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 Philosykos

  • Eau de Toilette against eau de cologne: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • coconut, fig, woody notes: all materials absent from Blackberry & Bay.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand.
  • Launched in 1996, it has 30 years of life behind it.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Blackberry & Bay

  • Its pyramid opens on blackberry, bay laurel, blackcurrant, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It is 16 years younger (2012 against 1996).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Cologne: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Philosykos — an eau de toilette formula against an eau de cologne

  • Most enveloping

    Philosykos — signature carried by gourmand
