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.
  • Facets Mugler Cologne does not have: lemon, coconut, ylang-ylang.
  • gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (salt, coconut): the less conventional of the two.

Why choose Mugler Cologne

  • It brings what the other lacks — bergamot, orange blossom, neroli.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • 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

  • Most enveloping

    Virgin Island Water — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most original

    Virgin Island Water — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (salt, coconut)

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