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 Curious

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — magnolia, tuberose, dragon fruit.
  • More track record: launched in 2004, it has been worn for 22 years.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Aqva Divina

  • Facets Curious does not have: quince, mimosa, salt.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • Released in 2015, when the other dates from 2004.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Curious — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most versatile

    Aqva Divina — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
