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 VIP Men

  • Its pyramid opens on lemon, amber, cardamom, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus in the lead.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Incensum

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • pyrogenated incense: all materials absent from 212 VIP Men.
  • leather and warm spicy give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — pyrogenated incense, ginger are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “everyday” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Incensum — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Freshest

    212 VIP Men — signature carried by citrus

  • Most enveloping

    Incensum — signature carried by leather and warm spicy

  • Most original

    Incensum — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (pyrogenated incense, ginger)
