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 The One for Men

- Launched in 2015, it has 11 years of life behind it.

Why choose 1 Million Elixir

- Warmth wins out, with warm spicy and leather in support.
- Released in 2023, when the other dates from 2015.
