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 ylang-ylang, neroli, vetiver, nowhere to be found opposite.
- 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.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: aldehydes, ylang-ylang).
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
Why choose Iris Poudre
- bergamot: all materials absent from N°5.
- It is 79 years younger (2000 against 1921).
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.
The verdict
-
Most versatile
N°5 — 7 situations out of 8 suit it, against 5 for the other
-
Most original
N°5 — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (aldehydes, ylang-ylang)
