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 — vetiver, lemon, lavender.
  • Launched in 1916, it has 110 years of life behind it.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Cologne), it should last less long.

Why choose Silver Mountain Water

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Colonia does not have: white musk, tea, mandarin.
  • More recent creation (1995, against 1916).

The verdict

  • Most concentrated
