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 Gioia

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on lemon, cedar, peony, nowhere to be found opposite.

Why choose Le Jardin de Monsieur Li

  • tea, kumquat: all materials absent from Acqua di Gioia.
  • aromatic and marine pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — kumquat, marine notes are among the least common notes in our database.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Acqua di Gioia — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Le Jardin de Monsieur Li — signature carried by aromatic and marine

  • Most original

    Le Jardin de Monsieur Li — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (kumquat, marine notes)
