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 Wood Essence
- Budget in its favour — €75.00 against €220.00.
- Facets Bois du Portugal does not have: incense, cypress, benzoin.
- It is 31 years younger (2018 against 1987).
- Notes that are uncommon with us (cypress, guaiac wood): the less conventional of the two.
Why choose Bois du Portugal
- It brings what the other lacks — ambergris, lavender, cedar.
- 39 years of existence (1987): it has proved itself for longer.
- Expect €220.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
