André says...
Are unisex fragrances dead? Well, maybe—according to Calvin Klein’s newest release CK one Shock for her. That’s right—for her. This is definitely not for the guys.
It comes in an all-white bottle with pink and black lettering. For some reason it reminds me of Betty Boop.
Top notes include passion flower, pink peony, and poppy flower. Middle notes of chocolate, blackberry, narcissus, and jasmine. Base notes of amber, vanillin, patchouli, and musk. CK one Shock is an eau de toilette, which is a lighter strength fragrance. But it does come in a body lotion, that when worn together should increase its staying power.
CK Shock for him has notes of mandarin, cucumber, Red Bull accord, pepper, cardamom, tobacco, musk and patchouli.
