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.
- rose, labdanum, sandalwood: all materials absent from Oud.
Why choose Oud
- Its pyramid opens on elemi, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — elemi, saffron are among the least common notes in our database.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- 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
Oud — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (elemi, saffron)
