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 Vitae

  • Its pyramid opens on bergamot, tonka bean, cedar, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Cologne du Maté

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: tea, mandarin).
  • “night” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Cologne du Maté — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Aqua Vitae — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most original

    Cologne du Maté — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (tea, mandarin)

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