Got a 1.2ml sample, and while it slightly breaks CK’s usual style, it reminded me of Zegna’s Z at first, then Perry Ellis’ Portfolio. I feel it’s youthful and more European than American. It might not be one of my favorites from the brand, but I think it’s good that they tried a different path.
I was gifted a 1.2 ml sample (a lancing with spray). I think it breaks the usual CK style, reminding me briefly of Zegna’s Z and something like Perry Ellis’s Portfolio. In any case, I feel it’s youthful, more European than typically ‘American’. It won’t be one of my favorite Calvin Kleins, but I think it’s good that they tried a different path.
I find it very pleasant, it’s a true eau de toilette. Fresh, youthful, citrusy, and slightly sweet. Ideal for working out. It lasts one or two hours; with sweat or heat it activates and becomes more noticeable (I use it at the gym), sillage close to the skin. Not for personal branding, more of a summer and momentary fragrance.
Why would I want a perfume that doesn’t last more than an hour? It’s throwing money away.
Very rich, but it doesn’t last long…
Fresh opening with some citrus, maybe juniper berries and yuzu, plus star anise. The initial impression was curious, I thought of something aquatic. After an hour and a half, a spicy note emerges, like white pepper or absinthe. At four and a half hours, suede and undefined woods. By eight and a half hours, lots of patchouli and cedar. At twelve hours, soft woods. I must be very lucky with my skin: long trail and over twelve hours of longevity (full 1.2 ml lancing test, late winter, 15 degrees, low humidity). Hard to pinpoint usage: it has fresh elements but the drydown isn’t fresh, and that spicy note isn’t comfortable for full summer. Best for intermediate seasons. Daytime and casual use. I never detected tobacco or coffee notes.
Do you want to throw your money away? Buy it and give it away immediately. It’s an aroma that attracts at first, but offers nothing. A perfume has to contribute something to the senses, and this is a terrible creation by CK that surely disappointed many with its marketing. Longevity: zero.

Marine, vegetal, with patchouli. Soft, discreet, and sensual.
The only consistency it has is that it smells like a unique delight: opens with tobacco and anise, then herbs, roasted coffee, juniper, suede, and closes fruity and woody. But the performance is terrible: it disappears in two hours, the sillage is non-existent, and it won’t even last on clothes. It deserves a ‘love it’ for the scent, but a ‘like it’ for the longevity.
Soft, fresh, and summery. The sillage is shy and clings to the skin, but it lasts longer on clothes. Smells clean and crisp.
Super rich, with a rare complexity in CK. Lasts all day on me with a moderate sillage. Perfect for casual spring-summer daytime wear. Sophisticated, youthful, and elegant all at once. Totally recommended.
Very rich fragrance with an unusual complexity in CK. On me, it has lasting longevity and a moderate trail. Ideal for spring and summer, daytime, and casual wear. It’s youthful, sophisticated, and yet elegant. Totally recommended.
The scent is okay, but its performance is way too poor. It’s a summer and fresh fragrance, but its longevity on me is weak and its projection is almost non-existent. I applied a considerable amount and only I could smell it; once dry, it stays very close to the skin, maybe lasting a bit longer on clothes. It’s a very expensive fragrance for what it offers. I absolutely do not recommend it and I definitely won’t buy any CK again, let alone this one.

A disappointment… it must have the weakest trail and longevity I’ve ever perceived; it doesn’t last more than half an hour. If CK EDTs are known for poor longevity, this is the prime example. Any similar fragrances? It reminds me of a Gillette aftershave. If I were to use it, I’d do it in the car; I tested it sprayed against the air vent and it performed slightly better. It runs out and I won’t buy it again.
This fresh woody EDT has fresh and spicy top notes. The heart notes evoke a very fresh green wood; I think the woods work better in cold climates. Slightly spicy, green, and young wood notes. The base notes are underappreciated because it fades before reaching that stage. It’s aimed at a younger demographic; really, it’s not romantic at all—just fresh and different, a fresh wood for summer. It’s a very clean fragrance. Longevity on my skin is around 3 hours.
I loved it from the first sniff—it’s fresh, masculine, woody, and very easy to wear. I had doubts due to reviews about longevity, but I’m very satisfied; it lasts about 3 to 4 hours, which is just right for its price. I was surprised to use it on clothes; it adds a few extra hours. Projection seems normal to me, but I enjoy scents that stay with you, especially for casual outings. I don’t know why there’s so much hate; honestly, it gave me more than I expected.

I bought it blind and it’s rich and fresh; I loved it. It lasted 8 hours on my skin with a moderate trail.
Excellent fragrance; I think it’s undervalued. I like the whole experience. It’s fresh with very pleasant green notes.
Excellent fragrance, I think it has a very low rating for its quality. I like the whole experience. It’s fresh and has very pleasant green notes.
The tap water smells better than this cologne 🤣. By the way, if it rings a bell, I bought the wrong fragrance.
It’s a good, generic scent that won’t disappoint but won’t impress either. It’s a solid daily perfume; on me, it lasts about 4 hours, but I barely notice it during that time. Perfect for the office so as not to overwhelm anyone.
I don’t get why it has such bad reviews. I bought it for the price and for daily use. It ran out super fast and I can’t find it anymore. In my hot tropical climate, the fragrance lasted until night. I loved the woody notes, especially the tobacco and coffee hints that lingered at the end. The dry down is better than the opening. If you can find it, it’s an excellent option for woody men’s scents—minimal and unobtrusive, noticeable on skin and shirt collar by night. This CK one hooked me; I didn’t expect much at first, but it earns its gold-plated price tag with its characteristics. From 6:35 AM until night, you can still smell it on you.
I don’t know why it has bad ratings. I bought it for the price to use almost daily; I finished it very quickly and can’t find it anywhere anymore. In my warm tropical climate, it persisted even at night. I loved the woody notes and those tobacco and coffee accords that lasted until the end. The dry-down is better than the opening. It’s excellent for a man who wants minimal woodiness that doesn’t bother and is noticeable on a t-shirt collar all night. This CK fragrance hooked me; I didn’t expect much at first, but it earns its price in gold. You can still smell it on yourself from 6:35 AM until night.
Got this as a gift and I liked it; it’s a pleasant scent but nothing special. It’s not annoying, though it fades quickly so I have to reapply several times. It works well for everyday wear, but I don’t think I’ll repurchase when it runs out.
Okay, I’ve had it for about two years and… it’s not much, but for everyday wear or simple situations, it’s not bad. The opening is very fresh, almost marine, then it turns into suede with coffee and woody notes. It’s a characteristic scent; it doesn’t remind me of anything specific to me, but it’s not special either. The bad part is the projection and longevity, which are disappointing. I use it at work and have received a compliment or two. I recommend not over-applying because it can become very alcoholic if you spray too much.
I’ve had it for over a year with abysmal longevity and poor sillage. This CK Free has a fresh opening with citrus notes; I’m not sure if it’s the same since I don’t know its current aroma, but it has some nice woody aromas dominating juniper berries, absinthe, a suede oak base, soft star anise, and patchouli. I don’t detect coffee or tobacco; I sprayed it about 20 times. Frankly, I liked it when I first bought it, I let myself go for it, but now I feel it’s sadly too soft and short-lived.
Terrible cologne, doesn’t last at all, and barely smells. Do not buy.
There was a batch bought in the US that lasted a long time and smelled incredible, with a lot of personality. I bought it again and it was disappointing. I don’t know if it’s a different formula, but the difference in longevity and scent was way below what I experienced before, although lately this happens to me with toilettes.
CK Free is functional, ideal for hot climates and casual moments where you want something discreet. Don’t expect it to make an impression or last long. I recommend it if you prefer something light and low-key. If you’re looking for something more durable or distinctive, this might not be for you. 7/10 ☀️🪵☕️⛱️
Fresh and a bit girly, ideal for spring and summer. Low longevity, lasts a maximum of 2 hours on my skin. I use it for everyday wear and won’t repurchase when it runs out because in my country, Peru, it’s overpriced (259 soles for 100ml); it would be throwing money away. 5/10
CK Free by Calvin Klein. Fresh perfume with cedar, cardamomo, and some coffee in the middle. Like most CK fragrances since the 2000s, it doesn’t stand out at all. Poor projection, almost non-existent sillage, and mediocre trail. Although the opening is fresh, it dissipates almost immediately. It’s clear I’m not a big fan of the brand; for me, the best ones are left behind: Obsession, Eternity, and Escape (the last two are my favorites from the house). I would only keep it if it were a gift. Rating 4/10.
The scent is okay, but like all CKs, the longevity and projection are bad. The scent lasts half an hour. DO NOT BUY.
The scent is meh. Like all CKs, the longevity and projection are poor, lasting about half an hour. DO NOT BUY.

I wore it to school and say it’s great for young people; it’s not overpowering and smells good up close. Highly recommended.
Fresh and perfect for summer. I grabbed it for the gym, so longevity isn’t a concern for me. Smells clean and pleasant, a total win for the price. 8/10
