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
- It brings what the other lacks — rose, vanilla, ylang-ylang.
- 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 724
- Facets N°5 does not have: lily of the valley, bergamot, mimosa.
- Released in 2021, when the other dates from 1921.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
The verdict
These two perfumes are too close to separate any trophies: same family, same register. The choice comes down to the details above — and to your skin.
