    RED BULL ACCORD?!? LMAO!!!
    Oddly enough, the packaging reminded me of those little alcohol bottles you can buy at the liquor store by the cash register.

      I swapped my coffee as I read Red Bull Accord.

        I’m glad to know I’m not the only one. Just add essence of Cheetos and Britney Spears will be all over you.

      I was very surprised to see that…would think the term would be trademarked.

    Red Bull Accord??? will it give me wings??

    of course that made me think of egg nog…..because when Red Bull first came out–my hubby wanted me to get him some at the grocery….and I did…..and he HATED it! It didn’t taste at all like he thought it would…I asked “it’s an energy drink, what were you expecting?” and he says ” for some reason I thought it would taste like egg nog…” I looked at him (you know the look, the one that says : are you insane?) and said “don’t make me reach for the tranq. darts….”

    I think I’m probably going to be the only one here that actually likes that they included a “red bull accord” in one of their fragrances!
    Not because I particularly like the smell of red bull but I was just happy to read the notes of a new masculine fragrance and not yawn. My thinking is, you’re a designer, this is 2011, good on you for going out on a limb and being more ‘of the times.’

        Hey Daisy! Thanks for the heads up! Because, you know, it’s not like I stalk my local post office person or anything…Ok, so, now, where did I put that restraining order Australia Post sent me…
        PS Us husbands say the darndest things! Lol @ egg nog. I’ve said my fair share believe me!

      It is not a bad idea, and I have no idea what Red Bull smells like.

        Robin, kind of like an intense fruity fizziness that just slightly borders on sickening.
        Hey, with that sales pitch, CK should really employ me on their marketing team!

        If it smells anything like Rock Star (really – that’s the brand name!), my bf’s usual energy drink, it smells disgusting. And with big sillage, too. I have to roll down the window if he pops one in the car.

    When I saw the bottles on the main page, the colors reminded me of those Warhead sour candies, and I though maybe they had added a splash of sour apple candy to CK One. How wild would that smell?

    the man’s one doesn’t sound very apealing to me.
    though what I know of perfume notes(very little) I like everything in the woman’s.

    but I don’t know why anyone would want to smell shocking? maybe halloween.

      many young guys are raving over energy drinks.
      and the man’s one looks just like a can of monster.

    Shock for Him has one of the most random lists of notes I’ve ever seen.

    The women’s sounds decent to me. Like others, with those bottle caps and the lettering and the opaque bottles, these do look like a new vitamin-infused fitness water that just hit the market. As for “red bull accord,” wouldn’t it be infinitely more interesting if the scent smelled like an ACTUAL red bull?

    Red Bull accord? While it’s only one of the notes, it’s not something that gives me hope as I’ve never cared for the scent of that particular beverage. I’m tempted to take a whiff of it though. CKOne was always one of those fragrances that every “cool” kid in Junior High marinated in before during and after class so I never wore it myself, yet it still appeals to my inner 14 year old. Now that there are distince fragrances for both men and women, I might have to give it a try.

    I rediscovered the original CKone yesterday. It starts out boring and generic, but there’s something in the drydown that I really like, ten minutes before it disappears entirely.
