Calvin Klein CK Be Eau de Toilette 100ml is a clean, gender-free fragrance launched in 1996 — the second pillar of the brand's revolutionary 1990s shared-fragrance line, alongside CK One. Composed by perfumer René Morgenthaler, it pushes further into a softer, more aromatic direction: cool mint, juniper berry and bergamot opening into a green-floral heart of grass, peach, magnolia and freesia, before settling onto a creamy base of cedar, sandalwood, vanilla and musk. The 100ml size is the long-haul bottle for those who already wear it as their daily.
About Calvin Klein
Founded in New York in 1968, Calvin Klein helped define minimalist American style — the white t-shirt, the perfectly cut jean, the unbranded look. Its perfumery line drove the 1990s shift toward unisex, transparent fragrance: CK One (1994) and CK Be (1996) became cult bestsellers and remain reference points in shared scent today.

Who it's for
CK Be is genuinely unisex — equally worn by men and women. It is a versatile year-round wear, especially good in spring and summer where the mint-and-grass opening can lift, and clean enough to layer easily under business attire. The 100ml size is the long-haul bottle.
How to use
- Hold the frosted black bottle around 15 cm from the skin.
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, chest.
- Three to four sprays balance presence and longevity for the eau de toilette concentration.
- For an effortless splash-on feel, mist lightly across clothing or a t-shirt.
