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 Eau Noire

  • It brings what the other lacks — immortelle, liquorice.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — liquorice, immortelle are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

Why choose Alpha Desire

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets Eau Noire does not have: saffron, eucalyptus, patchouli.
  • aromatic and citrus pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

    Alpha Desire — an extrait de parfum formula against an eau de parfum

  • Freshest

    Alpha Desire — signature carried by aromatic and citrus

  • Most enveloping

    Eau Noire — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most original

    Eau Noire — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (liquorice, immortelle)
