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
- Its pyramid opens on vetiver, lavender, rosemary, nowhere to be found opposite.
- More track record: launched in 1916, it has been worn for 110 years.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic
- Richer concentration (Eau de Toilette against Eau de Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
- white musk, mandarin, basil: all materials absent from Colonia.
- Released in 2007, when the other dates from 1916.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — blond woods, basil are among the least common notes in our database.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
