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 N°5 L'Eau
- Facets N°5 does not have: cedar, lemon, mandarin.
- Markedly fresher, carried by aldehydic and citrus.
- It is 95 years younger (2016 against 1921).
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose N°5
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- It brings what the other lacks — vanilla, sandalwood, iris.
- Launched in 1921, it has 105 years of life behind it.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.
