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 Cactus Garden

  • It brings what the other lacks — orange blossom, lemon.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus in the lead.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Cologne), it should last less long.

Why choose City of Stars

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Cactus Garden does not have: cedar, jasmine.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    City of Stars — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de cologne

  • Freshest

    Cactus Garden — signature carried by citrus
