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

  • Eau de Toilette against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — jasmine, bergamot, oakmoss.
  • More track record: launched in 1966, it has been worn for 60 years.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Grapefruit

  • Facets Eau Sauvage does not have: grapefruit, orange blossom.
  • It is 34 years younger (2000 against 1966).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — rosemary, grapefruit are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Eau Sauvage — Eau de Toilette against Eau de Cologne

  • Most original

    Grapefruit — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (rosemary, grapefruit)
