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 Illusion d'un Soir

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets Acqua Essenziale does not have: amber, lavender, cinnamon.
  • amber and warm spicy give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • It is 10 years younger (2023 against 2013).
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Acqua Essenziale

  • It brings what the other lacks — cypress, cedar.
  • Launched in 2013, it has 13 years of life behind it.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Illusion d'un Soir — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Illusion d'un Soir — signature carried by amber and warm spicy
