Blind buy first wear!

This is definitely an amplified version of the original CK1. There's not a whole lot of difference between the two. The citrus is a bit sweeter and the longevity isn't great (it's a citrus freshie after all), but the longevity IS better than the OG. If you have to choose between the original CK1 and CK1 Essence, this is your pick unless there's a huge price difference. But even then, they're both cheap, so that shouldn't be an issue.
