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
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on amber, benzoin, tuberose, nowhere to be found opposite.
- leather and amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — tobacco blossom, tobacco are among the least common notes in our database.
- Expect €78.02 at the very least, more than its rival.
- “office” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose Spicebomb
- Budget in its favour — €47.96 against €78.02.
- bergamot, vetiver, saffron: all materials absent from Man in Black.
- Markedly fresher, carried by fresh spicy.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
