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 Eternity
- It brings what the other lacks — freesia, mandarin, lily of the valley.
- It is 67 years younger (1988 against 1921).
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: sage, carnation).
- “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose N°5
- Facets Eternity does not have: vanilla, aldehydes, ylang-ylang.
- Markedly fresher, carried by aldehydic.
- Launched in 1921, it has 105 years of life behind it.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.
The verdict
-
Freshest
