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 Sauvage

  • sichuan pepper, bergamot, lavender: all materials absent from Carios.
  • aromatic and fresh spicy pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (sichuan pepper, star anise): the less conventional of the two.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Carios

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on vetiver, nowhere to be found opposite.
