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 Vetiver Extraordinaire

  • pepper, bergamot, cedar: all materials absent from Costa Azzurra.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by warm spicy.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
  • More track record: launched in 2002, it has been worn for 24 years.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Costa Azzurra

  • Its pyramid opens on juniper, cypress, oud, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by green and marine.
  • More recent creation (2014, against 2002).
