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 Slow Dance

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • It brings what the other lacks — cedar, opopanax, benzoin.
  • amber and vanilla give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • More recent creation (2020, against 1995).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Le Mâle

  • Facets Slow Dance does not have: lavender, mint, tonka bean.
  • aromatic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • Launched in 1995, it has 31 years of life behind it.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Slow Dance — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Le Mâle — signature carried by aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    Slow Dance — signature carried by amber and vanilla

  • Most versatile

    Le Mâle — it holds 7 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 5
