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 Pour Femme

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets N°5 L'Eau does not have: sandalwood, clove, violet leaf.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand and warm spicy in support.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 6.

Why choose N°5 L'Eau

  • It brings what the other lacks — cedar, aldehydes, mandarin.
  • aldehydic and citrus pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Pour Femme — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Freshest

    N°5 L'Eau — signature carried by aldehydic and citrus

  • Most enveloping

    Pour Femme — signature carried by gourmand and warm spicy

  • Most versatile

    Pour Femme — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

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