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 L'Ombre dans l'Eau

  • Facets Le Jour se Lève does not have: rose, bergamot.
  • Launched in 1983, it has 43 years of life behind it.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Le Jour se Lève

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — mangosteen, mandarin, peony.
  • More recent creation (2018, against 1983).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — mangosteen, peony are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Le Jour se Lève — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Le Jour se Lève — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (mangosteen, peony)
