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

  • The entry price is lower: €21.20 against €195.00.
  • bergamot, nutmeg, mandarin: all materials absent from Erba Gold.
  • 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 Erba Gold

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on vanilla, orange, fruity notes, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by vanilla.
  • More recent creation (2021, against 1994).
  • Expect €195.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
