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

  • jasmine, amber, lemon: all materials absent from Gaïac 10.
  • citrus and aromatic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Launched in 1994, it has 32 years of life behind it.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (pineapple, nutmeg): the less conventional of the two.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Gaïac 10

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on guaiac wood, incense, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 6.
  • Released in 2006, when the other dates from 1994.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Gaïac 10 — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    CK One — signature carried by citrus and aromatic

  • Most versatile

    Gaïac 10 — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

  • Most original

    CK One — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (pineapple, nutmeg)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
