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 9 AM
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets Boss Number One does not have: lemon, rose, vanilla.
- Freshness dominates, with aromatic in the lead.
- It is 36 years younger (2021 against 1985).
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less at ease in the “night” context according to our calculated profile.
Why choose Boss Number One
- It brings what the other lacks — jasmine, bergamot, geranium.
- Launched in 1985, it has 41 years of life behind it.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
9 AM — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette
-
Freshest
9 AM — signature carried by aromatic
