I think there must be either a reformulation or a need to let bottles sit for a while, because the two bottles that I've tried have been night and day, this might also explain the very split opinion on this fragrance in the reviews here.

I have a huge problem with finding ''summer'' perfumes cause I don't like the generic citrus perfumes, eg.

Freemans plc trading as bonprix is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (No 311341), in respect of consumer credit activities. This is a versatile scent for anyone of any age, its office safe, totally acceptable for gym wear, casual wear and works so well in the high summer temperatures we have been experiencing here in the UK. Opening with a burst of pink grapefruit fizz and a surge of sugar orchid, this Ck In2U eau de toilette is lit from within with neon amber. It's bright,summary,refreshing and wearable,I can get why a lot of people may find it masculine or a unisex perfume,but there is enough vanilla here to add soft and sweet quality that I need in a fragrance to feel feminine. On paper/in the bottle it is lemony, grapefruity vanilla but definitely try this one on your skin as it smells very different on skin compared to paper/bottle.

CK IN2U by Calvin Klein is a feminine “Eau de Toilette”, created for a young woman, a new generation that is flourishing displaying his freedom, and expresses its cosmopolitan character through any route public.I’m usually not a very citrusy fragrance kind of person, but the citrus notes in combination with the base notes of vanille and amber just work wonderfully! That's why it draws a picture of Time Square, Liberty Monument, The Empire State Building, American Dream,the uniqueness of you yourself.

It smells nice but compared to Gypsy Water or Santal Complet it’s definitely not a replacement if you love those fragrances.

I don't get any sweetness, nothing that smells even remotely like vanilla, which is one of the notes listed. Cactus here bringing some green, juicy tones and something near a tea note, while orchid brings soft powdery florals and helps to continue the faint fruitiness of the opening citrus notes a little into the heart. I’ve also tried Santal Complet and I can see why people say it smells similar but honestly, no it’s definitely not a dupe!

For those who don't prefer the Ariana cloud-musk of today, the Viva La Juicy bonbon contemporary, or really anything else - this is a pleasant and namely, safe, alternative.

It has the obvious citruses in the top, a very unusual cactus in the middle and the usual vanilla, cedar and amber in the base. Five minutes later, and it smells like straight up man's cologne to me, mostly in the notes of cedar and amber. They mention that the bottle was broken, the cover was completely damaged, and the spray broke after a week.
