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 Carat
- It brings what the other lacks — tulip, jonquil.
- Released in 2018, when the other dates from 1921.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: tulip, jonquil).
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
Why choose N°5
- Facets Carat does not have: rose, vanilla, aldehydes.
- Freshness dominates, with aldehydic in the lead.
- More track record: launched in 1921, it has been worn for 105 years.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.
The verdict
-
Freshest
N°5 — signature carried by aldehydic
-
Most original
Carat — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (tulip, jonquil)
