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 005 Riviera Absolue

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • tomato leaf: all materials absent from Déclaration.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — tomato leaf, tea are among the least common notes in our database.

Why choose Déclaration

  • Its pyramid opens on bergamot, cedar, pepper, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    005 Riviera Absolue — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    005 Riviera Absolue — signature carried by aromatic

  • Most original

    005 Riviera Absolue — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (tomato leaf, tea)
