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 Santos de Cartier

  • Its pyramid opens on oakmoss, sandalwood, lavender, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More track record: launched in 1981, it has been worn for 45 years.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Acqua di Giò Homme Eau de Parfum

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • rosemary, green mandarin, cedar: all materials absent from Santos de Cartier.
  • More recent creation (2022, against 1981).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (green mandarin, sage): the less conventional of the two.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Acqua di Giò Homme Eau de Parfum — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Acqua di Giò Homme Eau de Parfum — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (green mandarin, sage)

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