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 Eau Sauvage

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Toilette against Eau de Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — oakmoss, rosemary.
  • More track record: launched in 1966, it has been worn for 60 years.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Lime Basil & Mandarin

  • Facets Eau Sauvage does not have: tea, patchouli, mandarin.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by citrus and green.
  • It is 33 years younger (1999 against 1966).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Cologne), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Eau Sauvage — Eau de Toilette, so more material than an eau de cologne

  • Freshest

    Lime Basil & Mandarin — signature carried by citrus and green
