How is it calculated?
These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.
Why choose one… or the other?
Why choose Colonia
- Its pyramid opens on vetiver, lavender, rosemary, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Freshness dominates, with citrus and aromatic in the lead.
- More track record: launched in 1916, it has been worn for 110 years.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose CK One
- Eau de Toilette against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- jasmine, white musk, amber: all materials absent from Colonia.
- It is 78 years younger (1994 against 1916).
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
CK One — an eau de toilette formula against an eau de cologne
-
