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 Purple Oud

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de cologne — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on patchouli, saffron, rose, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Dark Amber & Ginger Lily

  • ginger, ginger lily, vetiver: all materials absent from Purple Oud.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — ginger lily, ginger are among the least common notes in our database.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Purple Oud — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Cologne

  • Most original

    Dark Amber & Ginger Lily — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (ginger lily, ginger)
