Smells amazing, but the longevity is a joke. Back in 2018, I had to reapply it like 25 times just to keep it going, and I learned that CKs don’t work with heavy-handed application; you just have to accept they don’t last. They’re only good for running to the grocery store and coming back with the scent still there.

I bought it from an importer; it came sealed and in perfect condition. At first, I thought it was pleasant, but over time it smells very soft, almost childish. I think it might work for people under 25, but it’s not my style—I don’t like it and wouldn’t buy it again.

I bought it from a friend who imported it; it came sealed and everything was fine. I liked it at first, but over time it became very soft, almost childish. I think it suits people under 25, but it’s not my style, so I wouldn’t buy it again.
Heinaro
A gem in terms of price-to-quality ratio. It opens sweet with lots of pear, but in the heart you notice vetiver, pepper, and above all suede; this is the one with the most suede I’ve ever smelled. I love it, too bad it’s discontinued.
PrismaStar
It opens a bit alcoholic, slightly sweet with acidic fruits; to me, it smells like diet gummy candy, more acidic than sweet. It’s fresh, the aldehydes are noticeable, and then it turns aromatic and spicy without losing that sweet-acidic touch. I catch a flash of suede and vetiver, and in the dry down a light vanilla note from tonka bean that makes it creamy. It’s lovely, but very soft; it needs warm (not extreme) weather to shine. Maybe there are better similar options on the market, as it doesn’t bring anything new.
Pabloufum
Sweet but with a fresh, fruity profile thanks to the pear. To me, it smells like pear and red berries, then the suede comes out, along with some wood and tonka bean. Very tasty, youthful, and informal. I see it for warm weather, summer nights… nothing for bars because it’s too quiet. Ideal for walks, late-night outings, or a date. Jeans and a t-shirt.
Adry_slim
It has no sweetness and fades in a heartbeat. I bought it because I wanted something different from the usual, but as a flanker, I ended up sticking with Shock. It lasts about an hour and a half… then it’s gone without making a splash, and I’m not sure how to finish it off.
Adry_slim
I don’t smell anything sweet, and it lasts a breath. I bought it because it was different from the original, but as a flanker, it shocked me. It lasts about an hour, passes without making an impression, and I’m unable to finish the bottle.

Sweet but subtle. I don’t usually like sweet fragrances, but I really liked this CK because it’s fresh at the same time. Interesting enough for both day and night.
YoungFragance
I like it, but it’s very synthetic, with low projection and sillage. It lasts about 4 to 6 hours on my skin, projects for barely 10 minutes, max 30, and then it’s imperceptible unless you put your nose right next to it. I’d recommend it for wearing to bed with a scent, but I’m not sure about the price; I got it for $30 (600 MXN), which isn’t exorbitant for some, but it is given its performance.
YoungFragance
I like it, but it smells very synthetic and barely projects; it lasts 4-6 hours on my skin, projecting for only about 10 minutes before becoming imperceptible. I’d recommend it for sleeping in, but at $30 (600 MXN), it’s not worth it given its poor performance.
Elvis VM
Due to its combination, I feel it’s a bit sweet with coconut touches, similar to Diesel OTB Wild. It has low projection, but its longevity is very good. I consider it a great fragrance, especially on days with light rain and humidity.
Camilo Solis
A wonderful scent, youthful for spring and summer. The pear note stands out in my opinion; it’s an excellent perfume for daily use. Too bad about its almost non-existent sillage and short longevity. Fragrance: 9.5/10 Longevity: 6/10 Sillage: 4/10 Versatility: 8.5/10
Camilo Solis
An aromatic wonder, youthful for spring and summer. The pear note stands out; excellent for daily use. The downside is that it barely leaves a trail and doesn’t last long. Scent: 9.5/10, Longevity: 6/10, Projection: 4/10, Versatility: 8.5/10.
Jhony Royce
Sweet with fresh notes, like that breeze that saves you on a hot day. Smells great and is cheap, but the downside is it doesn’t last or leave any trail.
Franciscasanchezperez
Delicious! I gifted it to my husband and I was blown away. It’s a cheerful and elegant scent, perfect for everyday wear without being overwhelming. It doesn’t smell like cheap cologne or wild party vibes; it smells like a well-groomed, serious man.
Roberto atk
I went to try it because of the dark red bottle, and I was surprised: it doesn’t smell like those typical ‘fresh waters’ from CK One. It’s very refined, reminiscent of D&G Homme, projects well, and lasts nicely. I didn’t buy it because I already had Azzaro Chrome in mind, but I think this will be my next purchase.
DePietro
I’ve been using it since summer, and it’s my type of perfume. At first, it’s sweet, but after 5-10 minutes, it shifts to a spicy citrus that lasts all day. It gives me a warm feeling and gets me going for the day. What I notice most is the pepper and citrus (probably ginger), with a very subtle sweet touch that makes it pleasant. It fades a lot at the end and stays almost skin-scent; the base notes last strongly for about 3 hours before disappearing. Ideal for daytime or evening, though it smells very little like the original CK One.

I bought this perfume this year because I love soft scents. In my opinion, it smells very good, very similar to the 1995 CK One, but with a bit more distinction.
