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 Man in Black

  • amber, cinnamon, benzoin: all materials absent from Gentleman Eau de Parfum.
  • Warmth wins out, with leather and amber in support.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (tobacco blossom, tobacco): the less conventional of the two.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.

Why choose Gentleman Eau de Parfum

  • Its pyramid opens on iris, pear, cardamom, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 4.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

    Man in Black — signature carried by leather and amber

  • Most versatile

    Gentleman Eau de Parfum — 7 situations out of 8 suit it, against 4 for the other

  • Most original

    Man in Black — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (tobacco blossom, tobacco)
