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 Rive Gauche pour Homme does not have: mint, neroli, lavender.
- Freshness dominates, with marine and aromatic in the lead.
- 38 years of existence (1988): it has proved itself for longer.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.
Why choose Rive Gauche pour Homme
- It brings what the other lacks — gentian, vetiver, juniper.
- More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
- It is 15 years younger (2003 against 1988).
- Notes that are uncommon with us (gentian, rosemary): the less conventional of the two.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
The verdict
-
Freshest
Cool Water — signature carried by marine and aromatic
-
Most versatile
Rive Gauche pour Homme — it holds 7 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 5
-
Most original
Rive Gauche pour Homme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (gentian, rosemary)
