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

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — tomato leaf.
  • aromatic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (tomato leaf, tea): the less conventional of the two.

Why choose Matcha Meditation

  • Facets 005 Riviera Absolue does not have: bergamot, cedar, jasmine.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • 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)
