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 Obsession
- The cheaper of the two: from €38.83, against €525.00.
- Its pyramid opens on mandarin, amber, cinnamon, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Warmth wins out, with amber and warm spicy in support.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.
Why choose Bergdorf
- It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
- rose, patchouli, gardenia: all materials absent from Obsession.
- More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
- Notes that are uncommon with us (styrax, heliotrope): the less conventional of the two.
- The investment is heavier: €525.00 minimum.
