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 Bleu de Chanel
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on ginger, incense, mint, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Warmth wins out, with amber in support.
- It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
Why choose L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme
- tobacco, geranium, white musk: all materials absent from Bleu de Chanel.
- Markedly fresher, carried by marine and aromatic.
- 32 years of existence (1994): it has proved itself for longer.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
- “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
