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 Acqua di Giò
- Budget in its favour — €54.90 against €115.00.
- Facets Costarela does not have: white musk, jasmine, rosemary.
- citrus and marine pull it towards the bright and the lively.
- Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
Why choose Costarela
- It brings what the other lacks — saffron, ambroxan, mineral notes.
- Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber.
- More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 5).
- Notes that are uncommon with us (mineral notes, marine notes): the less conventional of the two.
- Expect €115.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
