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 Back to Black

  • It brings what the other lacks — tobacco, honey, saffron.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Red Island

  • Facets Back to Black does not have: longoza, coffee, carrot seed.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — longoza, carrot seed are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.

The verdict

  • Most original

    Red Island — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (longoza, carrot seed)
