What do reviewers say about CK One and Paco?
This is the fragrance that made gender-neutral mainstream, not by playing it safe, but by getting the formula exactly right. Three decades later, the green tea signature and citrus spark still hit.CK One
Paco from 1996 has a green, slightly bitter quality that sets it apart from many contemporary tea fragrances. The tea note brings a grounded herbal character rather than the sweeter.Paco
