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 Happy for Men

  • It brings what the other lacks — juniper, lemon, sandalwood.
  • More track record: launched in 1999, it has been worn for 27 years.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • “winter” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Bad

  • Facets Happy for Men does not have: vetiver, caraway, tobacco.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • Released in 2016, when the other dates from 1999.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — caraway, cashmere wood are among the least common notes in our database.

The verdict

  • Most versatile

    Bad — it holds 7 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 5

  • Most original

    Bad — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (caraway, cashmere wood)

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