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

  • Its pyramid opens on sandalwood, bergamot, rose, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • More recent creation (2023, against 2010).

Why choose Milly-la-Forêt

  • lily of the valley, galbanum, hyacinth: all materials absent from Wood Jasmin.
  • 16 years of existence (2010): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (hyacinth, galbanum): the less conventional of the two.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Wood Jasmin — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Wood Jasmin — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

  • Most original

    Milly-la-Forêt — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (hyacinth, galbanum)

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