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 Sport

  • bergamot, elemi, cardamom: all materials absent from Carios.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus and aromatic in the lead.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Carios

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Carios — an extrait de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Dior Homme Sport — signature carried by citrus and aromatic

  • Most versatile

    Carios — at ease in 8 contexts out of 8, against 5

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