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 Kenzo Homme Intense

  • It costs less: from €35.95, while the other starts at €210.00.
  • It brings what the other lacks — cardamom, vetiver, cedar.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and warm spicy.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Tonic Water

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: marine notes, ambroxan).
  • The more expensive of the two (from €210.00).
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
