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 Misia

  • It brings what the other lacks — rose, white musk, violet.
  • It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • Released in 2015, when the other dates from 2004.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Bois d'Argent

  • Facets Misia does not have: myrrh, amber, plum.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber and leather in support.
  • Launched in 2004, it has 22 years of life behind it.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (myrrh, plum): the less conventional of the two.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Bois d'Argent — signature carried by amber and leather

  • Most versatile

    Misia — 7 situations out of 8 suit it, against 5 for the other

  • Most original

    Bois d'Argent — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (myrrh, plum)

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