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 Tubéreuse Impériale

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • pepper, tuberose, ylang-ylang: all materials absent from Molecule 05.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber and gourmand in support.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.

Why choose Molecule 05

  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: cashmere wood).
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Tubéreuse Impériale — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Tubéreuse Impériale — signature carried by amber and gourmand

  • Most original

    Molecule 05 — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cashmere wood)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
