CKbe

by Calvin Klein

What's it like?...: Fairly similar to CKone, but not nearly as close as I was thought it would be. The citrus notes in it are very familiar, but CKbe has very intriguing "green/soapy" notes.
When to wear it...: It's light and fresh -which makes it great for the summertime, but it has notes that suggest a casual night out to dinner.
How it lasted on me...: Longer than CKone ~ about 3/4 of the day.
The bottle...: The bottle shape is a carbon copy of CKone, but in black. The feel of the bottle is almost like satin... very cool. The coating is a secret formula! The cap is intentionally in great contrast to the silky feeling of the bottle, it's rubberized.
Miscellaneous details...: Calvin wanted the bottle of CKbe to be a "tactile" experience... and so it is.
In my opinion...: I actually like it a lot ~ pre-launch, but ask me again in three months (after EVERYONE has it). It's very different than a lot of fragrances out there. The green/soapy notes aren't something many companies have tried before. I'm glad he experimented.
