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 Gold Man

  • lavender, bergamot, ambergris: all materials absent from N°5.
  • Released in 1998, when the other dates from 1921.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose N°5

  • Its pyramid opens on vanilla, aldehydes, jasmine, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aldehydic.
  • More track record: launched in 1921, it has been worn for 105 years.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.

The verdict

  • Freshest
