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.

The verdict
These two perfumes are too close to separate any trophies: same family, same register. The choice comes down to the details above — and to your skin.
