Calvin Klein CK Be Unisex Eau de Toilette

CK be was launched in 1996 and is described as a fresh scent and was also designed as a unisex fragrance suitable for men and women.

The bottle as you can see in the picture above is a very simple design. The glass bottle is matte black which has a soft, almost velvety feel to it. Obviously the design was meant to appeal to both men and women as this is a unisex fragrance, and although this design doesn't put me off, I can't help but feel that the design is more masculine than feminine. I feel the bottle reflects the scent of the fragrance well, and although I wouldn't describe this as a simple fragrance, it is fresh and clean and this is reflected in the clean lines of the bottle. The bottle is contained in a black box of the same design.

--The Fragrance--

Top notes: Bergamot, juniper berry, mandarin, mint and lavender
Heart notes: A fresh blend of light spices with magnolia and white peach
Base notes: Sandalwood, opoponax (sweet myrrh) and tonka bean

To me this is a very unusual and distinctive scent. It is indeed fresh but also smells quite sweet with quite a sharp edge. This is quite a hard scent to describe as is like nothing else I have ever discovered on the market. It is such a multi-layered fragrance with so many different elements. The fragrance does have decent staying power. It is an easy to wear scent that I would recommend for casual wear. I am a big fan of this, my only problem with it is that it isn't quite as strong as I would like.
