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
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Toilette where the other is eau de cologne — so theoretically more tenacious.
- It brings what the other lacks — cedar, coconut, fig.
- Warmth wins out, with gourmand in support.
- More track record: launched in 1996, it has been worn for 30 years.
- No offer listed for the moment.
Why choose English Oak & Redcurrant
- Facets Philosykos does not have: rose, redcurrant, oak.
- Released in 2017, when the other dates from 1996.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — redcurrant, oak are among the least common notes in our database.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- 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
-
Most original
English Oak & Redcurrant — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (redcurrant, oak)
