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 Charon's Vail

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de parfum: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • patchouli, saffron, oud: all materials absent from Absolue pour le Soir.

Why choose Absolue pour le Soir

  • Its pyramid opens on cumin, honey, benzoin, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: cumin, honey).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Charon's Vail — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most original

    Absolue pour le Soir — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cumin, honey)

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