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 Woman in Gold

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on vanilla, aldehydes, jasmine, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Vanitas

  • frangipani, star anise, cedar: all materials absent from Woman in Gold.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — frangipani, star anise are among the least common notes in our database.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
