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 Égoïste
- It brings what the other lacks — cinnamon, woody notes.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- 36 years of existence (1990): it has proved itself for longer.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Noir Extreme
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets Égoïste does not have: cardamom, neroli, saffron.
- Warmth wins out, with amber and gourmand in support.
- It is 25 years younger (2015 against 1990).
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Noir Extreme — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
-
Most enveloping
Noir Extreme — signature carried by amber and gourmand
-
Most versatile
Égoïste — it holds 7 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 5
