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
- Budget in its favour — €21.20 against €40.03.
- Facets Legend Red does not have: jasmine, white musk, amber.
- Freshness dominates, with citrus and aromatic in the lead.
- More track record: launched in 1994, it has been worn for 32 years.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose Legend Red
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- It brings what the other lacks — cardamom, vetiver, absinthe.
- It is 29 years younger (2023 against 1994).
- Notes that are uncommon with us (absinthe, pineapple): the less conventional of the two.
- The more expensive of the two (from €40.03).
