Where to buy
Likewise, certain visionary creators have given rise to new trends over time. This was the case with Calvin Klein when he created the CK One fragrance in 1995. It paved the way for unisex fragrances and managed to win over a very large audience. Thus, CK2 is nothing other than a modernized reinterpretation of this emblematic juice.
The androgynous origins of CK2
Twenty years ago, Calvin Klein created a real shockwave in world perfumery. Indeed, this creator drew inspiration from the closeness between men and women by observing his children, in order to create a fragrance at the border of genders. Thus, he set aside cultures, trends and sexes, and celebrated a way of life where the group triumphs over the individual. This is how CK One made its appearance, becoming a true icon of perfumery. While it managed to win over an entire generation, Calvin Klein now addresses today's youth through a new fragrance just as striking as its predecessor and at least as addictive. CK2 is a new symbol charged with experience and dynamism. It seems designed to stir emotions and ignite passions. It is a clear and transparent juice, yet endowed with strong character. It celebrates the diversity of connections that can exist between two people. Once again, Calvin Klein seems to have created an ode to life that is entirely universal and, above all, unisex.
Calvin Klein's fresh and woody scent
It was the perfumer Pascal Gaurin who was entrusted with creating this new fragrance. He chose to develop it in two successive stages. It opens with an energizing and electric thrill. CK2 is a wave of freshness built on a green and sharp opening based on mandarin and violet leaf. Likewise, this opening is tickled by the unprecedented presence of wasabi, a kind of Japanese green mustard known for its very sharp taste. Then, the nobility of iris takes over and combines with rose absolute to create a feeling of elegance and fullness. The sensitivity of CK2 is then counterbalanced by a more mineral, raw aspect, reminiscent of wet stone. Finally, its sillage releases woody accents combined with incense. This is how the initial freshness of CK2 gives way to a very warm and magnetic accord, brimming with vetiver and sandalwood. The whole is contained in an inverted bottle. It features an ergonomic and futuristic design. It is a fully transparent glass tube, electrified with a neon blue hue. Like a light bulb, it balances on its base and stands out for its minimalist style.
