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 Gold Knight

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • vanilla, tobacco, cognac: all materials absent from Bad Boy.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand and amber.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (cognac, tobacco): the less conventional of the two.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.

Why choose Bad Boy

  • Its pyramid opens on pepper, cocoa, clary sage, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with aromatic in the lead.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Gold Knight — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Bad Boy — signature carried by aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    Gold Knight — signature carried by gourmand and amber

  • Most versatile

    Bad Boy — 7 situations out of 8 suit it, against 5 for the other

  • Most original

    Gold Knight — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cognac, tobacco)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
