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?

  • Its pyramid opens on bergamot, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, 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 €225.00).

Why choose Memory of the Sun

  • Budget in its favour — €210.00 against €225.00.
  • tuberose absolute, peru balsam: all materials absent from Sel d'Argent.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: tuberose absolute, peru balsam).
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
