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

  • Launched in 1983, it has 43 years of life behind it.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — mint, lemon, mimosa.
  • It is 36 years younger (2019 against 1983).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (mimosa, mint): the less conventional of the two.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (mimosa, mint)
