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

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de parfum: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on rosemary, mandarin, incense, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (rosemary, marine notes): the less conventional of the two.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €109.90).

Why choose Explorer Ultra Blue

  • Budget in its favour — €50.00 against €109.90.
  • amber, lavender: all materials absent from Acqua di Giò Parfum.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Explorer Ultra Blue — from €50.00 against €109.90

  • Most concentrated

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

  • Most original

    Acqua di Giò Parfum — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (rosemary, marine notes)
