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 Rolling in Love

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • almond, iris, neroli: all materials absent from L'Eau d'Issey.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 4).
  • Released in 2013, when the other dates from 1992.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose L'Eau d'Issey

  • Its pyramid opens on carnation, lotus, cyclamen, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by marine.
  • 34 years of existence (1992): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — water rose, cyclamen are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
  • “autumn” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
