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 Journey Man

  • bergamot, immortelle, woody notes: all materials absent from 1 Million Elixir.
  • More track record: launched in 2014, it has been worn for 12 years.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose 1 Million Elixir

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on grapefruit, blackcurrant, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It is 9 years younger (2023 against 2014).

The verdict

  • Most concentrated
