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

  • The entry price is lower: €44.90 against €335.00.
  • lemon, cedar, peony: all materials absent from Montabaco Intensivo.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus and marine in the lead.
  • “evenings & dates” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Montabaco Intensivo

  • Its pyramid opens on magnolia, ozonic notes, hedione, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (hedione, ozonic notes): the less conventional of the two.
  • The investment is heavier: €335.00 minimum.
