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 Cool Water

  • geranium, neroli, cedar: all materials absent from Cool Water Intense.
  • Freshness dominates, with marine and aromatic in the lead.
  • Launched in 1988, it has 38 years of life behind it.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

Why choose Cool Water Intense

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on grapefruit, vetiver, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • It is 32 years younger (2020 against 1988).
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Cool Water Intense — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Cool Water — signature carried by marine and aromatic

  • Most versatile

    Cool Water Intense — at ease in 7 contexts out of 8, against 5

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