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 vanilla, aldehydes, sandalwood, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Freshness dominates, with aldehydic in the lead.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (aldehydes, ylang-ylang): the less conventional of the two.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.
Why choose Musc Éternel
Few distinguishing arguments — the two profiles are very close.
- “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
The verdict
-
Freshest
N°5 — signature carried by aldehydic
-
Most original
N°5 — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (aldehydes, ylang-ylang)
