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 Déclaration
- pepper, vetiver, orange: all materials absent from Y Le Parfum.
- 28 years of existence (1998): it has proved itself for longer.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose Y Le Parfum
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on tonka bean, clary sage, lavender, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Warmth wins out, with amber in support.
- More recent creation (2021, against 1998).
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Y Le Parfum — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette
-
Most enveloping
Y Le Parfum — signature carried by amber
