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

  • mandarin, jasmine, galbanum: all materials absent from Kenzo World.
  • More track record: launched in 1981, it has been worn for 45 years.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — galbanum, iris are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Kenzo World

  • Its pyramid opens on peony, white musk, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More recent creation (2016, against 1981).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most original

    Must de Cartier — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (galbanum, iris)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
