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
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on vanilla, ylang-ylang, neroli, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Launched in 1921, it has 105 years of life behind it.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose Calandre
- oakmoss, bergamot, geranium: all materials absent from N°5.
- Released in 1969, when the other dates from 1921.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
- Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
N°5 — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
