About this deal

It's a clean very citrus ambroxan smell the opening is nice and strong with good sillage only issue I have is longevity for me just isn't there it turns into a skin scent quick. This is for sure like the original, but different enough to my nose to enjoy each of them in a different way.

Flash forward almost 30 years… now a fragrance enthusiast, I had tried wearing CK Be, but the new formula has muted what I loved about it, or perhaps the rose coloured glasses of nostalgia warped my expectations. While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy or reliability of the AI-generated pros and cons.Citrus notes are not the core backbone of this fragrance — don't be biased by other people voting madarin and lime. It invokes a Mediterranean feeling and makes the fragrance feel much more expensive than it really is and would probably make a perfect vacation scent. For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and / or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). A suntheticy underlying note most definitely, bearable; but honestly show me a perfume from Ck line that doesn't have that synthetic feel, even if the notes change. It is a clean orangey somewhat warm fragrance overall, and it can also be quite strong with good lasting power despite being an EDT - I can still smell the scent 5 hours after I sprayed on my arm.

On a cooler summer day or tropical springtime when outside temperature is around 28-30degC, it may perform well. cK has been bringing their "A game" as of late and I hope this wafts with the same simplexity (complex simplicity) of something much more expensive.It smells very warm with strong amber and jasmine note throughout the fragrance which is quite overbearing for me somehow. It’s deffo unisex cos this is coming from a male who only really wears female fragrances and at first when you spray it, yes it can be too strong and overwhelming, but it where’s down perfectly within 15 minutes, so that it’s no suttle and also not headache overwhelming and strong. It is very feminine too; moreso than masculine for being a unisex scent, undoubtedly due to the flowers in it. Luckily, they are all the best white florals- jasmine and lily which blend so easily with the citruses and actually provide a bit of sweetness to the overall scent. The sparkling freshness of the mandarin combined with the brightness of a floral accord and an amber woody background with an enveloping sensuality.

It is more on the notes that people relate to feminine scents, but, times are changing — people are coming back to oldschool way of just recognising good smells. They made the wrong decision discontinuing CK One Platinum (2018) and kept the scentless CK One Gold for no reason. To be fair I was only born the year that CK One was released so I wasn't exactly there for the massive hype and I'm sure this can't begin to compare. It’s a much more interesting Versace Pour Homme, with a smooth green mandarin vs lemon, and grapefruit blossom vs neroli.CK All is an amazing cologne, it's got the fresh zesty Mandarin note up top, that settles into a creamy base. Ck all smells very energetic, its more sour, more citrus and more mass appealing; while ck one is more floral and laid back. Simply layer this to any fragrance that could use some citrus- it blends really well with a lot fragrances I own. It has good fixation on the skin and is moderately long-lasting, keeping a subtle scent alive for many hours. If you are looking for an addicting, versatile and easy-to-wear aquatic, sweet citrus/floral scent this Spring or Summer, I highly recommend CK All.

I’ll say that while CK one seemed far too feminine for me (for a 30 year old man, it’s not a bad scent though) I almost wrote off CK all as well. Imo, it is almost perfectly unisex if not just a touch feminine (particularly after the first 5 minutes when the florals start to come in). This is a great frag to sprits on once you're fresh out of the shower and in the mood for some serious Netflix and chill time. Now the jasmine surprises me; it's supposed to be animalic, but the jasmine is just a little fleshy, just enough for the millenials, it's there, it's there, but you have to try hard to get it.

Although with CK One still around (plus it's dozens of flankers) I'm not sure this one was truly needed (doesn't really bring much new to the table (unlike CK2 for example) but CK All is still a great 'easy reach' and safe kind of scent, an extremely versatile people pleaser, probably a little more feminine than manly (as with CK One) due to the floral notes used but as the name suggests anyone can rock it! Smells like Fujiyama Succes de Paris (more "compact" "creamy" copy of CKOne) and Green Tea Lotus - something in between.
