I like how both of these fragrances smell.

Yes, anyone can indeed wear these fragrances, but don’t expect some super formal usage out of either.

These were and still are to some extent, staples in the world of high school and college age. Really no difference in this regard.Įach of these perfumes, skews toward a younger audience. Neither is a nighttime or date night type of scent. CK Be, used to get, about what One achieves nowadays.īoth of these fragrances are casual wears, that seem to work best in warmer weather. The most recent bottles that I’ve tried out, still lasted 6-7 hours, on my skin.Īgain, both of these used to be better, but One was always the better performer of the two. Like, it will last around 4-5 hours…I’m pretty sure that reformulations took away some of its staying power from how it used to be.ĬK One gives decent longevity, again, it’s not a beast by any means but it gets the job done fairly well. The opening hour or so, with One is fairly strong, and definitely projects itself a decent distance.ĬK Be has longevity issues. You’re going to notice, that it is there, much more so than Be. I think CK One is a light to moderate sillage perfume. At first, Be is pretty good, but it gets quite light.

Be can be a very light almost skin type of fragrance. That being said, CK One is the stronger scent of the two. These are lighter, casual fragrances, meant to be inoffensive and universally enjoyed. Neither one of these scents is a monster in terms of how it projects. I do love the fruity notes, but the green tea, is just an added delicious touch. Hell, its an extremely famous smell at this point.

To me, it’s opening act, is just more interesting. It depends on your tastes, but I think One is the winner. This is flanked by its tea influence and musk. One has a very citrus opening, that has a watery, almost aquatic feel. This is joined by a nice little green tea note, and the slight warmth of cardamom. Lots of pineapple, papaya, lemon, and bergamot. It’s got a musky clean, sort of soapy quality, with the introduction of mostly freesia.ĬK One is also very fresh and clean but instead utilizes the citrus, pineapple, and green floral notes to create a light yet quite attractive aroma.ĬK One starts off with an initial burst of its citrus and tropical fruit notes. The orange note here, is a very light touch, especially when compared to the bold citrus found in One.Īs it moves a bit further along, Be starts to take on more of its floral character. The opening of CK Be is a fresh blend of mostly lavender, with citrus, mint and sandalwood notes, which feels very familiar and clean.
