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
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets Le Mâle does not have: rose, amber.
- amber and vanilla give it a roundness the other lacks.
- More recent creation (2023, against 1995).
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose Le Mâle
- It brings what the other lacks — lavender, mint, cumin.
- Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- Launched in 1995, it has 31 years of life behind it.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
