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 is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • sandalwood, incense, pine: all materials absent from Vetiver.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and vanilla.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Vetiver

  • Its pyramid opens on vetiver, white musk, tobacco, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by green and aromatic.
  • 65 years of existence (1961): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
