If there’s anything Ruby Rose, Agyness Deyn, even David Bowie, have in common, it’s this – an androgynous factor that, while revered on fashion runways, is oddly missing in the fragrances department where his and hers scents are still the norm. Unless it’s Calvin Klein. You know all about their first unisex scent, ck one, and still, the brand is paving the way forward with their latest gender-free fragrance, the ck2.
Label anything “androgynous” or “unisex” these days, and immediately, there’s a certain connotation. You’re strong. You’re unconventional. Daring and empowered. And that’s exactly what we feel about this fragrance. Why choose when you can have the best of both worlds? More than that though, this thrilling one caters to the free-spirited young and youthful, while emphasising the beauty of a shared connection. Think about it. Sharing the scent with your significant other or BFF is like a subtle, subliminal version of a promise ring or friendship bracelet – it draws both your lives together, maybe even weaves your souls into a tapestry of shared experiences. But really, nothing says “power couple” more than a whiff of matching scents. Kimye had better watch out.
