Calvin Klein launched CK One in 1994, an Eau de Toilette designed for men and women alike, composed by Alberto Morillas and Harry Frémont of Firmenich. Its citrus, green tea, and clean musks, its frosted bottle by Fabien Baron, and Steven Meisel’s black-and-white campaign made it the scent of a generation.
A frosted, satin-finish glass bottle with simple lines, designed by Fabien Baron for a perfume that belongs to no gender.
Fabien Baron, creative director of the first campaign, also designed the CK One bottle, in satin-finish glass with simple lines. Ermano Picco remembers its soft transparency, and Rebecca Fearn the frosted glass, as at home on a dressing table as at the bottom of a bag.
Alberto Morillas says he immediately felt the bottle expressed the fragrance itself: minimal, honest, and modern. For him, the design reinforced the idea of a democratic, unisex perfume, meant to pass between everyone rather than belong to one gender.
Today the house presents it in a matte finish, in minimalist, recycled packaging, and notes that it can be sprayed or applied like an aftershave lotion.
