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
- Facets Riviera Drive does not have: vetiver, lavender, sandalwood.
- Markedly fresher, carried by citrus and aromatic.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Riviera Drive
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de cologne — so theoretically more tenacious.
- It brings what the other lacks — cedar leaf, cashmere wood, marjoram.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (marjoram, cedar leaf): the less conventional of the two.
