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
- lemon, lavender, rosemary: all materials absent from Guerlain Homme.
- Launched in 1916, it has 110 years of life behind it.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Guerlain Homme
- Eau de Toilette against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on verbena, mint, geranium, nowhere to be found opposite.
- More recent creation (2008, against 1916).
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — verbena, rum are among the least common notes in our database.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Guerlain Homme — an eau de toilette formula against an eau de cologne
-
Most original
Guerlain Homme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (verbena, rum)
