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 L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme

  • It brings what the other lacks — tobacco, nutmeg, geranium.
  • marine and aromatic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • 32 years of existence (1994): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Hawas

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme does not have: apple, orange blossom, ambergris.
  • Released in 2015, when the other dates from 1994.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Hawas — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme — signature carried by marine and aromatic
