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 Reflection 45
- Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
- iris, pepper: all materials absent from Bal d'Afrique.
- Released in 2021, when the other dates from 2009.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
Why choose Bal d'Afrique
- Its pyramid opens on violet, amber, saffron, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Markedly fresher, carried by green.
- 17 years of existence (2009): it has proved itself for longer.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: cyclamen, violet).
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Reflection 45 — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum
-
Freshest
Bal d'Afrique — signature carried by green
-
Most original
Bal d'Afrique — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cyclamen, violet)
