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 Prelude to Love
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets When the Rain Stops does not have: bergamot, orange blossom, freesia.
- Markedly fresher, carried by citrus.
- More track record: launched in 2011, it has been worn for 15 years.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
Why choose When the Rain Stops
- It brings what the other lacks — lily of the valley, green notes.
- Released in 2020, when the other dates from 2011.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: green notes, lily of the valley).
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Prelude to Love — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette
-
Freshest
Prelude to Love — signature carried by citrus
-
Most original
When the Rain Stops — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (green notes, lily of the valley)
Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
