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 Q by Dolce & Gabbana

  • The cheaper of the two: from €44.99, against €350.00.
  • Its pyramid opens on sandalwood, cherry, heliotrope, nowhere to be found opposite.

Why choose Elysium

  • grapefruit, amber, vetiver: all materials absent from Q by Dolce & Gabbana.
  • amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Expect €350.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
