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 Blanche
- Facets N°5 does not have: peony, pepper, violet.
- It is 88 years younger (2009 against 1921).
- No tracked point of sale to date.
Why choose N°5
- It brings what the other lacks — vanilla, ylang-ylang, jasmine.
- 105 years of existence (1921): it has proved itself for longer.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
The verdict
These two perfumes are too close to separate any trophies: same family, same register. The choice comes down to the details above — and to your skin.
