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 Boss Bottled
- Facets Encre Noire does not have: cinnamon, sandalwood, apple.
- warm spicy and vanilla give it a roundness the other lacks.
- Launched in 1998, it has 28 years of life behind it.
Why choose Encre Noire
- It brings what the other lacks — white musk, pine, woody notes.
- More recent creation (2006, against 1998).
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: pine, guaiac wood).
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
The verdict
-
Most enveloping
Boss Bottled — signature carried by warm spicy and vanilla
-
Most original
Encre Noire — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (pine, guaiac wood)
