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 Odyssey The Legend Returns

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • It brings what the other lacks — guaiac wood, orange blossom, tuberose.

Why choose Aqua Universalis Forte

  • Facets Odyssey The Legend Returns does not have: woody notes, orange, white flowers.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by citrus.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — white flowers, lily of the valley are among the least common notes in our database.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Odyssey The Legend Returns — an extrait de parfum formula against an eau de parfum

  • Freshest

    Aqua Universalis Forte — signature carried by citrus

  • Most original

    Aqua Universalis Forte — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (white flowers, lily of the valley)
