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 Light Blue pour Homme

  • Eau de Toilette against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • grapefruit, rosemary, sichuan pepper: all materials absent from Lime Basil & Mandarin.
  • It is 8 years younger (2007 against 1999).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — sichuan pepper, rosemary are among the least common notes in our database.

Why choose Lime Basil & Mandarin

  • Its pyramid opens on lemon, tea, vetiver, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More track record: launched in 1999, it has been worn for 27 years.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Cologne: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Light Blue pour Homme — an eau de toilette formula against an eau de cologne

  • Most original

    Light Blue pour Homme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (sichuan pepper, rosemary)

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