This is the first time that receiving a perfume sample led to me purchasing the actual product. I’ve never been a fan of any CK perfume in the past, but I really like CK Shock for women. It has a subtle sweet smell. Not sickly sweet, just natural. It smells very pretty like flowers. The scent is very uplifting. It’s also not an overpowering scent and tends to fade slightly within a few hours. This may be a con for some people, but I don’t mind at all! It doesn’t fade completely, so no worries about that! :) I have allergies and find that I have bad reactions to a lot of perfumes – but not this one! It wears like a body spritz. :)
