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

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets L'Homme does not have: myrrh, leather, plum.
  • amber and leather give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • More track record: launched in 2004, it has been worn for 22 years.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose L'Homme

  • It brings what the other lacks — neroli, pepper, geranium.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • It is 12 years younger (2016 against 2004).
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

    Bois d'Argent — signature carried by amber and leather

  • Most versatile

    L'Homme — 7 situations out of 8 suit it, against 5 for the other

  • Most original

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