Our take
What does CK One Shock for Her smell like?
Calvin Klein released CK One Shock for Her in 2011 as an eau de toilette. It was the female twin of CK One Shock for Him and one of the first gendered CK One scents. The brand called it a juicy floriental. The opening combines passionflower, pink peony and poppy, flowers you imagine more than recognise. The heart is where the perfume lives. A tart, slightly synthetic blackberry blends with a liquid chocolate accord, narcissus and jasmine. Think dark fruit jam dusted with cocoa. The base brings vanilla, patchouli, amber and a light skin musk. It has nothing in common with the green, lemony freshness of the 1994 CK One. This is a fruity gourmand. Now Smell This compared its structure to Mugler's Angel, only lighter. Projection is modest and longevity average.
When to wear it
For cool days and casual outings. Three or four sprays, because it fades quickly.
It belongs to the Floral, Oriental / Amber family. CK One Shock for Her is one of 24 creations by Calvin Klein in our encyclopedia.
