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 Ombre d'Or
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on saffron, oud, white musk, nowhere to be found opposite.
- amber and vanilla give it a roundness the other lacks.
- It is 31 years younger (2021 against 1990).
- No offer listed for the moment.
- “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose Égoïste
- mandarin, sandalwood, woody notes: all materials absent from Ombre d'Or.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- 36 years of existence (1990): it has proved itself for longer.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
