In 2011, Calvin Klein reclaimed ck One to bring it up to date, and ck One Shock for Him was born.

The warm, spicy notes of ck One Shock for Him

It was perfumer Loc Dong who was tasked with creating this highly distinctive fragrance. His brief was to bring out an unmatched level of dynamism from this composition. ck One Shock for Him thus takes flight on very fresh notes of cucumber, an ingredient rarely used in perfumery. This is then paired with juicy clementine as well as red bull accords. The spicier heart pulses with black pepper and cardamom. Black basil then serves as a transition toward a highly virile base. This is made up of tobacco leaves, amber, musk and patchouli for an ultra-sensual sillage. As for the bottle, it is lacquered in glossy black, engraved with the word Shock in highly visible fluorescent green letters. This, of course, refers to the rebellious side of this young male generation.

Building on the success of ck One in 1995, Calvin Klein revisits its legend to bring it into today's world. ck One Shock for Him is a warm, spicy masculine fragrance. It depicts the energetic, even rebellious side of today's younger generation. With a bottle that could not be more dynamic, Calvin Klein delivers another major success here.
