Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - CK One EDT
The iconic unisex citrus-green scent - crystalline, breezy, and soapy. Effortlessly wearable, but fleeting and quiet. The ultimate casual clean fragrance and a 90s legend.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 1872 For Women EDP
This 'feminine' scent is seriously unisex, a citrus-woody powerhouse that many claim smells exactly like- CK One, but for a ridiculously higher price. Some find it a masterpiece of blending; others, a massive rip-off. It's refined and clean, if you can get past the price versus performance.

Season and Occasion Fit

CK One

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

CK One is built around bright citrus, green, and light floral notes, making it perfect for warm weather. The lack of warmth and depth means it struggles in cold temperatures.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its soft projection and clean, inoffensive freshness make it ideal for office, casual wear, or sporty settings, but it lacks the gravitas for formal occasions or romantic depth for dates.

1872 For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, fresh, and often subtle sillage makes it ideal for office wear, with many reviews noting its inoffensive nature. While pleasant for dates or formal events, its 'non-perfumey' quality and clean character might lack the bolder impression desired for those occasions. Some reviewers also found it appropriate for the gym suggesting a wider casual appeal.
