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 Gold Man

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • lavender, rose, iris: all materials absent from 212 Men.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose 212 Men

  • Its pyramid opens on gin, gardenia, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus in the lead.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: gin, gardenia).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Gold Man — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    212 Men — signature carried by citrus

  • Most original

    212 Men — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (gin, gardenia)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
