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 Aqua Media Cologne Forte

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • basil, cardamom, mint: all materials absent from Y Eau de Toilette.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Y Eau de Toilette

  • Its pyramid opens on geranium, clary sage, ginger, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Aqua Media Cologne Forte — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
