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 Nemean Lion

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • bergamot, osmanthus, raspberry: all materials absent from Oud.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by citrus.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.

Why choose Oud

Few distinguishing arguments — the two profiles are very close.

  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Nemean Lion — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Freshest

    Nemean Lion — signature carried by citrus

  • Most versatile

    Nemean Lion — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6
