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

  • cognac, amber, tonka bean: all materials absent from Herod Absolu.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Herod Absolu

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on pepper, osmanthus, guaiac wood, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “everyday” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated
