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

  • It brings what the other lacks — aldehydes, mandarin, ylang-ylang.
  • Freshness dominates, with aldehydic and citrus in the lead.
  • It is 15 years younger (2016 against 2001).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Light Blue

  • Facets N°5 L'Eau does not have: bamboo, apple, ambroxan.
  • 25 years of existence (2001): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “evenings & dates” ground.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    N°5 L'Eau — signature carried by aldehydic and citrus
