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 Eau de Rochas

  • The cheaper of the two: from €34.95, against €100.76.
  • Its pyramid opens on lemon, oakmoss, hyacinth, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More track record: launched in 1970, it has been worn for 56 years.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Valentina

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • white truffle, cedar, tuberose: all materials absent from Eau de Rochas.
  • It is 41 years younger (2011 against 1970).
  • The more expensive of the two (from €100.76).

The verdict

  • Best price

    Eau de Rochas — €65.81 difference in its favour

  • Most concentrated

    Valentina — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
