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 Universalis

  • citrus pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

Why choose Scandal Pour Femme

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on freesia, iris, rose, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (gardenia, freesia): the less conventional of the two.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Scandal Pour Femme — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Freshest

    Aqua Universalis — signature carried by citrus

  • Most original

    Scandal Pour Femme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (gardenia, freesia)

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