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 cologne — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets English Oak & Hazelnut does not have: tobacco, aldehydes, sandalwood.
  • green and aromatic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • 18 years of existence (2008): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose English Oak & Hazelnut

  • It brings what the other lacks — hazelnut, green notes, oak.
  • Released in 2017, when the other dates from 2008.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: hazelnut, oak).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Cologne), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Sycomore — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de cologne

  • Freshest

    Sycomore — signature carried by green and aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    Sycomore — signature carried by smoky and tobacco

  • Most original

    English Oak & Hazelnut — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (hazelnut, oak)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
