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

  • Facets Soleil Blanc does not have: lemon, ginger, salt.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus and marine in the lead.
  • 19 years of existence (2007): it has proved itself for longer.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: salt, coconut).
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Soleil Blanc

  • It brings what the other lacks — bergamot, amber, cardamom.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand and amber.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • More recent creation (2016, against 2007).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
