One Red Edition For Him

CK One Red Edition for Him by Calvin Klein (2014)

Released in 2014 and crafted by perfumers at Givaudan, Calvin Klein CK One Red Edition for Him was the bold, mysterious flanker to the iconic CK One. Built around pear, aldehydes, black pepper, suede, ginger, vetiver, tonka bean, and musk, this Woody Spicy composition translated the CK One unisex DNA into a more sensual masculine expression for urban youth.

CK One Red Edition for Him has been discontinued from Calvin Klein’s main catalog. Fragrantica fans consistently mourn the discontinuation, calling it “one of the best CK’s” and “gutted that it’s been discontinued.” Authentic bottles command rising prices on resale markets. Our interpretation references the original 2014 formulation as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

Bottle size: 50ml · Concentration: Eau de Parfum (up to 40% perfume oil) · Made in EU

How It Smells

The opening is immediately distinctive with juicy pear and sparkling aldehydes creating a polished introduction. There is no shy citrus burst. CK One Red Edition announces its sensual character from the first spray.

The heart introduces the soul of the fragrance: smooth suede paired with refined black pepper and warm ginger, creating a refined leather-spicy character that distinguishes the fragrance from typical CK One flankers. The dry-down settles on dignified vetiver, creamy tonka bean, and clean musks. A base that lingers on skin for hours with sophisticated, slightly warm, sensual masculine depth.
