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 Hypnotic Poison
- It brings what the other lacks — almond, cumin, pepper.
- Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand and amber.
- Launched in 1998, it has 28 years of life behind it.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
Why choose Scandal
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets Hypnotic Poison does not have: orange blossom, orange, honey.
- It is 19 years younger (2017 against 1998).
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Scandal — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
-
Most enveloping
Hypnotic Poison — signature carried by gourmand and amber
