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 Noir by Night

  • Facets Man Wood Essence does not have: caviar, coriander, woody notes.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (caviar, cashmere wood): the less conventional of the two.
  • The investment is heavier: €240.00 minimum.
  • Less at ease in the “night” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Man Wood Essence

  • The cheaper of the two: from €75.00, against €240.00.
  • It brings what the other lacks — bergamot, cypress, vetiver.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Man Wood Essence — €165.00 difference in its favour

  • Most enveloping

    Man Wood Essence — signature carried by amber

  • Most original

    Noir by Night — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (caviar, cashmere wood)
