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 Happy for Men

  • juniper, lemon, bergamot: all materials absent from Cool Water.
  • It is 11 years younger (1999 against 1988).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Cool Water

  • Its pyramid opens on mint, geranium, neroli, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with marine and aromatic in the lead.
  • More track record: launched in 1988, it has been worn for 38 years.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — rosemary, mint are among the least common notes in our database.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    Cool Water — signature carried by marine and aromatic

  • Most original

    Cool Water — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (rosemary, mint)

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