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, lavender, rosemary.
  • 110 years of existence (1916): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Under the Lemon Trees

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Toilette against Eau de Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets Colonia does not have: moss, fig leaf, petitgrain.
  • It is 105 years younger (2021 against 1916).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (fig leaf, blond woods): the less conventional of the two.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Under the Lemon Trees — Eau de Toilette against Eau de Cologne

  • Most original

    Under the Lemon Trees — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (fig leaf, blond woods)
