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 Birth of Venus
- Its pyramid opens on amber, narcissus, vetiver, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Expect €258.95 at the very least, more than its rival.
Why choose Sel d'Argent
- Budget in its favour — €225.00 against €258.95.
- ambroxan, ylang-ylang, galbanum: all materials absent from Birth of Venus.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: salt, galbanum).
