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 L'Ombre dans l'Eau

  • It brings what the other lacks — rose.
  • More track record: launched in 1983, it has been worn for 43 years.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Aqua Celestia

  • Facets L'Ombre dans l'Eau does not have: lemon, mimosa.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by citrus.
  • Released in 2017, when the other dates from 1983.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — mimosa, blackcurrant are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • “evenings & dates” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    Aqua Celestia — signature carried by citrus

  • Most original

    Aqua Celestia — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (mimosa, blackcurrant)
