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
- The entry price is lower: €39.01 against €84.57.
- cinnamon, bergamot, vetiver: all materials absent from Eros Parfum.
- More track record: launched in 1998, it has been worn for 28 years.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose Eros Parfum
- Extrait de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on mint, tonka bean, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic and citrus.
- It is 22 years younger (2020 against 1998).
- Expect €84.57 at the very least, more than its rival.
