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 Black Calamus

  • Its pyramid opens on labdanum, sweet flag, oud, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (sweet flag, labdanum): the less conventional of the two.
  • Expect €180.00 at the very least, more than its rival.

Why choose Opulence of Dubai

  • Budget in its favour — €111.00 against €180.00.
  • rose, bergamot, cedar: all materials absent from Black Calamus.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Opulence of Dubai — €69.00 difference in its favour

  • Most original

    Black Calamus — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (sweet flag, labdanum)
