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 Megalium

  • Budget in its favour — €115.00 against €250.00.
  • Facets Peony Couture does not have: nutmeg, chili pepper, myrrh.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber and warm spicy in support.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: chili pepper, opopanax).
  • Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Peony Couture

  • It brings what the other lacks — peony, star anise.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €250.00).
