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 Acqua di Giò Parfum

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on clary sage, mandarin, woody notes, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with marine and aromatic in the lead.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

Why choose Acqua di Giò Absolu

  • cypress, tonka bean: all materials absent from Acqua di Giò Parfum.
  • gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Acqua di Giò Parfum — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Freshest

    Acqua di Giò Parfum — signature carried by marine and aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    Acqua di Giò Absolu — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Acqua di Giò Absolu — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 5 for the other

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