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 Clémentine California

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — mandarin, jasmine, vetiver.
  • citrus and green pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (orange, oakmoss): the less conventional of the two.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Dior Homme Cologne

  • Facets Clémentine California does not have: bergamot, rose, white musk.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Clémentine California — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Clémentine California — signature carried by citrus and green

  • Most original

    Clémentine California — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (orange, oakmoss)
