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 Wood Jasmin

  • It brings what the other lacks — bergamot, rose, cedar.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • Released in 2023, when the other dates from 2012.

Why choose Grand Bal

  • Facets Wood Jasmin does not have: aldehydes, absinthe, tuberose.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic.
  • 14 years of existence (2012): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — absinthe, aldehydes are among the least common notes in our database.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
