It's one of my favorite fragrances since it came out. CK One and this were the first fragrances to be marketed as unisex. I like One a lot , but I find be to just be more unique. The only problem I have with CK scents is that they don't project or last at all. Apart from Obsession which is a beast, although I'm not sure they still do it. Great review my friend!

I have noticed that CK One is touted by most of the "fragrance KZfaqrs" as being very good and way better than CK Be, but to me CK be is FAR superior. I have loved it (and worn it!) since it came out in the 1990's - a friend of mine worked for CK and got it for me and I kept buying it. I also got a CK be travel box that I still use for travel. Fantastic. I was just traveling in Europe about 3 weeks ago and bought both CK be AND CK one at duty-free for really cheap - i have big bottles already but bought the small travel size (1.7 oz? or 1 oz?) which I can decant the large bottles into so I can travel with it. Wore it (mostly Be) and women in Copenhagen and Amsterdam LOVED it!!! I love it!!!

CK Be and One are both beautiful unisex scents in their own right. Fresh, versatile, and wearable year round. Can’t go wrong with either one especially when you consider how cheap they are.

On my skin, it smells more feminine, with a huge punch of Floral, Bergamot note... every now and then, I pick up a whiff of the masculine, manly tone of 'Be' - which exudes a bit of a woodsy, oudh, sort of tone. It's an everyday scent for me. Solid review, bro 👍

I bought my very first Bottle off Amazon, and got it today. I must say, i too also love the scent. If the 90's had a scent, then this is it right here. Lol...Awesome stuff. I will be looking to purchase The CK one soon.

This was given to me as a gift in 1996 when I was a kid, and I’ve always loved it. On my skin, I get a lot of lavender, citrus, and white musk. Shower clean, and I guess that’s why I’ve always enjoyed it. Great review.

I think Be is definitely more masculine but it's hard for people to think that because it's very floral. CK has done an amazing thing here that is to make a very floral scent one that is also masculine enough for men, which normally only more advanced perfumers can pull off like Francis Kurkdjian does with so many of his (very expensive) scents, like L'homme de Rose and Oud Silk Mood

It still smells too much like women's perfume for me. Really wish my wife would understand that men like me are just not interested in unisex fragrances. :(

@@markseymour8365 I understand what you're saying and I think it's fine for any men who want more masculine scents to want what they want. I just think you shouldn't get caught up on what's labeled "unisex" vs "men's" because the bottom line is that these are just scents - they don't have sexual organs or sexes themselves. When it's labeled "men's" or "women's" that's just a way of marketing it. There are many fragrances that are labeled "men's" and are very feminine, even more so than many that are labeled "unisex". Same goes for women's. For decades, women have been wearing men's scents whenever they found one that they thought was adequately feminine for them. Now men are doing the same and now perfumers are being smart and marketing fragrances as unisex in many cases.

@@johnny07652 To be fair, the unisex label had nothing to do with my not liking it as I was unaware of the label until afterwards. I disliked it when I tried it and then searched online to see what others thought. One of my favourite scents is Le Male by JPG. It seems to be popular with gay men, understandably given the designer's name, but that doesn't stop me from wearing it or from finding it intensely masculine. I honestly couldn't be less interested in the labels other people give to things, it's just a convenient term of reference in this case and I happen to agree that this scent is very 'unisex'.

Boring goth here lol. I don't know if this make any sense but like the ones that your gf (or significant other) can smell when you are close but no one else... that's why lately I was using Armani Code, also its aftershave. About Ck Be, its one that I used in the past and possibly the very first one I bought 15+ years ago, today i found the 50ml bottle in a shop for 15€ and bought one... I appreciate it even more than the past and Im glad it became a sort of classic. Btw I love the fragrances by Ck or Armani but I wouldn't wear their clothes

I wore CK be religiously back in the day… it was the most amazing smell to me when I was a young teenager. I now use CK one Summer sometimes (I bought it for my 11 year old daughter) and I always thought CK be smelled better than CK one. Have you tried Obsession?! To DIE FOR. And I’m also weird about getting rid of the cap!!!!!!

@AussieMarcel 2 жыл бұрын

I have both the men’s and women’s Obsession and Obsessed. I may prefer the women’s Obsession because it has a subtle powdery quality that I enjoy. Have you tried any of the Obsessed line?

CK Shock is great! A solid and affordable oriental fragrance. I honestly think it leans unisex too with the sweet tobacco note.

You can up to 4 or 5 with CK One, CK Be, and CK All. They aren’t very strong or overpowering.

I love CK one today i tried CK Be in a shop , tested it on my skin and on a test card, i was really disappointed, the scent is really weak , i would say weaker than CK Free .

CK Free smells great but just doesn’t perform, unfortunately.
