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, lemon, rosemary: all materials absent from Legend.
- Launched in 1916, it has 110 years of life behind it.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Legend
- Richer concentration (Eau de Toilette against Eau de Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on geranium, tonka bean, pineapple, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- It is 95 years younger (2011 against 1916).
