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 brings what the other lacks — patchouli, oud, rose.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Gharaam

  • Facets Purple Oud does not have: jasmine, resin, cedar.
  • amber and warm spicy give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (resin, saffron): the less conventional of the two.
  • “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Gharaam — signature carried by amber and warm spicy

  • Most versatile

    Purple Oud — 7 situations out of 8 suit it, against 5 for the other

  • Most original

    Gharaam — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (resin, saffron)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
