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 Lime Basil & Mandarin

  • It brings what the other lacks — lemon, tea, vetiver.
  • citrus and green pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • More track record: launched in 1999, it has been worn for 27 years.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Cologne: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Hacivat

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets Lime Basil & Mandarin does not have: iris, pineapple, cedar.
  • Released in 2017, when the other dates from 1999.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (pineapple, oakmoss): the less conventional of the two.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Hacivat — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de cologne

  • Freshest

    Lime Basil & Mandarin — signature carried by citrus and green

  • Most original

    Hacivat — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (pineapple, oakmoss)

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