CK be, from Calvin Klein in 1996 and composed by René Morgenthaler, is a soft, green-tinged floral worn by anyone. Floral is the word everyone uses, and about half also find it sweet, woody, aromatic, ambery and citrusy, which suggests a blend where everything is turned down to the same gentle level.
The opening is green and herbal: bergamot for citrus, mint for coolness and lavender for a clean, aromatic note. The heart brings peach and magnolia, a soft fruit and a creamy flower, over a hint of cut grass. The base is warm and quiet, vanilla and amber with sandalwood and musk.
Longevity is its weak point: most wearers call it weak, and nearly a third very weak, and the sillage is intimate for the great majority. Summer and spring lead the seasonal votes and it is mostly worn by day. Treat it as a light, close skin scent for warm days, to be reapplied, rather than something to carry an evening.
