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 Paradis Nuit

  • The entry price is lower: €145.00 against €175.00.
  • cassie flower, neroli, marseille soap: all materials absent from 502 Iris Cartagena.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: cassie flower, marseille soap).
  • Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose 502 Iris Cartagena

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on iris, rum, vanilla, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand in support.
  • Expect €175.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
  • “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Paradis Nuit — €145.00 at the low end, while the other starts at €175.00

  • Most concentrated

    502 Iris Cartagena — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most enveloping

    502 Iris Cartagena — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most original

    Paradis Nuit — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cassie flower, marseille soap)
