Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Excite EDP
This one's a proper crowd-pleaser, delivering a fresh, clean aquatic vibe that punches well above its weight. It's a shame it's not more widely available, because it’s a seriously solid offering that consistently gets compliments and performs admirably for the price.

Our Verdict - CK One Summer 2012 EDT
A refreshing, vibrant summer juice that's a fleeting pleasure. Expect a glorious burst of citrus and cucumber, perfect for scorching days, but don't count on it sticking around. A crowd-pleaser that struggles with longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit

Excite

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, aquatic nature and good longevity make it highly versatile for casual wear and daily use. While suitable for dates, its clean profile might feel too informal for strict formal events. It performs well during physical activity due to its refreshing qualities.

CK One Summer 2012

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean aquatic and citrus profile makes it ideal for casual wear and sport, offering a cooling effect in heat. However, its weak performance and subtle sillage mean it's unlikely to make an impact on a date or formal event, though it won't offend in an office setting.
