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 Chance

  • It brings what the other lacks — patchouli, pepper, lemon.
  • It is 82 years younger (2003 against 1921).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

Why choose N°5

  • Facets Chance does not have: rose, aldehydes, sandalwood.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aldehydic.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • Launched in 1921, it has 105 years of life behind it.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    N°5 — signature carried by aldehydic

  • Most versatile

    N°5 — at ease in 7 contexts out of 8, against 5

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