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

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • lavender, iris, ambergris: all materials absent from Desire.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (ambergris, ylang-ylang): the less conventional of the two.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Desire

  • Its pyramid opens on lychee, jasmine, cardamom, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus in the lead.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Gold Man — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Freshest

    Desire — signature carried by citrus

  • Most original

    Gold Man — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (ambergris, ylang-ylang)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
