One Shock For Him

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Calvin Klein CK One Shock for Him

CK One Shock for Him is a fresh green spicy scent, and our version keeps that feel: a cool cucumber opening, a spicy aromatic heart, and a warm woody base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Released in 2011 under Ann Gottlieb’s direction with perfumer Loc Dong, Calvin Klein CK One Shock for Him is one of Calvin Klein’s bolder scents, pairing a cool cucumber and basil freshness with a warm tobacco and amber.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the cucumber, basil and bergamot fresh up top, let tobacco flower and lavender carry the middle, and finish on a warm patchouli, amber and musk base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a designer release. We build ours at a higher perfume oil concentration so the fresh and spicy notes last longer, while keeping the same bold character.

Who It’s For

It suits men who want a cool, fresh, bold scent for daytime and nights out.
