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 403 Myrrh Shadow

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on basil, grapefruit, cypress, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and warm spicy.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €175.00).

Why choose Ithaque

  • Budget in its favour — €130.00 against €175.00.
  • currant, bergamot, jasmine: all materials absent from 403 Myrrh Shadow.
  • Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict
