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
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- white musk, nutmeg, apple: all materials absent from Égoïste.
- Warmth wins out, with amber and warm spicy in support.
- Released in 2016, when the other dates from 1990.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose Égoïste
- Its pyramid opens on mandarin, rose, nowhere to be found opposite.
- It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
- More track record: launched in 1990, it has been worn for 36 years.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
