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 Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca

  • Its pyramid opens on verbena, mint, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • 27 years of existence (1999): it has proved itself for longer.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: verbena, tea).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Aqua Vitae

  • tonka bean, cedar, mandarin: all materials absent from Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand in support.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • More recent creation (2015, against 1999).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Aqua Vitae — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Aqua Vitae — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 5

  • Most original

    Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (verbena, tea)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
