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

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • cedar, freesia, coriander: all materials absent from Mugler Cologne.
  • It is 10 years younger (2011 against 2001).
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: freesia, coriander).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Mugler Cologne

  • Markedly fresher, carried by citrus and aromatic.
  • 25 years of existence (2001): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Prelude to Love — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Mugler Cologne — signature carried by citrus and aromatic

  • Most original

    Prelude to Love — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (freesia, coriander)

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