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 Aoud Lemon Mint.
  • 110 years of existence (1916): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — rosemary, oakmoss are among the least common notes in our database.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Cologne), it should last less long.

Why choose Aoud Lemon Mint

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on amber, oud, mint, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It is 100 years younger (2016 against 1916).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Aoud Lemon Mint — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de cologne

  • Most original

    Colonia — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (rosemary, oakmoss)
