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
- Its pyramid opens on benzoin, tuberose, pepper, nowhere to be found opposite.
- 12 years of existence (2014): it has proved itself for longer.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (tobacco blossom, tobacco): the less conventional of the two.
- Expect €78.02 at the very least, more than its rival.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
Why choose 1 Million Elixir
- Budget in its favour — €65.94 against €78.02.
- It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
- grapefruit, cardamom, blackcurrant: all materials absent from Man in Black.
- More recent creation (2023, against 2014).
The verdict
-

1 Million Elixir — €65.94 at the low end, while the other starts at €78.02
-
Most concentrated
1 Million Elixir — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum
-
Most original
Man in Black — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (tobacco blossom, tobacco)
