Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - CK One Gold EDT
CK One Gold is an easygoing, sparkling twist on the classic, blending juicy fig and zesty citrus with a mellow woody base. Simply put: sunshine in a bottle for the young at heart.

Our Verdict - BLK EDP
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Gucci's Guilty Black Pour Homme (2013) - the Aurelien Guichard violet leaf-lavender-patchouli masculine flanker to Guilty, here translated into a coriander-lavender opening over violet leaf and a patchouli-cedar close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime and evening masculine wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Season and Occasion Fit

CK One Gold

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The juicy fig, citrus, and herbal top with fresh woody base make this best for spring and summer, where its lightness and energy shine. Its moderate warmth and woodiness also allow for some fall versatility, but it lacks the depth for cold winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

CK One Gold's fresh, unobtrusive profile and moderate projection suit casual, office, and sporty contexts. Its playful fruity and floral elements make it lively for day-to-day wear, but it is not quite rich or elegant enough for formal occasions.

BLK

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Aromatic-violet-patchouli structure works spring through autumn with autumn strongest; winter softer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Formal

Modern aromatic-patchouli masculine fits office, date, casual, formal. Less suited to sport.
