Flora Five's take on an icon — CK One, reborn as an alcohol-free attar
A love letter to the 1994 fragrance that redrew the line between his and hers. Our interpretation keeps everything people remember — the cold-water citrus rush, the green-tea freshness, the clean skin-musk drydown — and rebuilds it as a long-wearing, alcohol-free oil designed for Indian weather and everyday skin.
No perfume is a copy; this is an inspired-by composition. We borrowed the silhouette, not the formula.
How it wears
The opening is a gulp of fresh air — bergamot, lemon, and a green tea accord lift off the skin in the first seconds, cool and slightly bitter in the best way. Within fifteen minutes the heart softens: a quiet jasmine-violet duo, a whisper of cardamom, nothing loud. The drydown is where it settles in: white musk, soft amber, a clean cedar — the "freshly-showered-in-a-hotel-robe" note that the original made famous. Sheer, skin-close, and disarmingly wearable.

- Anyone who grew up with CK One and wants the memory back — without the alcohol sting
- Fresh-fragrance lovers tired of heavy ouds and sweet gourmands
- Couples who share a bottle — genuinely unisex, not "unisex-leaning-masculine"
- Office, college, travel, post-workout — anywhere you need to smell clean and feel awake
Sizes & bottle options
3 ml — pocket/purse size, ~40–50 wears

12 ml — for the loyalist; months of wear
Each size is available in our Regular Bottle (clean, minimal, everyday) and Fancy Bottle (dressed up for gifting).
Why an attar?
Alcohol-free. No sting on freshly-shaved skin, no evaporation in summer heat. Oil fragrances bloom slowly and project close — more intimate than a spray, and far more forgiving in humidity. Roll it onto pulse points (wrists, behind the ears, base of the throat), give it thirty seconds, and let it settle.
