Play Safe

Many people zero down to a Gift-Idea of perfume, but do not know how to go ahead. And they have valid reasons for this confusion. Firstly, it's a democratic world we live in. We can choose to be as confused as we wanna be. And secondly, different people have different choices, and different perfumes smell different on different people.

So, what do you do? Stop gifting perfumes totally? Maybe, yes. Or, hold on. You can play safe. We researched quite a few perfumes, and we selected "CK One" as a Safe Choice.





For the lovers of technicalities, the notes of this perfume are:
1. Top Notes: Bergamot, Cardamom, Fresh Pineapple, Papaya., Green tree accord
2. Mid Notes: Hedione High Cis (derived from Jasmine), Violet, Rose, Nutmeg, Green tree accord
3. Base Notes: Musk, Amber, Green tree accord



The reasons why CK One topped our list of Safe choice for perfumes is:

To whom can I gift this?
1. It's a unisex perfume. You can gift it to your girlfriend/boyfriend or both ;-)
2. If you are brand conscious, then be kool. CK is definitely a great brand.

Back to business. How is the fragrance, boss?
3. It's not suffocating or overpowering like many other expensive perfumes (Ah, how people pay bucks to get suffocated too) CK One has a peculiar "fresh" smell to it. Even when you return home tired, you would smell "fresh".

For the same reason, it's a very suitable perfume which can be worn to office or college. These are the places where you wanna be a head-turner, but not attract angry stares (We are sure you all have experienced a colleague/friend wearing a perfume so strong that it gave you a headache.)

How is the Packaging? After all, I came here for Gift ideas
4. Packaging is neat, and again Fresh. It's definitely not over the top.

Any Age Bar?
5. It has comparatively young vibes. So, we recommend this as a gift for people between the age group of 15 to 35. But then, rules are made to be broken. So, you can gift it to a person who exudes youth.

I don't wanna sound cheap. But I care for my money!
6. A 50 ml bottle would come around $17 -$20 and 100 ml would come around $30-$40. It comes expensive in stores except when schemes/discounts are running. Internet stores offer better pricing.

Tell me now! Are their any cons?
Perhaps, the only disadvantage comes from its advantage only. Since it's not overpowering, you can't expect it to leave trails behind. Lol. Jokes apart, it's a soft and mild perfume. You might need to reapply after 5-6 hours if you wish so.

So, go ahead and buy this perfume. It can make a great gift for
1. Your friends
2. Your girlfriend/boyfriend
3. Your spouse (we are sure you are gonna love this gift when he/she puts it on)
4. Your younger brother/sister. It's a great perfume to introduce them to the world of perfumes.

I like that phrase, we can be as confused as we wanna be!

I think you are right if we gift something usually the person receiving it will appreciate it.
