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 Dior Homme Cologne

  • It brings what the other lacks — grapefruit, neroli.
  • citrus pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Released in 2022, when the other dates from 2014.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose À la Rose

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets Dior Homme Cologne does not have: magnolia, violet.
  • Launched in 2014, it has 12 years of life behind it.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — magnolia, violet are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    À la Rose — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Dior Homme Cologne — signature carried by citrus

  • Most original

    À la Rose — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (magnolia, violet)
