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.
- Warmth wins out, with gourmand and amber in support.
- More track record: launched in 1998, it has been worn for 28 years.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
Why choose Belle d'Opium
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets Hypnotic Poison does not have: incense, mandarin, calendula flower.
- More recent creation (2010, against 1998).
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: calendula flower, narcissus).
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Belle d'Opium — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette
-
Most enveloping
Hypnotic Poison — signature carried by gourmand and amber
-
Most original
Belle d'Opium — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (calendula flower, narcissus)
