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 Un Jardin sur le Nil

  • Its pyramid opens on grapefruit, lotus, incense, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • green and citrus pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (lotus, orange): the less conventional of the two.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Aqua Universalis Forte

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • bergamot, white musk, lily of the valley: all materials absent from Un Jardin sur le Nil.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Aqua Universalis Forte — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Un Jardin sur le Nil — signature carried by green and citrus

  • Most original

    Un Jardin sur le Nil — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (lotus, orange)
