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 Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme

  • The cheaper of the two: from €50.02, against €215.00.
  • Its pyramid opens on mandarin, clary sage, vetiver, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • Launched in 1994, it has 32 years of life behind it.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Percival

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • amber, cypress, mint: all materials absent from Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme.
  • Freshness dominates, with aromatic and citrus in the lead.
  • Released in 2018, when the other dates from 1994.
  • The investment is heavier: €215.00 minimum.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
