What do reviewers say about CK be and Aaliyah?
It sits in that rare middle ground between something you'd wear casually and something that actually smells good. Light enough to wear every day, warm enough to linger.CK be
The jasmine is the tell. In most fragrances it's a background player, here it pushes forward, full and indolic, which catches some people off guard. But that boldness is the point.Aaliyah
