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 Omnia Crystalline

  • lotus, bamboo, tea: all materials absent from N°5.
  • It is 84 years younger (2005 against 1921).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — bamboo, lotus are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose N°5

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on rose, vanilla, aldehydes, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • 105 years of existence (1921): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    N°5 — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Most original

    Omnia Crystalline — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (bamboo, lotus)
