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
- It costs less: from €38.83, while the other starts at €69.90.
- It brings what the other lacks — jasmine, bergamot, white musk.
- Released in 1985, when the other dates from 1977.
Why choose Opium
- Facets Obsession does not have: incense, star anise, patchouli.
- More track record: launched in 1977, it has been worn for 49 years.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (star anise, labdanum): the less conventional of the two.
- The more expensive of the two (from €69.90).
