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 amber, leather, benzoin, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Launched in 2014, it has 12 years of life behind it.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (tobacco blossom, tobacco): the less conventional of the two.
- Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose Herod Absolu
- Extrait de Parfum against eau de parfum: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- vanilla, osmanthus, guaiac wood: all materials absent from Man in Black.
- It is 9 years younger (2023 against 2014).
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Herod Absolu — 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)
