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

- aldehydic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
- 105 years of existence (1921): it has proved itself for longer.

Why choose Musk Therapy
- musky notes: all materials absent from N°5.
- Released in 2020, when the other dates from 1921.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — musky notes, iris are among the least common notes in our database.
