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 Gypsy Water

  • It brings what the other lacks — sandalwood, bergamot, pepper.
  • Freshness dominates, with aromatic and green in the lead.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
  • Launched in 2008, it has 18 years of life behind it.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Attaquer le Soleil

  • Facets Gypsy Water does not have: labdanum, styrax.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber.
  • Released in 2016, when the other dates from 2008.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (styrax, labdanum): the less conventional of the two.
  • Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.
