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
- Facets Féminin Pluriel does not have: vanilla, aldehydes, sandalwood.
- Freshness dominates, with aldehydic in the lead.
- Launched in 1921, it has 105 years of life behind it.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.
Why choose Féminin Pluriel
- It brings what the other lacks — violet leaf, patchouli, galbanum.
- More recent creation (2015, against 1921).
- Notes that are uncommon with us (galbanum, violet leaf): the less conventional of the two.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

Freshest
