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
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- vanilla, aldehydes, ylang-ylang: all materials absent from Diorissimo.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
- Launched in 1921, it has 105 years of life behind it.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.
Why choose Diorissimo
- Its pyramid opens on lily of the valley, civet, lilac, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Released in 1956, when the other dates from 1921.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — lilac, civet are among the least common notes in our database.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
