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

  • Its pyramid opens on rose, vanilla, aldehydes, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with aldehydic in the lead.
  • More track record: launched in 1921, it has been worn for 105 years.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.

Why choose J'adore Parfum d'Eau

  • magnolia, honeysuckle: all materials absent from N°5.
  • It is 101 years younger (2022 against 1921).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — honeysuckle, magnolia are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    N°5 — signature carried by aldehydic

  • Most original

    J'adore Parfum d'Eau — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (honeysuckle, magnolia)
