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

  • The cheaper of the two: from €180.00, against €250.00.
  • Its pyramid opens on vanilla, sweet flag, oud, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (sweet flag, labdanum): the less conventional of the two.

Why choose Golden Green

  • ambergris, cardamom, coffee: all materials absent from Black Calamus.
  • Expect €250.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
  • Less at ease in the “office” context according to our calculated profile.
