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 Defy
- bergamot, juniper, incense: all materials absent from The Scent Elixir.
- aromatic and citrus pull it towards the bright and the lively.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose The Scent Elixir
- It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Its pyramid opens on ginger, plum, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Markedly more enveloping, carried by leather and warm spicy.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — plum, clary sage are among the least common notes in our database.
