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 Burberry Her
- The cheaper of the two: from €41.06, against €59.90.
- Its pyramid opens on violet, white musk, strawberry, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose Akira Melba
- Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
- peach, osmanthus, vanilla: all materials absent from Burberry Her.
- gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — osmanthus, caramel are among the least common notes in our database.
- The more expensive of the two (from €59.90).
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “office” ground.
