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

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • grapefruit, cardamom, pepper: all materials absent from The Dreamer.
  • It is 19 years younger (2015 against 1996).
  • “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose The Dreamer

  • Its pyramid opens on iris, lavender, broom, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
  • 30 years of existence (1996): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
