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

  • Its pyramid opens on jasmine, amber, nutmeg, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • 32 years of existence (1994): it has proved itself for longer.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Aqua Vitae

  • tonka bean, tea: all materials absent from CK One.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • More recent creation (2015, against 1994).
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Aqua Vitae — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most versatile
