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 Pour Homme

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • gin, clary sage, orange: all materials absent from Cool Water.
  • Expect €191.95 at the very least, more than its rival.

Why choose Cool Water

  • It costs less: from €34.90, while the other starts at €191.95.
  • Its pyramid opens on mint, geranium, rosemary, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by marine and aromatic.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
  • “evenings & dates” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

    Cool Water — from €34.90 against €191.95
