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 Must de Cartier
- It brings what the other lacks — mandarin, galbanum, iris.
- More track record: launched in 1981, it has been worn for 45 years.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
Why choose Essence of the Other World
- It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets Must de Cartier does not have: neroli, white flowers, myrrh.
- More recent creation (2025, against 1981).
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — eucalyptus, white flowers are among the least common notes in our database.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Essence of the Other World — Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum
-
Most original
Essence of the Other World — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (eucalyptus, white flowers)
