The Calvin Klein CK One campaigns of the mid-’90s were some of the most striking and boundary-pushing of the last couple of decades, and have rightfully earned a place in style history. Shot in black-and-white, they featured a fresh-faced Kate Moss and a clique of nonchalantly cool models in various states of shirtlessness. Just like the advertisements themselves, the unisex scent exuded a raw, sexy and effortlessly cool vibe, and was so popular it spawned a series of spin-offs including the seasonal CK One Summer and the recent CK Two.

More than two decades after the launch of the scent that started it all, Calvin Klein has launched CK One Gold. Featuring top notes of fig, bergamot and sage that rest on a base of vetiver, gaiac wood and patchouli, CK One Gold captures the golden allure of youth, and is the fragrance equivalent of the ’90s fashion staple that’s also making a comeback, the slip dress – understated, yet undeniably sexy. To match the shimmering radiance of this scent, the design of CK One Gold shares the same silhouette as the original, but with luxurious gold drips. We predict the stunning bottles will be making their way onto Instagram feeds near you very soon…
