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.
- Facets Iris Ukiyoé does not have: vanilla, aldehydes, sandalwood.
- Freshness dominates, with aldehydic in the lead.
- 105 years of existence (1921): it has proved itself for longer.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.
Why choose Iris Ukiyoé
- It brings what the other lacks — woody notes, freesia.
- Released in 2010, when the other dates from 1921.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — freesia, woody notes are among the least common notes in our database.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
