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
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- It brings what the other lacks — peony, mint, jasmine.
- Released in 2010, when the other dates from 1994.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (marine notes, peony): the less conventional of the two.
- The more expensive of the two (from €44.90).
Why choose L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme
- The entry price is lower: €38.90 against €44.90.
- Facets Acqua di Gioia does not have: tobacco, nutmeg, geranium.
- 32 years of existence (1994): it has proved itself for longer.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
