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 Antaeus

  • Facets Cuir Solaire does not have: carnation, lemon, basil.
  • Freshness dominates, with aromatic in the lead.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 4.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — sage, carnation are among the least common notes in our database.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Cuir Solaire

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — saffron, incense, oud.
  • leather and vanilla give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Cuir Solaire — an extrait de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Antaeus — signature carried by aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    Cuir Solaire — signature carried by leather and vanilla

  • Most versatile

    Antaeus — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 4 for the other

  • Most original

    Antaeus — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (sage, carnation)

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