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
- It brings what the other lacks — lavender, rosemary, sandalwood.
- 110 years of existence (1916): it has proved itself for longer.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Cologne), it should last less long.
Why choose Cristalle
- Eau de Toilette against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Facets Colonia does not have: jasmine, honeysuckle, blackcurrant leaf.
- Released in 1974, when the other dates from 1916.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (blackcurrant leaf, honeysuckle): the less conventional of the two.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Cristalle — an eau de toilette formula against an eau de cologne
-
Most original
Cristalle — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (blackcurrant leaf, honeysuckle)
