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

  • It costs less: from €34.90, while the other starts at €36.64.
  • It brings what the other lacks — mint, geranium, lavender.
  • More track record: launched in 1988, it has been worn for 38 years.

Why choose Versace Pour Homme

  • Facets Cool Water does not have: hyacinth, bergamot, violet leaf.
  • It is 20 years younger (2008 against 1988).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (hyacinth, sage): the less conventional of the two.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €36.64).
