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 28 La Pausa

  • Facets Bois d'Iris does not have: violet, aldehydes.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: aldehydes, violet).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Bois d'Iris

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • It brings what the other lacks — vetiver, amber.
  • amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Bois d'Iris — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Bois d'Iris — signature carried by amber

  • Most versatile

    Bois d'Iris — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

  • Most original

    28 La Pausa — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (aldehydes, violet)

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