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 212 Sexy

  • It brings what the other lacks — cotton flower, vanilla, mandarin.
  • Launched in 2004, it has 22 years of life behind it.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (cotton flower, mandarin): the less conventional of the two.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Gardénia Pétale

  • Facets 212 Sexy does not have: gardenia, tuberose.
  • Released in 2015, when the other dates from 2004.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most original

    212 Sexy — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cotton flower, mandarin)
