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 Velvet Haze

  • patchouli, iris, coconut: all materials absent from Italica.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand and amber.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (opopanax, coconut): the less conventional of the two.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Italica

  • Its pyramid opens on bergamot, orange blossom, sandalwood, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Velvet Haze — signature carried by gourmand and amber

  • Most original

    Velvet Haze — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (opopanax, coconut)

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