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

  • white musk, jasmine, rosemary: all materials absent from Explorer Ultra Blue.
  • Launched in 1996, it has 30 years of life behind it.
  • Expect €54.90 at the very least, more than its rival.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Explorer Ultra Blue

  • It costs less: from €50.00, while the other starts at €54.90.
  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on clary sage, amber, lavender, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It is 26 years younger (2022 against 1996).

The verdict

  • Best price

    Explorer Ultra Blue — €4.90 difference in its favour
