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 CK One

  • Facets Ex Vetiver does not have: jasmine, amber, lemon.
  • citrus and aromatic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • More track record: launched in 1994, it has been worn for 32 years.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — pineapple, nutmeg are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Ex Vetiver

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — grapefruit, vetiver.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 6.
  • It is 30 years younger (2024 against 1994).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
