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 Colonia Pura

  • Its pyramid opens on neroli, cedar, jasmine, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Released in 2017, when the other dates from 2009.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Aqua Universalis Forte

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
  • lily of the valley, woody notes, lemon: all materials absent from Colonia Pura.
  • Launched in 2009, it has 17 years of life behind it.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (white flowers, lily of the valley): the less conventional of the two.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “evenings & dates” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Aqua Universalis Forte — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Cologne

  • Most original

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