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

  • Facets Greenley does not have: lemon, lavender, rosemary.
  • citrus and aromatic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • 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 Greenley

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — orange blossom, apple, geranium.
  • More recent creation (2020, against 1916).

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Greenley — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de cologne

  • Freshest

    Colonia — signature carried by citrus and aromatic
