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 Poison

  • star anise, tuberose, honey: all materials absent from Classique.
  • More track record: launched in 1985, it has been worn for 41 years.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Classique

  • Its pyramid opens on rose, ginger, orchid, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More recent creation (1993, against 1985).

The verdict

These two perfumes are too close to separate any trophies: same family, same register. The choice comes down to the details above — and to your skin.
