Uhm, citrusy, perfect for the gym in a hot summer day. It doesn't smell artificial to me. I would say it has a Unisex vibe. I mixed it with Pink Sugar and it made it fresh, I believe now I can wear Pink Sugar at the gym😅👌

ariel5914

More like a masculine scent for me... gave it to my brother after I got the bottle. But it is versatile, gives a fresh scent and could be used for a daily use.

jd9393

Bought it for my mom, very yummy fragrance. I sprayed it on my wrists at night, woke up the next morning, can still smell it after a shower.

Wizzie08

Bought this for my mum and she says it's masculine so I bought her Coco Chanel instead.

It's unisex so I took this for myself as it smells like Missoni Pour Homme. I'll try it again in the summer and update this 🌞

Indignatious83

I like this. Different than my normal favorites - the vanilla would usually be a no go for me - but everything else here keeps it on the fresh side of sweet. Casual and easily unisex. Lasts all day for me. I don't reach for it enough but I'm always pleased with it when I do. Can't imagine wearing it in heat, though - I think it might be a bit stifling in warmer weather.

MandalaaXO

When I first sprayed, I thought it was too masculine. The weather was also warm and humid at the time. I have let it sit for a month or so and resprayed it tonight and I like it a lot more, it smells very unisex, but now it is colder. I live in FL, so how perfumes smell/perform in the heat is crucial. I hope it remains unisex leaning feminine when I try it again in hot weather! I get an aromatic citrus, a profile I have been looking for that doesn't smell masculine - please let this be the one!

Ariete76

For me, however, it almost brings back a Christmas atmosphere.... where you can almost smell the garlands made of pine needles, it must be the red juniper reported here by Fragrantica, I loved the beginning, loving citrus fruits, I really liked it.. but it's the aftermath that I don't like and doesn't convince me! I was definitely expecting a perfume that was sensual enough because of the orchid, but more than sensual it feels a little stale, almost old! I purposely looked for the check/fresh on the site and it doesn't depend on the perfume (I thought it was bad), probably too amber for my nose, it gives me the feeling of an old, truly adult men's perfume! Yes for men because I feel it is more masculine than feminine and I assure you that I own several unisex brands from this brand, indeed perhaps more tending towards the masculine than feminine gender! As always when it comes to noses, everyone has their own and so be it, otherwise we would be poor... we would all be the same.

Tashateex

At first I thought this was very masculine, almost like an aftershave. I then appreciated the fresh, crisp, citrus notes, although I would class this as a unisex fragrance, rather than feminine.

This also performs like a body mist for me, so I use this to layer rather than on its own. So for the performance, I would say it's overpriced.

I would not repurchase this again.

Anhar

I love to wear this fragrance during colder months due to amber and vanilla notes. It reminds me of a citrus body lotion, it is fresh but at the same time it has this lotion-like smell. After 3h i can't smell the fragrance on myself, but i received compliments on it even after 8+ hours.

Sarra816

Fresh citrus without extra sweetness. It has a bit of brightness to it, nice bit for someone who enjoys lemon or orange scents. I dont get any vanilla or green from the cedar in here at all
This would have been nice as a body spray more than a perfume, honestly I use it as an air freshener or on my sheets instead of on my skin.

hollyhwd

I love this scent, but I only wear it in October, so I don't get much use out of it. It's autumn in a bottle - I'm missing the freshness that a lot of people are mentioning, but instead there's a bitter orange opening to it, settling into a smoky, earthy amber. I could maybe stretch this to late August, but I really think this smells better in the cold air.

Sanguine_scenttrails

An all season, daytime scent that does not live up to other offerings by Calvin Klein.

If CK IN2U Her maintained the beautiful green fruitiness of the opening, I would be in LOVE. But Almost immediately into the drydown it becomes a powdery sour vanillic scent. The Amber in here is the cloying, powdery variety; and it smells both sickly and uninteresting?

I wish this was more of a balsamic Amber, with a prominent cactus note. But unfortunately, this one is a pass.

Dionacartez

This is a masterpiece. It took not one, not two but FOUR different renowned perfumers to create this citrusy toilet cleaner in the perfume form. Just unbelievable.

jroerholt

I got this as a gift from my parents back in 2007 who unfortunately had no idea what I like and it didn't suit me at all in the long run as I am more of a woody smokey ambery person.. It had a strong grapefruit smell that I think was a bit overpowering and I felt slightly nauseous at first, but I remember it drying down quite gently and became more soft as the amber developes and actually lands on a nice creamy ending. However it aged quite badly because now when I retried it (the same bottle, as I never used it back then) it now smells like toilet cleaner and I blaspherely use it as a air freshner in the bathroom - but mind you this is after a good 16 years haha.

kuribits

Grapefruit comes across strong, but creamy rather than sharp due to the musk/vanilla. I live in the tropics where wearing strong perfumes is not the norm, and I find this comes across a little bit too strong in the day, as well as in office environments. I slowly stopped using it in favour of fresher, more green scents. I think it works best for hot, tropical nights out, and in late spring/early autumn.

Sillykn

For some reason this smells like sickly vanilla to me. No freshness at all. Gave it to my sister and she liked it.

fiskElina

Amazing fragrance when you’re at, and after the gym..! Fresh citrus but also a bit soft and creamy, like a lemonade/whipped cream-bodywash.

Wemano

I received this perfume as a gift. First thought was it's not my thing. Too fresh or something.
But after giving it more than a few tries it turned out to be a fresh, clean and also powdery fragrance. I don't reach out for it much but it's also a very nice bedtime scent.

Mycoleman2800

This is a nice citrus at first spray. A light nice citrus scent. Then I get citrus and vanilla it smells really good. Well, at least until the dry down. It turns into a powdery vanilla citrus, which is not my thing. It's a bit to powdery. Maybe I will try it again in the winter....maybe.

iriscotao

Me encanta, para mi es un aroma perfecto siento más el aroma a vainilla qué el cítrico, muy recomendable

ranch

I blind bought this because someone referred to it as summer in a bottle and it smells sour on me :( pretty bummed

FeralRat

So I was gifted this perfume and this isn't the first Calvin Klein perfume I own, but the first one I bought (Obsession) was absolutely amazing and blew me away. Didn't know what to expect with a Calvin Klein perfume. Well got N2U and holy moly, blown away again, I can see how some other people might not like it, but I LOVE the citrus vanilla scent. It's not super heavy and not super overwhelming in my opinion and I just love how it brings on a really happy and just relaxing scent. I personally think it's just a perfectly blended Perfume

suzanne_ronald

Fresh CITRUS Over VANILLA-WOODS Scent. Opens with a fresh citrus-y burst of pink-grapefruit & bergamot accented by red-currant-leaf. That segues into the cactus & orchid heart. 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. This all rests on a base of vanilla & red-cedar resin that combine into a lather of sweet, powdery, faintly-soapy, woody & aromatic notes. This has average performance for a spring through fall wearing experience, although the citrus component lasts only part-way into the heart.

Contrast to Santal Complet Fragrance du Bois:
These are different, although there are some similarities with a citrus-over-woods scent. Santal Complet has a more obviously creamy sandalwood note, while the citruses are more forward in CK IN2U For Her. Santal Complet outperforms.

Overall: affordable, unisex, gorgeous fresh citrus over vanila-woods scent with average performance for a spring through fall wearing experience. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

GiovannaV

If you want an affordable scent that wears well in this God forsaken HEAT of the summer, look no further than CK IN2U for her. I feel like I can tackle the day head on when I spray this after getting dressed. Definitely one of the MVP's of my collection and i'm pretty sure I got it for under $20 in Burlington, wish I had gotten a backup.

qofb

So this is my second review of this fragrance, the first bottle of this, I absolutely hated, it smelt like latex gloves to me in the drydown, I just couldn't stand it. A few years after this, I got another bottle, this time a partial bottle in a bundle of secondhand fragrances, and wow, it's gorgeous, it's a soft fluffy lemon vanilla with a bit of woodiness. The woodiness is almost like pine, like what I smell in Chloe Nomade but much lighter than that. I've been spraying this one like crazy this summer and loving it. 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...

Little Eva

I really enjoy this scent. I use it on daily basis and it has pretty much become a staple in my routine.
I love the fresh citrus opening. It's definitely suitable for the summer months.🏝️
Can't wait to see it's performance in the colder ones

pmg

I have never smelled this one, but now I would like to try it... How come that this is similar to Santal Complet? :-O
Some of you said "Strong citrusy scent with some hint of green." which is everything but Santal Complet to me...

Barbarossa

Please can people that don’t understand in citrus fragrances stop leaving comments on such type of scents. Like it is supposed to be sour/tart. It citrus dominated fragrance. It is supposed to be a blast of citrus (bergamot, lemon, grapefruit etc) in your face! That’s the point of lemony,citrusy notes sometimes!!!!! Those fragrances are usually are used in very hot and humid environments, cause it’s one of the most refreshing things you could wear when it’s 100°f outside and you can’t literally breathe outside. And no in those situations it doesn’t smell like detergent/dish soap etc.
Now about the fragrance great citrus and aromatic fragrance! It does however barely lasts on my skin. Till the moment I get to that gorgeous vanilla dry down it mostly disappears. Otherwise smells expensive with some niche aromas in it. I even prefer it over Chanel Chance eau fraiche (despite that Chanel’s fragrance is one of the best citrusy fragrances)

JasmineSky

This isn't a sharp citrus, at all. It's the creamiest, softest, citrus ever. Quite beautiful. Probably one of my favorite citrus/vanilla scents, just wish it lasted longer. The longevity on this is terrible!

Savage1

With the reviews I read, I thought I would really like this perfume even if the longevity wasn't great. I have been looking for some citrus scents that wouldn't break the bank, and this one obviously doesn't. I found a bottle at Ross. I LOVE the opening of this fragrance! Terrific citrus forward scent! That lasted about 10 minutes. Then as it started to dry down, the familiar aroma of Calvin Klein fragrances of yore (and I'm of the age to know yore), came through. It was then I remembered how much I didn't like Calvin Klein's DNA. I didn't like it then and I still don't. I had to scrub it off to rid myself of the memories of young guys wearing too much of the CK scents years ago and not being able to stay in their vicinity. At least my bad memories only cost me about $20. Anyone in the US want a bottle with about 3 sprays out of it? I'll give it to you cheaper than Ross!

NY2NJMo

This is a sharp citrus with a subtle sweetness & a woodsy undertone. IMO it's more unisex than feminine. I've had it for a while now & I have layered it a few times but do not reach for this much at all. Today it dawned on me to try it out as a bug repellent so I will see how it goes.

Syndamar

This smells like citrus washing up liquid (dish washing liquid), it's sharp and made me want to scrub it off.

oddsoy

actually such an amazing unisex perfume. i got this in spain last year and forgot how amazing this fragrance is. i adore the vanilla aromatic blend this perfume has (surprising because i usually stray away from aromatic perfumes) and i think this might be my new favorite summer time perfume.

hvnent

My mom got me this perfume as a gift for my 19th birthday and I've loved jasmine citrusy things ever since as a true summer baby.
Before that I didn't really care much about fragrances except for the occasional powdery perfume on some of her friends.
I remember I ran out of it pretty fast and only managed to get a second bottle years later but now that we've been reunited I'm not letting it go.
Fresh, sparkly and warm like summer should be.

scent.2go

It is really nice one! First time I bought it in 2008 when I came to england and used it with pleasure. Now bought it again in 2023 and Im glad I did. It is such a nice scent for spring/summer.

la.femme.scent

This surprised me because it smells really good! It's a soft citrus but it goes away as quickly as I spray it, my skin eats it right up. The bottle is so hideous to me though. The price for this isn't bad but I couldn't imagine wearing this in any other season other than summer. A good cheapie for those in warmer climates.

Night of April

This one is marvelous. Is springy, summery and it is so nice. This is a citrus heaven mixed with freshness and a hint of sweetness, I am in love with this one. It makes you so happy after spraying it on yourself, it has also a hint of acidity but this fragrance is so well thought.
The design of the bottle is simple yet elegant and cool.
I recommend you trying it in store, but I have to say, again, that this one is so amazing.

perfumaphile

My first impression of this scent was sweet iced tea. It has a greenish quality to it and it's sugary and lemony at the same time so it brought back memories of Summer. It's not super unique, but it's pleasant. I think it's a good everyday sunny day perfume. It's not dark and seductive, because it wasn't intended to be; it's lighthearted so don't take it too seriously. One qualm I have is that I can smell alcohol mildly in the background which I wish wasn't there. I'd say it lasts and projects moderately, but it won't perform like a beast, what citrus does? In general, I prefer more floral notes in my perfumes, but if this is your vibe, then it's a good cheapie. I'm also a fan of the bottle, I think it's a fun shape that makes it looks modern and sleek.

CocoBlack

Cloying. It's a pass for me

jcaberg

Perfect easy grab. True unisex imo.

Utopia76

With this one, I have found my perfect white-t-shirt scent! Fresh but a bit sweet, maybe a bit shampoo-ish? I like it a lot for those sunny days in spring and summer!
@veromoth : is it the same for you when you spray it on your shirt? To me it is not so masculine, maybe unisex…

veromoth

Wow... I'm so disappointed with this one.
My colleague wears it sometimes, and when I compliment her on her scent it just always turns out to be in2u.
I decided to try it for myself, and... oh man... literally. It is so manly on my skin. Is it really the same scent my colleague uses? She definitely wears it better than me.
I know the price is tempting, but I would recommend (as for any other perfumes) to try it on your skin before you buy it.

diorgirl243

this gives me a headache
I loved it so much when I first got it

Sidonie Sera

This is Satsuma from the Body Shop with a little less punch. If you like Satsuma, you'll probably like this.

vanilka133

Chcąc poznać gust zapachowy mojego męża pocięłam paski i popsikałam wszystkimi zapachami jakie posiadam w tym ten CK (ale dopiero co kupiłam i nie dla siebie tylko w prezencie)
Po kilku minutach mąż podstawił mi pod nos swojego faworyta.....właśnie CK.
Ehhhh pomyślałam.... to zapach w prezencie dla teściowej ponieważ to jej zapach od lat.
Ma w sobie coś z nut męskich, długo się utrzymuje i rozwija się na skórze.
Doskonały do pracy, biura, na zakupy. Wary swojej ceny i nie czuję żebym przepłacała.

LadyPilot

It's a very likeable scent - not a lovable one for me. I've known it for years and tested it a multitude of times but never felled compelled to get a bottle. I got one a few days ago due to an awesome price offer. And I still like it - but not totally love it. It is very user-friendly - feminine, citrussy-sweet, like an overly sweetened lemon ice tea. But that's the point. It soon gets too sweet. The wonderful freshness of citrussy notes soon gets overwhelmed by the sweet/ambery notes. I'd kick out the amber and vanilla and it would be just fine and it would fit the bottle design perfectly! Still - it's worth trying and buying and having - just in case you have no better idea what to wear on a given day. It's pretty versatile. In my opinion it may be really good on a late summer/early fall sunny day - when you don't want to let the summer go but already know it's on it's way...

KeyWestKitten

IN2U's opening is so gorgeous, it's a shame how quickly it dry's down. I still like the dry-down, though. It's a classic musky grapefruit scent that's pretty one-dimensional. For the price point, I can't really complain. This is a nice out-the-shower everyday fragrance that I'll be using more with spring upon us.

Beffuhnee

This is nice! I like it, don’t love it. Very inexpensive to buy a huge bottle of, which is good as this is one I have to over spray to get any lasting power or sillage. It opens very fresh, reminds me of lemongrass or verbena. It’s green and juicy and citrusy for the first 10-15 minutes. As it dries you get the vanilla coming in and kind of turns the fragrance into a really mellow creamy, cozy, sweet lemon/grapefruit scent.

autumnblue914

Strong citrusy scent with some hint of green. Overall pleasant.

Very poor projection, silage, longevity. It becomes a skin scent within minutes.

Only buy it on a very good deal.

arizonaruby

I find this to be pleasant but nothing outstanding. It’s mostly vanilla with a vague citrus-green character. Good for the gym or hanging around the house but I wouldn’t wear it if you want people to notice your perfume. Light to moderate longevity and sillage.

lmscully

What a disappointing buy. I purchased a large bottle based on the review recommendations here. The scent is pleasant enough, but it does not last at all. I gave myself a good eight sprays before leaving the house. Wrists, clothes, hair. When I walked into work 30 minutes later, it was gone. If I press my nose against my wrist, I can kind of smell it. I have had good like with the other CK scents, so this was a big flop for me.

Andja23

It smells very pleasant, clean and fresh. It's such a shame that it doesn't last long!

jbaby283

Needed a cheapy for the gym (saw the rec on youtube so I blind bought it) and this perfume serves that purpose perfectly. Top note smells like you just squeeze a citrus, kinda grapefruit-y rather than lemon-y since it's a bit sweet, but very fresh. The citrus scent lingers for around 2-3 hours then settles down to a creamy scent, not too sweet but very comfortable. Will not give you a migrane. Many people said that longevity wasn't good. Personally I find it has very decent longevity, around 5-6 hours or even longer, although after 3 hours, you're probably the only one who smell it. Good projection I feel, not coying at all and it makes me feel pretty and happy when working out. Doesn't smell cheap, in fact, it smells quite interesting for the price. But also in a way, kinda basic because of the citrus top note but I don't mind. Personally I like it way more than D&G light blue because of the sweet, feminine base note. Overall, I am super happy with the purchase. 10/10

You prolly won't like it as much if you buy it to use every day. But it's the perfect gym fragrance especially for women, but I think men can pull this off too.

Katchele

Fresh sweet-ness!

I agree with the comments made by ‘London Lady’ just below my comment AND I also bought it because of YouTuber Ksenja 👍

I have wanted to try this one for some time now, but I was afraid of the citrus notes. I’m not big on the coldness of freshies……but the vanilla really warms this one up for me. 😊

London Lady

I too purchased this on a YouTuber's recommendation (Ksenja). I wouldn't normally blind buy...actually that is not true - I try not to blind buy, but sometimes, if the price is right, I just can't resist it! The price of this fragrance is excellent, although I don't normally buy Calvin Klein due to the scent never really lasting with me. However, this sounded like I would enjoy it so I went ahead and ordered it. So here is my verdict: this is lovely! It's a sweet freshness that is softened by the warmth of vanilla to create a lemony creaminess. What immediately sprang to mind was that this is very similar to Tom Ford's Costa Azzurra - the difference being that one costs around £150 + and the other is £14! I liked Costa Azzurra, but could never justify paying a luxury price for what was to me just a "nice" scent. Tom Ford's has a little more body and depth to it, but since both fragrances have the same (IMHO) silage and longevity I'd much rather go for the Calvin Klein. IN2U is an everyday perfume that you can overspray, respray, sniff-your-wrist-all-day and enjoy. It's a fun, fresh, pretty scent that gives off a classy, clean, sparkling vibe.

M_Squared

Just purchased this upon a YouTuber’s recommendation. There are some good notes, but I’m getting an overarching bug spray vibe on me personally. I really hope this scent can either age in the bottle or develop on my skin to where I don’t get this sensation anymore. I’ll still give it a chance, as I also have a sinus infection and may not be all there smell-wise.

Bachi

It took me a while to fall in love with this scent, which has a lot of things going on. At first, I kept getting the amber, the cedar, and the orchid. It was ok, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it. So I let it macerate and develop. I tried it the other day, and was so happy with the scent! Finally, the citrusy sweetness started to come out, but not in a sharp way. Rather, the vanilla teased it out beautifully, playing background to the first notes of the bergamot and grapefruit. The other notes poke their heads out very softly. I've started to wear it in this muggy, warm weather and I love it! It is sweet, pretty, and elegant. The scent bubble around me is delicious!

kiaoi

A fleeting perfume, you spray it, you smell it and it m’s gone in a flash. I like the original CK One perfume but this formulation is so weak, I feel like when you spend money on one of those flavored sparkling waters that don’t fully satisfy you. Sad to say, because I like the scent, if only it would linger.

peachygal

Stole this from my mum and got the karma i deserved (she didn’t mind though). This huge bottle was such a hate pan for me but I got through it. This is such a nothing scent. I’ve said it before but Calvin Klein excels at mens fragrances but drops the ball for womens. It seems like they are all created by men, for men.

This is fresh, citrus, sharp and alcohol. Nicer than CK One but kinda related.

If you are into feminine and or girly scents, this one is not for you.

imluthien

Call me crazy, but this remided me so much of how Dior Sport was on my historical boyfriend.

I got it as a gift, still testing...but so far not bad, it's pleasant and i think it's more unisex than feminine even if it's "for her".
Love the zesty, on me almost bitter citrus :)

menmen

Honestly so relaxing. I've been on the fence about getting this for about an year now but I finally decided to get it. I was looking for a freshie for my little work out yoga session at home because I realized i had nothing really fitting for just refreshing after a shower.
It's a clean citrus, nothing strong like toilet cleaner but definitely zesty. It doesn't last too long but when it becomes a skin scent it's a really subtle soft vanilla. I really like it, it feels really comfortable and it wont overwhelm you if you over-spray.

whisperology

God this is good. Blind bought based on reviews. The first time I spritzed it I was transported to high school memories. I would recognize the scent anywhere - the fragrance of my first love and first heartbreak. Not what I thought I was signing up for purchasing this LOL.

Now I'm wondering how much of a part this scent had in my feelings for this person. Because this perfume is GOOD.

It leans masculine to me, in fact I remember telling them I "liked their cologne" only to be corrected that it was a women's perfume. However, I think any woman or man could rock this. It's both fresh and sexy, and the citrus sticks around far longer than it does in other fresh scents I've tried.

It's winter right now and this feels cozy somehow, but I can't wait to rock it in the heat.

It's versatile, inexpensive, unisex, decently long lasting. Signature scent worthy, I'd gladly grab this regardless of the outfit / occasion, save for maybe a super formal event.

mayquo

Has a very clean and citrusy scent, almost lemony. I don't really smell the spicy notes everyone is mentioning. Comes off very strong when initially sprayed on and usually lasts a couple of hours. It's nothing mind blowing but very nice and casual. It's a bit of a boring scent but sometimes that's exactly what you need. I would definitely recommend it for day-to-day activities.

TatianaChoco

Very nice citrus green spicy frag. I like it during the winter, too. That spiciness is incredible in the icy-frosty weather. Try it ❄️❤️

cherrycerise

This is my favourite fresh smelling perfume I have in my collection. There is a slight citrus undertone to it but it is not overpowering. Doesn't last long and although not groundbreaking, it's a great perfume for every day. Inexpensive, too!

ayamail26

This is one of the few citrus/fresh scents that I like, it’s unique because it has a sweets side to it. Only wish it lasted longer :(

gxbjw

Very underrated cheap fragrance. Hell, this smells more expensive than the price tag.

In2U for Her is a fresh, citrusy, spicy and fruity fragrance. The opening is really harsh, but the magic starts after 5 minutes.

Refreshing, but soothing. Playful, but not brash. You can wear it anytime as it is very inoffensive.

As a bald, fully bearded man, I don’t have a problem wearing this fragrance. But I think for me it’s best to wear In2U in casual settings.

Longevity is around 5 hours-ish, with moderate projection in the first hour.

Very solid.

kittywhiskers

To start off, as this was my #1 impression when first trying: this EDT is way more masculine than I was expecting, and I was pleasantly surprised. Slowly, I've been getting more and more into masculine and unisex scents, shying away from traditionally feminine perfumes. I'm discovering that I love citrus, wood, and green fragrances, so CK IN2U fits the bill perfectly.

The notes of cactus, orchid and red cedar were intriguing... On first spray, I didn't really smell much. It kind of smelled like nothing. So I sprayed again, figuring that since it's EDT it just needs an extra push to come alive. Now I could smell it perfectly, strong citrus right off the bat: it smelled so lemony for a very brief moment, then grapefruit and bergamot took over for a few minutes. Unisex, leaning neither fem or masc. Five minutes later, and it smells like straight up man's cologne to me, mostly in the notes of cedar and amber. I enjoy it immensely, wood and pine notes have a calming effect on me, but some who are looking for a more feminine perfume may be disappointed. The only thing I would consider feminine about the drydown is the vanilla.

Sillage isn't exceptional, but occasionally I'll get a whiff of it when I'm moving around which is always nice. Always good to own at least a couple perfumes that aren't too loud. Lasts around 6 hours on me. As a side note, a man I sat next to on a Greyhound to Salinas wore a strong cologne very very close to this one, so IN2U smells just like Northern California to me.

I used to like it when it was released and bought it now because of nostalgy. It’s still a pleasant citrusy scent, but the sillage and longevity is extremely weak. If you want a citrusy fredh scent I would rather buy D&G Light Blue intense, which is IMO way way better than this one. Now I only use the CKIn2u as a gym-scent. Will not repurchase it and I do not recommend it.

sibaraa

I could never make up my mind about getting this fragrance. I first thought it leaned masculine, but I was wrong. This is a unisex gem. I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist. Smells amazing! sweet aquatic heavy citrus and a bit tropical. I wish it lasted longer, but hey! 20 bucks not bad at all...

seliko

citrusy, green, with a floral background. i find that my mom likes an orchid note in her perfumes, probably because it was quite trendy back in the day. dated fragrance imo

SaraZigova

Girls! Don't be scared of unisex perfumes, this one smells amazing on ladies 😍

KatelynMLovesPerfume

This... Is not my favorite citrus scent. It almost comes off to me like a salty food like a saltine cracker with like apples sliced on it. I just feel like this smells cheap and like a cracker is the only way I can describe it. Lol. Also doesn't go well with my body chemistry.

eau de dosa

Smells like a clean bathroom to me. Nice but boring

Avarie

The candied citrus-like note, like it seems to be with a few of the late-00s YA fragrances, is not one I care for. Too artificial. Unfortunately, it slightly detracts from what is otherwise a pleasant, soft and sweet drydown that gives me nostalgia for mall retail of its era... and not too sweet either. After that note fades off, it warms up, slightly green-spicy, fruity, and a whisper of vanilla.

It aged along with the times. It went from smelling like a niche of the adolescents to your favorite mid-30s/40s young/fun-at-heart cousin. And there might as well be a niche of young adults that this could still be recommended to, if much smaller than what it used to be. Really doesn't make an ingredient statement compared to old-new classics, like say, Burberry Brit. 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.

Bloolagoon

this was my first "grown up" perfume I got at 13. It is fresh and it's not too strong or complicated and it's perfect for work / school just normal day to day life. I love wearing this for work. It just smells clean and its a really low price for 100ml which is perfect. It doesn't last all day so it's best to apply every couple of hours but for the price you can't complain. Perfect gift for tweens to women maybe in their 30s (?)

Olliette

i have an unopened, sealed 50ml bottle for sale. pm me :)

Macabre_Cadabra

After a slow start, this has grown on me and is now one of my favorites. It opens with a big fruity flourish that put me off for a while, just because it seems kind of simple and juvenile. The opener reminds me of the fragrances I used to wear in middle school. But it doesn't take long for IN2U to drydown into a spicy, woody, unique fragrance with a surprising sweet center. Much more grownup and complex than the opening promises! I bought a 15ml sample but I like it enough to go for a full-size bottle. I think of IN2U as a warm weather, daytime, suitable-for-work fragrance, and it seems firmly unisex to me. It's warm and spicy enough, though, that I will try it when the weather cools down and see what happens. Looking forward to it.

AmberDawn22

This is one of my favorite warm weather fragrances. The citrus stays for hours before becoming an slightly sweet woody fragrance. This is very smooth and well blended considering the cost and quality of the bottle. It doesn’t have amazing performance, but most of my citrus freshies don’t. This is definitely unisex even though it isn’t marketed that way. It’s right up my alley and every time I wear it, I am pleasantly reminded how much I love this.

vik5

I am really into unisex perfumes and generally fresher scents and this one I really love. It's not the typical freshie, to me it has more depth to it. Performance is not great, but I don't mind overspraying since it's so affordable. The reason I bought it is because to me it has a striking similarity to Replica Jazz Club, another favourite of mine. It's almost like CK IN2U is the teenager version of Jazz Club, that said it's way more appropriate for day time wear, also very office-friendly since the projection is very little. Deffinately a white t-shirt, summer time, casual scent in the best way possible.

JetsBabe

Very unimpressed. All I smell is wood and something like bergamot. I'm just giving it away now. Disappointed, but should've known since also cheap

rmb13

A citrusy vanilla, it’s actually quite nice as the base notes are heavier than they typically are with freshies, which lends some nice depth and longevity.

I would have preferred a small decant of this as it’s really nice but I’m not the biggest fan of freshies. I passed this along because I don’t reach for it enough to finish the 100ml bottle.

MilaiaFoxe

Sporty, candied grapefruit. It’s my favorite Unisex leaning fragrance, the vibe is you’re rocking your mans hoodie :)

b.a.denney

I got this because it was recommended by Ksenja on her youtube channel. It's okay, but I'm really not sure I like it all that much. I don't get any vanilla in this, even though it's listed. I think I'd like it if it were a tad sweeter, and it almost seems a tad masculine to me. I gave it a full day's wear the other day on a hot day, and was underwhelmed by the scent. Longevity was pretty decent though. I'll give this some time and see if it grows on me.

Update: I'm probably going to declutter this one, it didn't end up growing on me at all.

pinkandpearly

My high school perfume. It's just very fresh and sporty. You can feel the citrusy openning and at dry down its like citrusy-vanilla. I liked it. Still like it.

Snifferdoodle

This is such a neutral fragrance. It's bones are even inoffensive. It's unisex and citrus! I can see anyone wearing this. Male or female, teen or mature.

Honestly it's a hard one to pin down due to it being so ... Nothing.

The only thing I can say for sure about this is that if you over spray the amber can be too much. Definitely more of a daytime scent, maybe even for the gym. Fresh but not green or aquatic in any way I was expecting.

Like I would wear this after playing soccer. It's a bit like ... The memory of grass.

Very 90s.

Tunzz

I would describe this as a slightly creamy citrus. Starts off very citrusy but the vanilla starts to peak through in the dry down and says there. Fragrance is light and airy. Loved this as a teenager. My mum loves this too. I guess it’s perfect for the very young or more mature crowd.

rubybelle

Very fresh scent, citrus is the star and it smell beautiful on me for the 10 minutes it last on my skin. Definitely unisex in my opinion, I tried on my boyfriend and it was a lot more expressive on his skin, I loved it and could really smell the green notes come out. I agree that it does not smell synthetic to my nose, the grapefruit smells real and delicious.

I might wear this to the gym or somewhere I don't want to project much of anything, but will probably give to my boyfriend as it smells much nicer and more complex on him. For reference I have sensitive/dry type skin and he has more balanced/slightly oily skin type. Even as I am typing now I can barely even smell it on myself from 10 minutes ago :'(

smell_of_perfume

This scent is citrusy, warm and woody. The citrus smell doesn´t go away, niether on skin or clothes. On skin it smells more woody and amber and deep. On clothes it smells like lemonade, fresh cut citruses, aromatic and lightly sweet, very bright. I don´t think this perfume smells synthetic, the citruses here are very realistic (tangy, juicy, bitter, sweet).

DianaCooper3

Instant thick candy and powder scent on my skin which lead to a headache. Very surprised as was expecting a fresher clean scent with the grapefruit. Did not smell citrus at all. Smells very generic sweet mall scent imo.

ETA my skin seems to amplify any amber notes in a fragrance to the max, perhaps making them suffocatingly sweet on me when on others they would still smell fresh.

Eveningrose

It is a sweet and fresh summer/ spring scent . Similar to light blue but way better in my opinion! Even though the performance is not beast mode , this is worth repurchasing! Especially amazing for hot humid weather in my opinion !!! Beautiful and sexy clean scent ! I sense a sugary citrus and mint drink ! I have a back up bottle cus I liked it so much.

Jadetive

Fizzy sprite, energetic, pleasant, great for everyday.

Jewels1

I first bought this fragrance on a whim in 2015 and it quickly became one of my favorites. I'm very sensitive to fragrances and some (certain floral ones) give me a headache. This one always makes me feel good and and whenever I wear it I get compliments. I hope it always remains available.

Dark.Scent

Very light, after 10 minutes on my skin it went ... the scent would also be pleasant, but the persistence is ridiculous. It costs little, but unfortunately due to the low intensity it is worth even less. A defect that the perfumes produced by Coty often have. A pity...

Yes Malena

In the description it says, "Calvin Klein demonstrates that he still knows what young people need," which is cringe, and saying so only demonstrates the opposite. But that doesn't matter to me! It actually smells really good--there's a milkiness that just works in this fragrance, and I love the cedar. I'm surprised no one else mentions a lactonic impression from this. 🤷♀️ I am not sure about whether Coty is this watering-down Devil whom people have described; I wish I could say for sure, but I don't have the experience to tell. If they are doing that, the hatred is really justified. CK IN2U does have a strong alcohol smell upon spraying, which dissipates. I have the 100 ml bottle, which I feel like could last me at least two summers. But I do not wear this every day by any means. I go through streaks when I wear it repeatedly, then forget about it completely. I actually do find this fragrance sexy when I am in the right mood.

Update 09/02/22: I may have to disagree a bit with my first impressions, because now I don't feel like this "just works." I feel like IN2U really should work, I don't know why it doesn't work, and it's not just the name and the bottle. Feels unfinished.

Mandii_mondo7

This was a blind buy because of YouTube… let me say I don’t like citrus or cedar that much however something about this frangrance keeps drawing me in. The dry down on me is a bit too masculine but I’ve been layering it with VS bare vanilla and I’m loving it. I want to try ckin2u gold which is supposed to be this but better

Elisabeth_93

I think this is a very good parfum, especially for the price! 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! It’s fresh and clean but still feminine and it has a bit of elegance to it. Definitely worth trying!

princesslopez4890

This was my signature for a long time, all day, every day/ night, any occasion. This is very citrusy and bright in the beginning but it does not dry down that way. Sexy but not dirty, Fresh & clean but not soapy. Last all day/ all night, 8+hrs. Highly recommend 10/10, bringing this back out for spring/ summer. Sooooo many compliments every time!

SarahKatrina

Great Great freshie ! I love the grapefruit at the top and the vanilla that envelops it. There's definitely that Calvin klein dna present. It's a great every day, non offensive office type scent. Great for its value.

Ghostx

I wore this in a store the other day, and the sales associate assisting me needed a managers help and she mentioned to him she kept smelling pledge furniture cleaner so maybe this isn't a compliment getter. It's not for everyone but anyone can wear it if that makes sense. It's unisex smelling and never leans too masculine or feminine. It starts like warm pledge imo but the drydown is fresh and sweet. This works very well in hot summer days if you're wanting something unique and not a typical aquatic or fruity scent. Seems like a fragrance you either really like or you really don't. It smells really lovely to me.

lauraimelda

This smells like fresh squeezed orange juice in the opening and dries down to a vanilla, green fragrance. It doesn't last long and somehow smells like a typical CK fragrance. Jeans and white Tshirt. Very casual. I consider this a gym fragrance.

Ninalovesclassy

As every citrus, this lasts like an hour on me. BUT thats not a problem at all. To me this is the perfect summer fragrance - its a fresh lemony, orangey vanilla from start to finish. It smells like something you have smelled for the last 20 years (which is also kinda true).
To describe it best I would say that it smells cheap, but not in a bad manner, more like a fabric softener. This fragrance smells like clean sheets or laundry that you have just pulled out of the machine - this is what I mean when I say cheap. I love it and its also totally worth the money even with the poor longevity.
Everyone loves the CK One for a summer fragrance, but this is better.

Helena Voltaire

I have a huge problem with finding ''summer'' perfumes cause I don't like the generic citrus perfumes, eg. Light Blue, and sometimes my usual perfumes are a bit too much on 40+ weather. With that said, I have been absolutely obsessed with in2U since 8th grade. My friend used to wear it a lot and I got myself a 150ml bottle that I still have to this day. I think it was one of the first, if not the very first perfume I have ever had and I remember begging my mom to buy it for me cause back then I didn't have much money.
I personally feel an intense orange blossom in this one, and maybe it's the blend with the grapefruit and vanilla, but I just think orange blossom when I wear it. What can I say, it's the perfect summer day fragrance that you can not overspray, literally even if you have soaked your shirt it still smells nice and not overpowering. Longevity is not good, but I don't mind at all for the price, I will just keep it on me and spray all day long, it just smells like ''happy'' (still don't know if it's the memories that I have with it, but it puts me in a good mood). It reminds me of looong hot summer nights out with friends, maybe after a few drinks, you just laugh and have a good time. You can't go wrong with it, they have done a very good job with this one and I know I will forever have it in my collection.

So, YESS BUY IT IT'S AMAZING!!!!! :)

Modafashionista

I'm very disappointed... The opening is amazing it smells very expensive but after an hour or two it starts smelling very faint and almost like a plastic citrus smell. So it doesn't smell cheap but it doesn't last and the smell changes a lot with time on me.

Yussra smki

I didn’t like it at the beginning but then I started falling in love with it.
It’s the best fresh fragrance for hot summer morning dates,

Aromantra

It's not bad at all, but I would never classify it as feminine or even unisex - this is a very masculine scent. I love citruses and cedar, but I'm sorry, this is straight up men's aftershave.
The notes and reviews had me so excited, but sadly, this is not for me. It's a linear grapefruit/juniper scent (with no sweetness at all) and is quite potent for an EDT. A good afforable freshie for men.

Bri.md

If you’ve ever been to The Whaler in Santa Monica and had their raspberry lemonade, you’ll know this perfume smells almost exactly the way the drink tastes (if that made any sense)! Only difference is that the perfume has a hint of vanilla added to it.
This scent has easily become one of my favorites. I’ve been wearing it pretty much nonstop since I bought it! It has a really bright citrus opening and the dry down is a perfect mix of warm vanilla amber with a hint of that citrus still lingering.

CeruBlues

I am honestly still surprised I like this scent, as it doesn't really fit in with anything I usually go for. It's crisp and fresh, with just the slightest hint of warmth. I can smell the red cedar pretty prominently in the dry down, but the citrus lingers for quite a while too. It's just a really lovely, unusual and yet inoffensive scent, and seems to last for a while compared to other scents in it's price range.

sharky_shosho

Refreshing citrusy aromatic scent, great for hot summer days. Totally unisex. Great value to be honest.

sybilline

How fresh! I'll admit I got a bit tricked by the vanilla, since I thought the dry down would be sweeter, but it isn't sweet at all. After the sparkly top notes fade away, but before the dry down, there's a unique note that I'm assuming is the cactus, and I can't help but find that mid phase so damn charming. It's definitely a T-shirt and jeans kind of fragrance, for me. There's something about it that screams casual without trying too hard.

TatianaChoco

Very fresh and aromatic citrusy perfume. I had it in the past, I sold it. I have bought it these days and it is perfect. I have many fresh citrusy scents, but this is a little bit different, special and it can be unisex I think so.

Yussra smki

Ok after almost six monthes finally I’m writing this review…
First of all this perfume is totally a hot summer day fragrance, it’s not suitable for any other season and also not suitable for nights.
For me I dislike citrus perfumes so it took me long time to get used and accept how does it smells also when it dries down all of sudden it gets warm and heavy because it has vanilla and amber in base notes.
It can be actually considered as a unisex fragrance also, the first time I sprayed it I though that they made a mistake by putting male perfume in the female bottle … so yeah its a summer day refreshing citrus unisex perfume.

FlowerBabe

Love this blind buy, beautiful blend of citrus and vanilla. It's my go to perfume for work in warm days.

Cherry_Darling

Lovely grapefruit burst opening with some vanilla. Dries down a bit green, ambery and woody, not too sweet, not too herbal but ultimately also not super impressive. I can see the cactus associations. Could be a nice summer cheapie. Juniper makes this slightly masculine, can easily be unisex. Quite enjoying drydown which seems still citrussy I guess due to the tartness of the cassis.

Lulu Mermaid

Disappointed in this- I'd heard good reviews and thought I'd enjoy it so I blind bought it at TJ Maxx. At first spray this is an okay citrus, maybe a bit powdery and odd but not bad. However, on dry down, this smells awful on me. It becomes a dirty, sweaty, stale scent. I have to layer it under other fragrances in order to tolerate it. I was honestly expecting I'd love this especially with the cactus and citrus notes but oof this is not for me.

LizaJane

Blind Buy Win -

I actually really enjoy this. This is a perfect spring / summer scent, or whenever you want to smell "fresh". It's not your typical fresh scent though, it's quite unique in my opinion. It definitely leans more on the unisex / masculine side, due to the Red Cedar note but I actually really enjoy unisex / masculine scents on me.

It starts off with a blast of strong citrus, then quickly mellows out into a beautiful blend of soft citrus, vanilla, amber, and cedar. I don't pick up on the orchid, or the cactus blossom (not that I really know what that smells like). I'd call this a woodsy - vanilla.

I know a lot of people complain about the performance on this, but I'm actually quite impressed with it. I'm worn this several times and it lasts me all day with moderate projection. I'm currently wearing CK IN2U, and at 7 hours in I can still smell this quite prominently. I get wafts of it throughout the day, and I can still detect the fragrance on my skin.

Overall, a successful blind buy and $20 well spent.

AbideinChrist

If u want to transform this perfume into a sexy vanilla ambery lemonade. Layer with VS. Amber Romance!!

luna k

I really noticed the cedar and bergamot notes, less so the vanilla and orchid. This is a unusual scent and not a safe blind buy. As opposed to what most reviewers are saying it has an evident woody pine, bergamot end point which leans masculine. I'm surprised this isn't considered a unisex fragrance or even a masculine one. Blind bought it before I checked the notes after hearing it described as fresh citrus vanilla - amber but I couldn't detect vanilla much at all.

That said, I understand why woodsy citrus turpine lovers would adore this fragrance.

LolliMolly09

If this fragrance had more lasting power I would be OBSESSED. I love it! I don't normally fall for fresh or citrus fragrances unless they're tropical (this is definitely NOT tropical lol), but omg there is just something about this. My description will do this absolutely no justice, but the best explanation I have is that this is a sweet, warm, Lemon Pledge scent lol. It doesn't smell like cleaning products, but I just don't know how else to explain it. It's fresh, comforting, sweet, a little warm, and just... idk. I love it. If they could figure out a way to make this last and have a little throw (it's definitely a skin scent, no sillage to be found) I would buy this in bulk. As it is, I use it like a body spray and drench myself and my clothes in it. Even so, after an hour or two I can only smell it if I lift my shirt or arm to my nose. Such a pity because this fragrance is delicious.

Calvin Klein’s In2U for Her is THE OG, and the perfume I’ve owned the longest. This was, interestingly, a blind buy. A friend of a friend, having read my humble note on perfumes, recommended this perfume to me, and while I didn’t exactly have access to it from my humble hometown, I always kept that in mind. Two years later, I casually mentioned the name to the “not sure if he is my boyfriend” person in my life. And a few months down the line, when our families had already talked about us getting married and we decided to meet for the first time as potential partners, this was what he brought for me, and this was what I wore when I was falling deep, deep in love with him. Cheesy, yes? But hey, I was all of 24, and realising I had already met the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with was a heady feeling.

Each time I sniff this perfume, I immediately see me in a yellow top with thin straps – a fun, flirty girly piece I discarded from my wardrobe just a few months ago because it was worn to death. I had bought that top right before my fiance landed in Bangalore from Vietnam, when we took a trip with my sister and brother-in-law (who, by the way, are his college mates) to Pondicherry. It was the thick of summer, and our hotel room overlooked the rocky beach. This was the perfume that stayed with me when we went out for that lunch where he cut my pork ribs for me (such a sweetheart!), when we went to the beach to see the sunset and my brother-in-law took candid photos of us (still some of my favourite photos in the whole wide world) and even when we went to that serenely intimate French restaurant for our engagement party and I came back to the room slightly wobbly and lightheaded from all the wine.

CK In2U Her is summer in a bottle. 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. CK perfumes unfortunately don’t have a very good reputation longevity and projection wise, and until recently I belonged to the group of people who dismissed any perfume that doesn’t last very long. What’s the point of wearing perfume if no one can smell it on you? But then I was initiated into the idea of – surprise, surprise – respraying. Groundbreaking stuff, I know. If I needed any more reason to love this perfume, it is extremely easy on the pockets, which is why you won’t even mind spraying it again, and again, and again. Oh, hello sunshine!

If you were to ask me to recommend one, just one perfume to you, I would probably say CK In2U Her. It’s such a crowd pleasing perfume. More than the smell, I think it encapsulates the essence of summer – the invigorating nip in the air after a bout of summer rain when you can smell the wet earth, the eye-blinding brightness of a white sheet drying in the sun, the sweet-sour thirst-quenching harmony of a tall glass of lemonade and for me, that of being young and in love and walking on the beach wearing flip-flops, holding the hand of the man I was falling in love with.

FlorecitaBonita

Smells very pink grapefruit very limoney...
linear, one note, fresh
but lacks depth for me, although I love citrus smells one linear ones are like being one big walking lemon or in this case one pink grapefruit walking...

Very straight forward and not so sophisticated citrus fragrance. Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone above 21.

I’ve been wearing this perfume on and off for the past 10 years and still can’t get enough of it, so under rated!

windi450

im usually into vanillas or marshmallowy-fruit scents, but i am IN LOVE WITH THIS PERFUME. this is the only citrus perfume I have fallen in love with so far

beforesunset_mj

Not a fan of this one, I initially really liked it but with time the smell got annoying. I am still new to perfumes but citrusy is not my thing. It barely stays and I finished the whole thing without anyone ever mentioning the smell. Either they weren't a fan or they just couldn't smell it.

li_day

Citrusy and spicy with depth at the opening and it gets a little bit sweeter as it dries down. I personally find it works equally in every weather and season. It lasts 4 to 5 hours, but it becomes a skin scent after 3 to 4 hours. Perfectly unisex though leaning on the feminine side as it dries.
I wouldn't be able to pick any separate note except for the grapefruit. However, I certainly think it has that CK DNA.
It smells more expensive than the retail price for sure as it has it's own personality.

AMGMoonHalo

At first, I did not care much for this. If you are familiar with Calvin Klein's Eternity Summer scents, then smell this, you'll recognize the DNA. I adore light, bright, citrusy scents and light watery florals. This in comparison to my Guess Dare, CKin2U leans more unisex.

LolliMolly09

The opening is very citrusy/springy/bright and while I didn't hate it, I also didn't love it. The dry down though, I love! It deepens, get a bit sweeter, but still with that bit of citrus. This is a very nice, clean smell without being soapy or laundry-like. I think it would be great for the office. My only issue is that while the opening is a bit bright and loud, it VERY quickly fades to skin only. I can't even really smell it on myself unless I huff my clothes or wrist. I'll have to treat this more like a body spray than a perfume, which I don't mind for the price.

Aglopez09

I came across this perfume on a YouTube video where Ksenja gushed about her love for this perfume . Boy was she right !!! It smells fresh yet sexy , citrusy yet sultry . It smells expensive yet $20 at tj maxx ? Score !!! It’s definitely a sprint / summer scent but I have to admit, I may wear it this winter because I love it THAT much . My husband is not one to love all of my perfumes because of how sugary sweet I like them but he really liked this one ! ( it’s not sugary sweet ).

victoriabarretta

I agree with the comment below. I read and heard so many positive things about this and the notes looked promising. I picked up a 3.4 oz at Marshall’s on a blind buy for $20 or so.

However the dry down is odd to me. It is strangely stale and masculine. I am not overly feminine with my perfume tastes and can handle unisex fragrances, but the dry down smells like a cheap men’s cologne in its final appearance before disappearing completely.

Maybe it’s the cedar?

Edit: I just tried the CK Gold and it smells like the MUCH better version of this.

qofb

I blind bought this as a YouTube recommendation for summer. The opening is wow, fresh citrus, perfect. Then within seconds, the dry down begins and I begin to dislike this more and more. It took me a while to work out what this smelt like, but I get a few things. I used to spend every working day wearing latex gloves and that powdery latex is what the drydown reminds me of. I also get a smoker covering up their smoking with gum from this and a log cabin in a pine forest. I think this perfume is more autumn for me, it's got a lot of warmth to it despite the fresh citrusy opening. Needless to say, this isn't for me but it doesn't mean it's not for you. A lot of people love this one. It's now found a new home!

celofyz

Absolutely stunning fragrance with near to zero longevity&projection. The opening is fresh and citrusy, the dry down creamy and alluring. I would pay 10 times more for the same smell but lasting at least 3 hours. Anyway, I'll repurchase for sure.

Seldarius

I really wanted to like this. On paper it ticks all the boxes, juicy fresh citrus, the typical unisex quality of ck fragrances, and a dry down into vanilla and amber to make it more feminine. What could possibly go wrong? It opens with a very in-my-face, rather masculine citrus scent, then quickly turns into nothing much on my skin. A faint cologne smell lingers, but doesn’t excite me either. What a shame.

Yussra smki

I was testing it for two months now, I don’t like it at all it’s a unisex perfume.
It starts with a strong citrus opening, then the base notes sandalwood starts .. the notes are not blended well

emanuellegauthier

SO GOOD! I love it, it's such a nice citrus scent OMG! It has this sweetness also that makes it perfect! Amazing for summer! Only thing is you have to reapply, but I don't mind! I ALWAYS get compliments wearing this one!

darkwitch

This is a lovely fragrance with an unusual note that I assume is the cactus since it outlasts the opening grapefruit and citrus. Orchid is an imaginary floral note, so it's not that. It only works well in warm weather, so late spring, summer and early fall. Now sadly it doesn't last very long, perhaps 3 hours, so I have been been looking for something similar with more longevity. FCUK Late Night is definitely not it, as it is missing the lovely cactus smell.

Thegrimmreaderr

What can I say? I love it. It's a beautiful perfume for very little money....and that's my favorite kind!! I first heard of this from Ksenja's YouTube channel and she highly recommended it. I was still wary because my taste isn't the same as hers but I figured in would try it anyway because it was less than $20 for a huge bottle. Another $2 would have gotten me double the size but I didn't want that massive thing in my collection and I still wasn't sure what it smelled like but OMG it was love at first sniff for me and I'll never be without it again. It's fresh and zesty but there's a sweetness to it at the same time that is very addicting. I can't stop smelling my wrist when I spray this. Overspraying is required w this one but that shouldn't be an issue considering the price point. This could be worn in the Fall, Spring and Summer but not in the Winter. It's a pleasant day time fragrance that is an easy reach. Perfect for the gym, running errands or staying at home....a major win in my collection.

SamanthaSA

This smells awesome on me. Love the zesty opening! BUT my skin eats fragrances so within 2 hours any hint of the perfume is gone. I have tried every tip and hack to prolong my perfume. Any recommendations of another perfume it can be layered with?

Nataliemarie

In this I smell CK One, CK Be, & Grapefruit. I am not getting much Vanilla on my skin, or Sandalwood on the drydown. Sandalwood isn't listed, so I guess some are getting that note as it's turning on their skin. I am not in love, I hope I will get there like some of you have!

Blind buy because someone said it smells like Jo Malone's Wood Sage and Sea Salt. It does not. It is not only horrendous on me, I cannot seem to scrub it off and may have to amputate my left arm.

To me, this smells exactly like old-school English Leather, like my granddad used to wear. It's got just the tiniest whiff of citrus before drying down to a leathery vanilla and a nuclear blast of civet--the cat urine kind. I have tried regular soap, dish soap, a kitchen-cleaning solvent, citrus oil, and the abrasive side of the dish sponge and it's still just blaring away. If this smells good on you, congratulations; you've got your money's worth as one spritz will likely last a week.

Nicyoung

Its ok for a cheap frag.. better then other celeb frags, but nothing that impressive, subtle smoothn lime and pine frag,w a little bit of something creamy barley underneath. Not bad.. Not great.. NOTHING like Santal Complet. Its reminiscent of a deodorant leaning a little masculine to me.. Smells different, much better, when Im outside then when I smell it on my skin inside.---CheriLyn exactly!

kittymoon

This bottle! Why?! It looks so so cheap, and it smells so good! First spritz I get the original ck one, mixed with grapefruit. I like the drydown most, once it warms up it sweetens and becomes this Byredo Gypsy Water meets Bal d'Afrique in a pinetree forest scent. It smells spa like, similar to some Rituals shower gels. Refreshingly different from mainstream perfumes.

CheriLyn

I have a love hate relationship with this perfume. Sometimes it's a nice smooth creamy vanilla and sometimes it's a heavy headache inducing perfume. Maybe it has something to do with weather and body chemistry/sweat? Have to test this one out more...

Sirenolympia

Soft citrus and not overwhelming bergamot scent. I love this perfume. Smell expensive for me and not boring at all. A good combination green, sweet creamy, and woody but really interesting. I smell a little bit salty, isn't it?
I will definitely repurchase. This is my best daily perfume.

Aiga1

This is unisex, even masculine, but I love it so much, will always have this in my collection. Very fresh. with underlying sweetness.

lovealwaysalisa

Blind bought this after seeing it for under $12. On first sniff it reminded me of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Lavender, which I own and love. CKIN2U dries down sweeter, a bit creamier and more feminine than the Green Tea Lavender. I agree that it is quite unisex. I was a bit disappointed that it smelled so similar to something I already own but the beauty in this one is in the drydown. A very easy reach kind of scent. I mostly get a bright grapefruit/green fragrance with a touch of creamy vanilla and amber in the drydown. For me it would work well all year round because of the notes in the base but I would most likely reach for this in the spring, summer ,and early fall. Sillage is pretty close to the skin on me and longevity is about 4 hours on my skin and a bit longer on clothing. Definitely smells better on my skin though.

Casamir

Very beautiful and unisex fragrance. A soft citrus scent with a slight floral note. It actually reminds me very much of L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme - somewhere between fresh lemonade and spray laundry starch.
I can almost smell a little vanilla in the drydown, but I have to concentrate to recognize it being there.

Fashionplatefanny

This was a blind covid lockdown buy and I’m so excited to actually love it!

It is such a happy fragrance. Reminds me of my younger years. It opens with a fresh sporty citrus, leans a little masculine in the beginning but quickly calms down to a smooth creamy vanilla, floral fragrance. The cactus last through to the end. This is reminiscent of D&G Light Blue but without the screechy metalic salt note. It’s refreshing and upbeat. Nice for spring/summer. Could be unisex however it leans feminine in the middle and dry down.

PR 87

I got this perfume thinking as many reviews state that it has a sort of sweet dry down but nopeeee this opens up with a citrusy note that last about five minutes and then goes straight to that red cedar note that on me it's so headache inducing and masculine it reminds me of pines and I couldn't wait to wash it off. So beware because everyone's pH is different. I will try this in the winter to see if I can work with it and I'll give an update.

ClaireNewzealand

This is actually really beautiful on the dry down , I definitely get the gypsy water comparison but ONLY on the dry down , It's definitely unisex , but on dry down it turns slightly sweet and I almost get a pine/lemon vibe. don't listen to the negative feedback until you have tried for yourself

GinCatsBooks

An ex used to wear In2U Him and whenever I catch a whiff of it on someone walking past me, the smell makes me shudder, not because its a horrible scent but because of the associations with him, naturally I also wrote off ever testing this out but 3 years have passed and I've had a growing curiosity about this scent, not just because the bottle is interesting and I finally purchased a 100ml bottle for a really reasonable price.

The scent is fresh, youthful and I'd say something quite unique, I've never smelt anything that smells quite like this before, I've also never had a scent which is quite as woody on me as this is either. Predominantly, I can smell red cedar, vanilla and amber which makes this feel quite unisex leaning towards more masculine, but despite the strength of those notes on my skin, it doesnt feel heavy or thick because of the bergamot and grapefruit adding some juicy zestiness, I can also smell a green aquatic accord which is probably from the cactus, I'd actually go as far as to say this is a woody aquatic vanilla on me, but unlike the other reviewers, on me, this doesnt smell particularly sweet.

The silage is moderate; enough to smell and feel fresh but not enough to rock a room or fumigate a bus or train carriage, longevity so far is brilliant, I'm at the 4hr mark so far and can still smell it quite strongly from 4 sprays.
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.
The price is so affordable, you can also get it in a huge 150ml bottle too
Will repurchase, perfect easy reach/everyday work scent
Love it!

Pebblesjebbles333

I blind bought this base on some of the positive reviews i read and saw. This arrived in the mail today. I wasn’t really expecting much, I was thinking its just gonna be another citrus scent which I have lots of.

But man, it was a very pleasant surprise! It is a sweeter kind of citrus that smells soooo good! When a perfume makes me feel giddy, it is always a WIN! I see where some people say that it kind of reminds them of an orange creamsicle. This smells delicious yet clean and bright. It also sometimes kinds of reminds me of a sweeter and more orange aqua bella by la rive. I think this is a safe blind buy. Smells great!

kaittt

This perfume was the first that I ever fell in love with enough to repurchase. It's a citrusy, woody, friendly scent that reminds me of a summer picnic. It's the perfect balance of subtle sweetness, with vanilla and florals. This perfume reminds me of being innocent and free in your 20s, but is still a scent anyone could wear.

Frenchess

I love citrus forward, woody fragrances, and this perfume fits the bill, however the performance is weak.

It’s very unisex, leaning more masculine than feminine, so I’ll be returning this blind buy.

sisina96rv

Zesty, fizzy, green lemon mixed with aromatic mandarine, bitter-sweet grapefruit and black current leaf in the opening, immediately followed by smooth, creamy vanilla and sandalwood. And a pinch of amber. This is what I got. If you look at the notes, I was not so far away. 😊 Beatifully blended, expensively smelling...
For the first 30 minutes.
And then it's gone. 😁
I wanted to sample it, as Ms. Rawling pointed out that this could be a less expensive alternative to FdB Santal Complet. Well, I wouldn't buy it anyway. The longevity is very short. Sorry, Demi 🤷♀️

hexed

Refreshing like a G&T at the end of a long night, but sweeter.
Something that would fit nurses.

mapache

What a nice surprise. This stuff smells great !
Too bad that it does not last long on the skin.....but for what it is...that's OK by me.

I get citrusy/vanilla and "green" vibes...with an ambery/light woody vibe underneath. The final dry down is like powdery ambery vibes.
Great spring/summer/beach/casual scent. Easy to like...easy to wear. Very nice vibe !!
I really really like this ....so far.

heatherrose

This is a juicy, vibrant, and overall very yummy fragrance. It opens as a bright zesty citrus. But what I love about it and what makes it unique are the sweet woodsy undertones - the vanilla and red cedar really do wonders for this fragrance.

A similar vibe to Gypsy Water but not a dupe - it's beautiful in it's own right.

Dort0625

I don’t care what anyone thinks but to me Calvin Klein as a brand has the largest amount of fragrances I looooove. Got a lovely full size travel roughly 20ml size in a swap with a gal pal on here. One I wish I hadn’t waited on this for so long because this is definitely a new found favourite! Try them out’ so fresh so citrusy and full of summer life!! LOVE IT

Noha8

Complex, expensive, unique, unisex scent, with weak longivity and poor silage. The scent juice is pure and very well done. It is lemony, green and woody balance with a hint of pleasing floral sweetness. I would be happy if it's better performance.

michalka9

To me it smells expensive, like an expensive shop

Sannahnilsson

Bought it because Im so in love with fdb santal complet but didn’t want to pay the high Pricetag! And this is sort of similar, but it doesn’t make me crave santal complet any less so I have decided to sell this and just save up🌟

MyAlabasterJar

I picked this up super cheap like $29, and I put on straight out of the shower. It's a fresh, airy, citrus scent with masculine amber undertones. I get no floral whatsoever. I literally spray my whole body after a shower - it smells like a clean male shower gel and i still smell on my skin when I awake in the am - 8 hours later. Pretty basic scent not a lot of substance all I get is bergamot and amber. However, it is currently winter here and I can't wait to wear this is summer, I am predicting other notes to come out in the heat. A friend of mine was standing next to me the other day with men next to us too, she asked them if they were wearing Versace Dylan blue - but I knew she was smelling me - the citrus / musky amber smells slightly similar to the opening notes of Dylan Blue.

Amandatavares

This scent for me is a summer scent that I spray right after a shower. Smells really fresh and clean. Leans a bit masculine on me. It’s an interesting scent that is very linear. Didn’t have crazy lasting power, but it is decent. I get the cactus 🌵 which is nice and different. Doesn’t smell amazingly expensive or anything, but it is a pleasant scent.

SailorV

This is so refreshing! The opening is sparkling like a homemade lemonade, very fitting for the bottle. It's fresh, green, super citrusy, a little sweet and a little woody. The cactus note reminds me of prickly pear, which I love.
I do not get a lot of vanilla in this, only a very light hint, so it doesn't smell gourmand or cakey to me. It just has a slight warmth in the base.
Like some others said, this could easily be a unisex fragrance. It's not manly, but not particularly feminine either. It's sporty, but not in the abrasive 'smells like a blue shower gel' way. To me it has the same cozy feeling as wearing a shirt from your husband or boyfriend, especially after the first lemonade blast has calmed down.

In my opinion this bears some similarity to the much more expensive Byredo Gypsy Water. They're by no means dupes for each other, but the general vibe of citrus, juniper (red cedar) and a light vanilla base is definitely in the same ballpark. CK In2u has less vanilla and is more sparkling and fruity in comparison, and it's also more present and performs better on me. It's still a lighter citrus scent and won't knock anyone out, but especially for the very affordable price I can't complain here. Strong like!

Chalkline

Gifted to me about 15 years ago so I thought I'd try it out before it goes off.

Started wearing it a couple of months ago, in the winter. Couldn't smell anything at all, no matter how many times I sprayed it. After a while I could sort of maybe smell something very faint and fresh.

Just put it on today and now I love it! I guess it helps that it's springtime and warmer out now. Wear it during the warmer months if you want to make the most of the scent!!

It opens up fresh and cactus/lime-y and the drydown is a warm vanilla grapefruit! Right up my alley, cute but lively.

Longevity is ok/moderate, sillage is intimate/near the skin.

Won't buy another bottle though.

Nickj3216

This is super nice and clean for anyway I use this for the gym and it’s nice

ashely

I had a client who wore this all the time and it smelled BEAUTIFUL on her. Delicate, whispy orange blossoms with a hint of vanilla - not too sweet, clean and glamorous. On ME, the vanilla and cedar note mix together in a really weird, screechy synthetic way. I smell Like an orange creamsicle pop that went bad. So nauseating on my own skin. I ended up giving my full size bottle to my client because it was so depressing on me lol

Jexotic

Disappears in minutes.

Like, five minutes. And I don’t mean “skin scent” I mean ..... g o n e.

When it is there, grapefruit, cactus and that unmistakable deep CK smell. Its actually great, but it just vanishes into thin air.

I’ve tried spraying it on fabric, skin, hair, etc. Sticks to nothing. Too bad, because I love it.

If you like this, check out guess “dare” the pink one. It’s citrus and freshness in a bottle.

LawmaLlama

Nice post shower body spray. Performance is abysmal, but if you overspray it, it's nice for about 10 minutes. Probably why they sell it for so cheap in a 5 oz bottle.

Science&Scents

I was interested in this for the grapefruit and cactus notes and it does not disappoint. This will be an easy reach for those 100F+ days here in CA. It's fresh, a little woody and the vanilla gives it a touch (and I mean almost imperceptible) of sweetness. Kind of reminds me of a lime and cactus spritzer.

I like it but I can see how it can come off a little masculine. That said, I don't find it any more "masculine" than Omnia Crystalline or Fresh Hesperides or even Light Blue, and CKin2U can be had for a very reasonable price atm, by comparison.

I can't really speak to longevity since it just showed up this afternoon but I'm excited to reach for this as the weather heats up. Cheers!

Edit: OMG layered with Alien eau extraordinaire is a WINNER. CKIN2U gives me what I was missing from the other and AEE gives that little extra bit of floral. Chef's kiss!

fleardella

I'd say it's an unisex perfume, fresh and "green". Not the biggest fan, cause I like perfumes that are much fresher and feminine.

citrinemalachite

I blind bought this because I read here that it’s smells similar to Gypsy Water. When I first sprayed it I could totally see the resemblance, but it definitely lacks the depth that Gypsy water has, I mean the vanilla, orris, sandalwood. It smells a lot lighter and reminds me of a men’s shower gel sort of scent, and a lot of men’s colognes and deodorants. It really smells more masculine than I expected. I mean I would say it smells more like a men’s fragrance than a woman’s while Gypsy Water seems unisex or slightly feminine to me (yeah I know it’s all a social construct but if you have smelled fragrances marketed for men you know what I mean).
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! Santal Complet was basically a rich vanilla and sandalwood and this is not, it’s much fresher and the creamy vanilla is lacking! It smells nice but compared to Gypsy Water or Santal Complet it’s definitely not a replacement if you love those fragrances. I think if you really hate the longevity issues and the high prices of the other two and you want a dupe then sure you can get this, after all it’s very cheap.

SophiaG

I was unimpressed by this the first time I smelled it, but it turns out to be very nice - I see the similarity to Santal Complet, yet I don't find them similar enough to prevent me from owning both. If you have not sampled (or cannot afford, understandably) the Fragrance du Bois fragrance, this is a good, cheap option that is in the same scent territory. This certainly pulls more citrusy that SC, and is a little shampoo-y until the later drydown.
A great casual, everyday fragrance that is suitable for literally any weather. And so cheap!

Edit: It turns out that this is my easiest reach. It's not too strong for sensitive noses at work, and it settles right between casual and sexy, so it's perfect for either everyday wear or date night. Try it out!

Malindablove

Just found this for the first time in YEARS, it's exactly the same! This is labeled for women but I think it's more unisex . It's so strange how bright, clean, sweet and mysteriously dark/ warm it is at the same time. You can find this relatively cheap also , it's a great blind buy!

Itstartedwithtinkerbell

I bought a little 15 ml bottle to test this out of pure curiosity. I actually love this! I think it smells very much in the same vein of Tocca Colette and Gypsy Water (which I’ve sampled). I have an Arabian dupe oil of Gypsy water too, and it also smells like these. Basically to me this is a light, fresh and interesting lemony vanilla and herbal scent. It scratches the same itch as all the mentioned fragrances. It’s super super light in performance. I spray very heavy handed with this one and it remains light. I say go for the 5 oz bottle and feel free to go ham with it. I’ve never smelled Fragrance Du Bois Santal Complet, but Demi Rawlings said this is a great cheapie alternative because it smells like the dry down of that one.

Ruby Galore

fresh and warm.
I put on a leather jacket, put on this perfume and light a cigarette..that combination of scents..la la la

vos

Hoped to love this one as i have a new craving for non aquatic fresh scents lately. Unfortunately this one doesn't work on my skin. Do get a blast of wonderful grapefruit in the opening, but things go wrong after that. Base notes on me are dominated by a harsh metallic bitter note (the ceder?) that gave me a headache. My skin amplifies woody notes so this was not entirely unexpected but still a bit sad.

dunder988

a biiiiig love. I bought this during summertime, and I fell in love with this right away. Inital spray is masculine citrus, but once it settles down I get a tropical accourd (is it cactus?) but also very sweet amber/vanilia. It is very aromatic and a scent that I cant see someone not liking. However, on winter I feel like the vanilia hides because I only get the vanilia and tropical note during summer.

SallyGirl

Damn. Just damn. This is like wearing an actual citrus tree, stems, leaves and trunk. The WHOLE tree. I adore this perfume, just when the citrus becomes almost too much in enters the warm vanilla to cut through those salivating top notes (yes, salivate, I feel as if I can taste this perfume).
I’m not mad about this lovely perfume, only her performance. Does not last that long on my skin, however, it’s bitter cold and Feb in Michigan. I have a feeling that in the warmer months this baby will be unstoppable...at least 🤞🏻 I hope. I don’t normally do this type of scent, more of a Angel, Obsession, Tabu type of gal. I dig it. This is good as hell, I’m going to pick up another bottle at Marshall’s (19.99). No regerts. 10/10

alisha-gabrielle

This perfume just wasn’t for me. (I received it as a gift) definitely can be worn as uni-sex, which for me I like my perfumes to be strongly for women, and sweet smelling. Very mild, boring smell- citrus scent. Tried lots of times to like it but it’s a no from me!

Bgm_1923

Warm and spicy scent, somewhat reminiscent of Jo Malone wood sage & sea salt. Vanilla, salt, caramel, herbs.

Xombieloaf

There are just some frags that grow on you and there are those that don't even try. There are some frags that simply miss the mark no matter how try to think of it in a better way. I thought I made another blind buy mistake with this one but I gave it another shot and paid a little more attention.

Since then it continues to impress, I was afraid that this would turnout linear and cheap, but it tells a beautiful story for the senses. I do wish the citrus opening would last a little bit longer but if it weren't for the grapefruit, this would probably be dated.

I appreciate the amber in the drydown, it's what makes it smell and keep it's sense of luxe. the vanilla is not drugstore lotion vanilla, it marries the top and base notes well.

The masculinity to me is just a smidge, enough to give this beauty a little zhujzzh.

The more I wear it the more I love it. It has all my fave kinds of scents.. Clean, sweet, creamy, citrusy, a bit of spice, a bit of musk.. Ughhh it's divine 🤍

LuckyMommy

Most definitely a unisex scent .
I like it , especially on first spray, yummie sweet orange, but it goes away to quickly.
My son says it smells like a mojito and I kind of agree with that.
I didn't care for it in the beginning but now when it has been in my collection for over a year it smells really good

dennisisahypocrite

My first impression with this perfume is that it smells like male shower gel. Quite unisex, even leaning the male side of the spectrum, despite the "her" on the bottle. And when I read "techno-sexual generation" in the description, it makes perfect sense. I exhaled through nose like what you do when you read something amusing on the internet. Of course it's techno-sexual! It really does blur the gender line in perfume, and really does encapsulate the vibe of this day and age.

So much for my efforts for becoming more feminine, I thought - how could I ever attract someone of the opposite sex with this male shower gel perfume?

But as I wear this more and more, I feel more comfortable with it. When it dries down and the alcohol evaporates, the fragrance is actually quite sweet and dare I say, feminine. It does still smell a bit synthetic but hey, that makes the perfume feel very urban. You know when some perfume feels like it's mostly worn by grandmothers? Not this one. Maybe half a century later, some young adult who lives in a cyberpunk world will associate this smell with grandmas. Maybe techno-sexual will be the new flowery powdery scent.

Bling21

I do not know why a lot of people don’t talk about this perfume, it is so beautiful, smells very fresh and clean. I smelled this perfume for the first time on my friend and I had to get it. Smells very citrusy and expensive and has amazing silleage and lasting power. I use this with either CH good girl or pink sugar and it’s gorgeous.

Juicyj

Absolute Bullshit. I was so invested after reading the reviews on fragrantica but let me be real here, I got this last month and this perfume smells NOTHING like what it says and I can assure you it smells exactly like a men's perfume. I even gave it away to my brother for how not-so-feminine it smells.
It also has no notes of vanilla and smells super cheap and mediocre. It doesn't smell sweet, it rather smells strong & lemony (quite unpleasant like in floor cleaners) with deep musk undertones (which seems to appear in 20 mins after putting it on, which is a bummer.

If you're looking for a sweet smelling citrusy-fruity popsicle like perfume with rich vanilla notes checkout "Al Hobb Hayat Rasasi". Got it last week and it definitely met my expectations to what ckin2u could've been. Without doubt it's feminine, mature and "Fruity" haha.

Woodamber

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I love to eat grapefruit and this certainly smells like the real deal. Its crisp and bright on the first spray. I just get the beautiful bitterness of grapefruit at first. It's joyful and bright! Definitely something for summer. In the background I can smell smoke and a bit of spicy wood. Enough to make it all interesting and lingering on my skin without being overpowering.
Then it evolves into creamy and warm vanilla.
It takes me somewhere sunny and warm while drinking/eating something fruity and refreshing.
I think this one works for both summer days and evenings.
I was shocked by the longevity!! It stayed on my skin for more than 10 hours. Also the sillage was at arms length still after all these hours!! Certainly praiseworthy as well as priceworthy :)

marianatzeitel

This was... disappointing. To clarify, I'm a vanillaholic, and was looking for a citrucy summery vanilla to add to my library. Instead, what I get from this is a cedar spice.
I actually thought for a second that my bottle had gone off (the ambery color didn't ease my suspicions) and had to test it on a tissue. On paper, it was just as described: a bergamot grapefruit burst, with just the slightest hint of flower from the orchid and succulent from the cactus. Took a while to dry down, but it became a very unique warm-crisp combo. If vanilla had a wood and that wood was still green, this would be it. It's not warm exactly, but it's soft, delicate, luscious and crisp all at once. Gorgeous and I'd kill to get that scent on me.
On me, however, nothing like it AT ALL. On me it's so spicy. I get a lot of wood and, for some god forsaken reason, it's peppery. I think the red currant leaf is reacting with my skin and it overwhelms the entire composition.

I can see how some people find it leans masculine. It isn't too fememine to begin and if someone else had the same reaction as me, most of the other notes are aromatic or fresh, with only the orchid or the vanilla to feminize it. And they're not strong enought to push through. So cedar and spice it is.

I rembemer testing it when it came out and it being a vanilla summer. I don't know if it's the weather, if my skin chemistry changed or maybe they tweaked the formula (it is significantly cheaper now). I don't hate it, and I know I like and can pull spice bombs off. It's just not what it was meant to be.
I'll give it a try when the air is dryer or I'll layer it to add an edge to other perfumes.

Despair

I'm not usually a huge fan of CK fragrances, but I received IN2U as a gift and I actually really enjoy it. This is quite warm for a citrus scent, and the cactus note makes it more interesting to me. The base is a lovely blend of vanilla and amber, not sweet at all, just creamy and delicious. Longevity and projection isn't amazing but for the price, I think this is a beautiful summer scent. Could easily pass as unisex too.

rosegoldrosie

I was expecting to really enjoy this one based on the reviews here and the type of fragrances I enjoy. However I tried it today and didn't mind it on paper, but when I sprayed it onto my skin it turned into bugspray chemically smell, like Lemon Pledge. I had to scrub it off as soon as I got home. 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.

Lollia007

Aaah... for me, this is New York, New York in a bottle. When the boys are like girls and the girls are like boys, when the freedom is not only a political slogan but also ability of self expression in your unique way.
I bought this fragrance first time shortly after it's launch and also - shortly before I visited New York for the first time. That's why it draws a picture of Time Square, Liberty Monument, The Empire State Building, American Dream,the uniqueness of you yourself... I was using it all the time when I was there!
I find it is quite close to Calvin Klein One, but more intense with Grapefruits and Vanilla, and more feminine. It's actually very warm fragrance, taking into consideration dominance of citruses and how I usually try to avoid those from my perfumes. Still it's not purely feminine, but a bit more freedom-seeking, androgyny, unisex, rebellious...
I repurchase the bottle from time to time as the silage and longevity is impressive.

JustSimpleThings

Very pleasant musky sweet grapefruit scent. Long-lasting and projects very well. Impressive for a citrus scent!

The dry-down is slightly powdery vanilla, surprisingly feminine for a CK scent.

pomz

First bought years ago when released and bought now as i just wanted to try a cheap and cheerful uplifting scent for covid 19 and the warmer seasons.

I can confirm that its still beautiful, fresh and warm at the same time, exactly my kind of smell. a citrus scent with something there to soften it.

the base note ends really well too - sometimes i love a scent but can't tolerate the smell after a few hours.

this seems to last well on me for an edt, very happy

Miasha

I bought this when it was new, as a gift for myself for Mother’s Day, a couple of months after a painful divorce - as a mark towards a new beginning. It was, and still is, the most beautiful summer fragrance I had ever smelled. I tried it on in the store, and went out; I did not walk many meters before I turned back and bought it right away. And I still love it as much!!
I see here, that it is marketed towards young women, but I don’t care!!! At all. I am not very young anymore, but maybe I am young at heart...
I was very surprised when I saw the notes - I never would have guessed it has grapefruit in it! But now that I know, it makes sense. It gives balance to the floweryness. I have only recently started to learn a little more about perfumes and their notes - when I bought this I had absolutely no idea, I just percieved it as oh so lovely!!!

P.S. - I see that some people think it is unisex! I do not agree with that at all. For me, this is extremely feminine, and nothing else!! 🌼✨☀️🌱👌

xx2901

Oh my goodness, this is delicious memory scent. CKin2U I wore together with Flowerbomb as my signatures. As I can't stand retro feminine perfumes, but I dose myself in sweet fruity sprays, this is totally my thing. It starts with bitter bergamot and proceeeds to be fruity till dries and becomes sexy sandalwood and warm vanilla. I think this is classic all-year-round and all-type-occasion perfume.

Paule273

As a Calvin Klein perfume lover, I claim this perfume as really good one. It’s not annoying, I get complimented a lot when wearing this scent, it’s unisex so many people notice the smell and says that it’s good.

Lavandermilk

This is such a fun summertime scent. It will make you smell like a literal dreamsicle. You get that big citrus scent when you spray it that is fastly met with creamy vanilla. Its fresh and yummy but its not really sweet which I love.

It has decent silage but the lasting power is just okay. I find thats pretty standard with Ck fragrances. If youre a fan of ck1, ck2, ck u or the like then I think you will enjoy this. Its very unisex.

I snagged this for $12 at Tj Maxx and im so happy I did. Worth every dollar and probably a few more.

bel.gravia

Ahhhh why haven't I bought it earlier??
CK IN2U has a very prominent cactus note which makes it so unique. It is fun, playful and well blended, just like in Cavalli's Paradiso Assoluto I can smell that gorgeous vanilla. The four perfumers (yes!four!) did at that time an unexpected move - a contrasting rather than complimentary composition. The vanilla is contrasted with pink grapefruit and Sicilian bergamot. Sweet and citrusy with a hint of floral, I would not call IN2U an abstract composition. It smells like a summer cocktail, like pina colada and mojito blended together - in the most delicious way possible!
