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 Bibliothèque

  • patchouli, peony, peach: all materials absent from La Belle.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: lily, plum).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose La Belle

  • Its pyramid opens on orange blossom, pear, bergamot, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand and vanilla.
  • Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    La Belle — signature carried by gourmand and vanilla

  • Most original

    Bibliothèque — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (lily, plum)

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