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

  • Its pyramid opens on leather, juniper, patchouli, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Y Le Parfum

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • tonka bean, ginger, cedar: all materials absent from Defy.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • “night” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Y Le Parfum — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
