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 Bois du Portugal

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Dune pour Homme does not have: ambergris, vetiver.
  • More track record: launched in 1987, it has been worn for 39 years.

Why choose Dune pour Homme

  • It brings what the other lacks — mandarin, mugwort, jasmine.
  • It is 10 years younger (1997 against 1987).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (mugwort, basil): the less conventional of the two.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Bois du Portugal — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Dune pour Homme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (mugwort, basil)

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