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
- Its pyramid opens on ginger, lemon, incense, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Freshness dominates, with citrus and aromatic in the lead.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “night” ground.
Why choose Explorer
- vetiver, ambergris, woody notes: all materials absent from Bleu de Chanel.
- leather and amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
The verdict
-
Freshest
Bleu de Chanel — signature carried by citrus and aromatic
-
Most enveloping
Explorer — signature carried by leather and amber
