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

  • Facets Gran Ballo does not have: galbanum, rose, iris.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Gran Ballo

  • It brings what the other lacks — gardenia, wild berries, caramel.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand and amber.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — wild berries, gardenia are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Less at ease in the “office” context according to our calculated profile.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Gran Ballo — signature carried by gourmand and amber

  • Most original

    Gran Ballo — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (wild berries, gardenia)

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