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 Bad Boy Cobalt

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • It brings what the other lacks — clary sage, juniper, geranium.
  • It is 14 years younger (2022 against 2008).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Play

  • Facets Bad Boy Cobalt does not have: mint, grapefruit, coffee.
  • 18 years of existence (2008): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated
