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 Isla Bohemia

  • It costs less: from €115.00, while the other starts at €230.00.
  • It brings what the other lacks — iced pear.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (iced pear, iris): the less conventional of the two.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Almaz

  • Facets Isla Bohemia does not have: bergamot, raspberry, blackcurrant.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €230.00).

The verdict
