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 212 Sexy
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Its pyramid opens on cotton flower, vanilla, mandarin, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Released in 2004, when the other dates from 1948.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
Why choose L'Air du Temps
- iris, carnation, rosewood: all materials absent from 212 Sexy.
- 78 years of existence (1948): it has proved itself for longer.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — rosewood, carnation are among the least common notes in our database.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
212 Sexy — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette
-
Most original
L'Air du Temps — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (rosewood, carnation)
