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 Cedro di Taormina

  • orange blossom, vetiver, petitgrain: all materials absent from Aqua Universalis Forte.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Aqua Universalis Forte

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on lily of the valley, woody notes, orange, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — white flowers, lily of the valley are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Aqua Universalis Forte — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Most original

    Aqua Universalis Forte — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (white flowers, lily of the valley)
