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

  • Its pyramid opens on vetiver, aldehydes, sandalwood, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with green and aromatic in the lead.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Herod

  • vanilla, guaiac wood, cinnamon: all materials absent from Sycomore.
  • warm spicy and gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    Sycomore — signature carried by green and aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    Herod — signature carried by warm spicy and gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Sycomore — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6
