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.
- Its pyramid opens on sandalwood, clove, violet leaf, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Markedly fresher, carried by citrus.
- More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
- The more expensive of the two (from €191.95).
Why choose Classique
- Budget in its favour — €42.22 against €191.95.
- orchid: all materials absent from Pour Femme.
- Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand and amber.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
- Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.
