Which Should You Buy?
Stash SJP is a divisive, bold, and surprisingly niche-quality celebrity scent that captures an 'alternative' woody magic. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, often described as 'sex in a pine forest' or 'hamster cage' - no middle ground here.
CK Free is the ultimate cheap-and-cheerful skin scent. It might not last, but it's a fresh, inoffensive pick for casual wear, especially if you're keeping it close. Don't expect fireworks - just easy, understated everyday appeal.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold, long-lasting woody and spicy profile, with strong sillage mentioned by many, is generally too intense for office wear. However, its 'sexy' and 'confident' leanings, along with 'night out' suggestions, make it perfect for dates or cooler-weather casual outings, and it can even elevate a formal event for those wanting something unconventional.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its poor longevity and weak sillage make it ideal for situations where you don't want to overpower. It's a fantastic gym scent, an easy office choice due to its inoffensiveness, and perfect for casual wear where close-up freshness is all you need.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Aromatic, Fresh Spicy accords and Patchouli, Cedar notes
