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

  • Facets Fougère Platine does not have: cedar, rosemary, jasmine.
  • marine and aromatic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Launched in 1988, it has 38 years of life behind it.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Fougère Platine

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — clary sage.
  • It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • More recent creation (2018, against 1988).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Fougère Platine — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Cool Water — signature carried by marine and aromatic

  • Most versatile

    Fougère Platine — at ease in 7 contexts out of 8, against 5

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