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 PM Elixir
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on bergamot, tonka bean, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Warmth wins out, with amber and vanilla in support.
- It is 33 years younger (2023 against 1990).
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.
Why choose Égoïste
- mandarin, woody notes: all materials absent from 9 PM Elixir.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- More track record: launched in 1990, it has been worn for 36 years.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — woody notes, cinnamon are among the least common notes in our database.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
