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 Habit Rouge

  • It brings what the other lacks — bergamot, rose, vanilla.
  • 61 years of existence (1965): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Polo Red Intense

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Habit Rouge does not have: cardamom, grapefruit, amber.
  • It is 50 years younger (2015 against 1965).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — coffee, orange are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Polo Red Intense — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Polo Red Intense — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (coffee, orange)
