If you like…

Calvin Klein CK One opens with bergamot, lemon and pineapple and settles into musk, amber and cedar. If you like it and want something in the same spirit, whether for variety, a different price or another season, these are the closest matches in our catalog.

None of them is a copy. Each one shares part of the character of CK One and takes it somewhere slightly different, which is what makes them worth trying.

How we picked. We compared every fragrance in our catalog with CK One by olfactory family, shared notes, style, best seasons and intensity, and kept the 6 closest. Prices are typical US retail prices and may differ at checkout.
