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

  • Its pyramid opens on ambroxan, sichuan pepper, bergamot, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It is 9 years younger (2015 against 2006).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — sichuan pepper, star anise are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Terre d'Hermès

  • orange, vetiver, geranium: all materials absent from Sauvage.
  • 20 years of existence (2006): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most original

    Sauvage — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (sichuan pepper, star anise)
