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

  • Its pyramid opens on mandarin, galbanum, rose, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • 45 years of existence (1981): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Fame Parfum

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • bergamot, ylang-ylang, mango: all materials absent from Must de Cartier.
  • It is 42 years younger (2023 against 1981).

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Fame Parfum — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum
