Occitane’s Shea Soap. I’ll use it as a cologne after showering for that fresh scent, not as an eau de toilette. I expected something more citrusy with better projection like CK ONE.

    Despite being unisex, I consider it more feminine, perhaps due to those floral notes that wrap around you. I bought it blind thinking it would be similar but longer-lasting than CK One, but I don’t find any similarities. For me, CK All is more feminine. At first, there are citrus notes, then after 30 minutes they become faint and give way to flowers and powdery notes until drying out at 6 hours. The trail is moderate and longevity is about 4 hours. I get a vibe of floral soaps from the 90s. I used it a couple of times and then sold it; it didn’t work for me.

  7. Horripila

    Good feeling. It’s pleasant and clean, sharing that sense of cleanliness of Lacoste White, but it’s not the same. It gives a good relaxing experience, smells like Nivea cream with citrus, some moments bitter and others sweet. It reminds me of my childhood, those scraped knees from running… and not missing the Nivea cream my mother would rub on them. This All brought back good memories. Note: It doesn’t resemble CK One at all. I like them equally, both CK All and CK One.

    Nice feeling. It’s pleasant and clean, sharing that sense of cleanliness of Lacoste White, though it’s not the same. It offers a relaxing experience, smelling like Nivea cream with citrus: some moments bitter, others sweet. It reminds me of my childhood, with scraped knees running around… and missing the Nivea cream my mother used to rub on me. This All brought back good memories. Note: it doesn’t resemble CK One at all; I like them equally, both CK All and CK One.

  9. I love it and it’s one I’d buy again. Smells like tangerine infusion with white flowers, perhaps with a creamy touch, very clean. For the price, the longevity is decent: about 4 hours of moderate trail, then another 2 hours on the skin. I don’t see it as particularly feminine; if you like to smell clean, anyone can wear it. P.S.: It doesn’t resemble the 2021 version at all; I have both and prefer the CK All much more. The 2021 one smells like peach shampoo.

  10. notapolo

    I’m surprised by all the hate (at least here). To my nose, it smells like well-sweetened citrus (highlighting the tangerine) competing with white flowers (jasmine). It doesn’t smell synthetic or bother anyone; it’s clean, innocent, and unisex. It makes me feel fresh, relaxed, and happy. The longevity is weak, about 4-5 hours, with low projection, but for the price, it’s fine (you can find it cheaper in stores than in department stores).

  11. I love it; I’d buy it again without hesitation. Smells like a tangerine infusion with white flowers, maybe a creamy touch, very clean. For the price, the longevity is decent: about 4 hours of trail and then another 2 hours close to the skin. It’s not super feminine; if you like to smell clean, anyone can wear it. P.S.: Nothing like the 2021 version; I own both and prefer CK All by far. The 2021 one smells like peach shampoo.

  12. euFloria

    I admit it’s nice, but it doesn’t turn heads. Generally, I like perfumes with bergamot and tangerine because they last a long time, but in this case, even though I like it, I feel it’s just ‘another one’ of the crowd. I’m not sure if it’s worth the price of a CK, especially here in Argentina. It’s totally unisex. It reminded me a bit of Natura Kaiak Ultra; although it’s feminine, it also feels unisex.

  13. Gastonhee

    Yes, yes! I like this fragrance; I notice it’s quite floral and I like it much more than One and Bee. Anyone who wants to buy it shouldn’t be swayed by stupid comments; try it at a perfumery and draw your own conclusions. Fragrantica should have a filter and delete comments from people who use Axe deodorant and talk as if they were Alberto Morillas.

  14. leonyourmind

    I like it. It doesn’t smell very different but conveys freshness and cleanliness. It’s unisex; it reminds me of Light Blue Intense (women’s) but swapping the green apple for bergamot. Definitely for casual use, those quick fragrances that give you confidence to smell good. Compared to CK One, I prefer CK All: it’s more intense and less powdery.

  15. euFloria

    I admit it smells good, but it won’t blow your mind. I love bergamot and tangerine perfumes that last, but this feels like just another generic one. I’m not sure it’s worth the CK price tag, especially here in Argentina. It’s totally unisex; reminded me of Natura Kaiak Ultra, which is marketed as feminine but still feels unisex.

  16. Gastonhee

    Yes, yes! I really like this fragrance; I detect a strong floral note and prefer it over One and Bee. If you want to buy it, don’t let stupid comments sway you; test it at a perfumery and draw your own conclusions. Fragantica should filter and delete reviews from people who use Axe and talk as if they were Alberto Morillas.

  17. Audiolocion😉🐢🏡☩🎧📚

    It lasts well on my skin, but as a citrus lover, I noticed that after two hours, the floral notes dominate and I perceive it as more feminine than masculine. The initial projection is pleasant, but it’s not for a man who wants to project himself as such…

  18. I’m not much of a reviewer… but sometimes I just feel like commenting. CK All doesn’t seem good to me at all. I put it on my skin and, when I got home, I washed myself with soap to get rid of it… it bothered my throat. Either this or nothing. Nothing.

  19. I don’t usually write reviews, but this time I couldn’t hold my tongue. CK All is nothing but bad. I put it on and when I got home, I washed myself with soap to get rid of it; it bothered my throat. Either this or nothing, and nothing is better.

  20. Wunderlich

    I don’t understand how the website allows voting and commenting on fragrances that haven’t even been released yet. If Fragrantica wants to be a reference, it shouldn’t allow this, because all you achieve is ignoring the votes of other colognes.

  21. elastoria

    I bought it blind and the first use gave me a bitter scratch in my throat. I let it sit and used it again on a rainy day: that’s when the flowers came out. It became my favorite fresh scent, and I can’t imagine rain without it now.

  22. Vilmaypedro

    Haha, I can’t help but always look for the Black Lady’s reviews; she reminds me of Risto Mejide, but undoubtedly has a prodigious nose. Without hearing about it in her reviews, I knew exactly how it smelled. I love it, BLACK LADY.

  23. Ana_Jhaidy

    I love it. I bought it six or seven years ago and it’s just as good as the first time. On my skin, it’s super long-lasting and leaves a pleasant citrus scent, like lime and lemon. I’ll keep using it for work.

  24. An excellent unisex perfume, well-citrusy and fresh. It’s a shame it doesn’t last long. I’m still waiting to try CK One Essence; from what I read, it’s the same but more intense and longer-lasting.

  25. poblete.erik@gmail.com

    It’s citrusy and evolves from lemon to orange with a very prominent jasmine. Buy blind without regrets; quite the opposite. Recommended for those seeking citrus with that clean soap scent.

  26. poblete.erik@gmail.com

    It’s citrusy and shifts from lemon to orange, with a very marked jasmine. Buy it blind without regrets; quite the opposite. Recommended for those looking for citrus with a soap-like scent.

  27. Natalylopez

    At first spray, it smells a lot like the classic CK One, though it changes later. It’s as if they added several citrus notes, highlighting the orange, along with some white floral notes.

  28. Perfect for everyday wear or workouts. Smells more floral than CK One, which is my favorite. The longevity is short, about an hour and a half, then it clings close to the skin.

  29. I love it, very fresh and pleasant for everyone. Being citrusy, it shifts from lemon to orange and back to lemon at the end, always wrapped in very pleasant white flowers.

  30. metroidsoldier

    Very unisex, with citrus and floral notes like grapefruit, bergamot, tangerine, jasmine, freesia, and musk. It leaves a fresh and balanced scent for everyone.
