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

  • vetiver, lavender, rosemary: all materials absent from Eau d'Orange Verte.
  • 110 years of existence (1916): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Eau d'Orange Verte

  • Its pyramid opens on orange, geranium, white musk, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It is 63 years younger (1979 against 1916).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (mint, orange): the less conventional of the two.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most original

    Eau d'Orange Verte — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (mint, orange)
