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 Do Son

  • Facets Paradoxe does not have: iris, tuberose, sichuan pepper.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by marine.
  • 21 years of existence (2005): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (sichuan pepper, marine notes): the less conventional of the two.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Paradoxe

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — jasmine, neroli, amber.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber in support.
  • More recent creation (2022, against 2005).
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Paradoxe — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Do Son — signature carried by marine

  • Most enveloping

    Paradoxe — signature carried by amber

  • Most original

    Do Son — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (sichuan pepper, marine notes)

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