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 L'Aventure
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets Obsession for Men does not have: woody notes, apple, cinnamon.
- amber and warm spicy give it a roundness the other lacks.
- It is 30 years younger (2016 against 1986).
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.
Why choose Obsession for Men
- It brings what the other lacks — mandarin, bergamot, clove.
- Freshness dominates, with citrus in the lead.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- More track record: launched in 1986, it has been worn for 40 years.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
