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, lemon, lavender, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Freshness dominates, with citrus and aromatic in the lead.
- Launched in 1916, it has 110 years of life behind it.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Eau de Cologne: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose Baie 19
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
- blackcurrant, green notes, narcissus: all materials absent from Colonia.
- Released in 2021, when the other dates from 1916.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (narcissus, green notes): the less conventional of the two.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
