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 Fico di Amalfi

  • bergamot, fig, benzoin: all materials absent from Elysium.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • More track record: launched in 2007, it has been worn for 19 years.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (fig, grapefruit): the less conventional of the two.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Elysium

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on amber, vetiver, white musk, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Released in 2017, when the other dates from 2007.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Elysium — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most versatile

    Fico di Amalfi — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 6 for the other

  • Most original

    Fico di Amalfi — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (fig, grapefruit)

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