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

  • Its pyramid opens on bergamot, cedar, opopanax, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Released in 2020, when the other dates from 1977.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Opium

  • mandarin, incense, pepper: all materials absent from Slow Dance.
  • More track record: launched in 1977, it has been worn for 49 years.

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.
