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 d'Argent

  • It brings what the other lacks — iris, plum, honey.
  • Launched in 2004, it has 22 years of life behind it.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “office” ground.

Why choose The Afternoon of a Faun

  • Facets Bois d'Argent does not have: bergamot, rose, immortelle.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by citrus.
  • Released in 2016, when the other dates from 2004.

The verdict

  • Freshest
