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.12.12 Noir

Why choose Polo Green

  • More track record: launched in 1978, it has been worn for 48 years.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — thyme, pine are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict
