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 Sauvage

  • Facets Perfect Oud does not have: ambroxan, sichuan pepper, lavender.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic and fresh spicy.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 7 situations out of 8, where the other holds 5.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Perfect Oud

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • It brings what the other lacks — alaskan cedar, pyrogenated incense.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (alaskan cedar, pyrogenated incense): the less conventional of the two.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Perfect Oud — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Sauvage — signature carried by aromatic and fresh spicy

  • Most enveloping

    Sauvage — signature carried by amber

  • Most versatile

    Sauvage — it holds 7 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 5

  • Most original

    Perfect Oud — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (alaskan cedar, pyrogenated incense)

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