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 Sycomore
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Its pyramid opens on aldehydes, sandalwood, oakmoss, nowhere to be found opposite.
- smoky and tobacco give it a roundness the other lacks.
- More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 5).
- No offer listed for the moment.
Why choose Vetiver
- lemon, white musk, amber: all materials absent from Sycomore.
- Freshness dominates, with green and aromatic in the lead.
- More track record: launched in 1961, it has been worn for 65 years.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
The verdict

Most concentrated
Sycomore — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

Freshest
Vetiver — signature carried by green and aromatic
-
Most enveloping
Sycomore — signature carried by smoky and tobacco
-
Most versatile
Sycomore — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 5 for the other
