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 Virgin Island Water

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on lemon, coconut, ylang-ylang, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • citrus and marine pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • 19 years of existence (2007): it has proved itself for longer.

Why choose Florabellio

  • osmanthus, apple blossom, coffee: all materials absent from Virgin Island Water.
  • It is 8 years younger (2015 against 2007).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (sesame, apple blossom): the less conventional of the two.
  • 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

    Virgin Island Water — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Virgin Island Water — signature carried by citrus and marine

  • Most original

    Florabellio — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (sesame, apple blossom)

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