A fresh, clean, citrus-aromatic unisex fragrance blending zesty bergamot, pineapple and green tea with delicate florals and a warm woody‑amber base.
Launched in 1994 by Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont, CK One revolutionized perfumery as the first major unisex scent. Its top notes include bergamot, pineapple, papaya, cardamom, lemon and mandarin. A floral heart of jasmine, violet, rose, lily‑of‑the‑valley, nutmeg and freesia softens the freshness, while the base combines amber, musk, oakmoss, sandalwood, cedar and green tea—creating a clean, energizing scent that transcends gender and era.
