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 The Only One

  • Budget in its favour — €47.10 against €149.00.
  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Coffee Break does not have: orange blossom, violet, amber.

Why choose Coffee Break

  • It brings what the other lacks — milk, cardamom, white musk.
  • coffee and gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (milk, coffee): the less conventional of the two.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €149.00).
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Best price

    The Only One — from €47.10 against €149.00

  • Most concentrated

    The Only One — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Coffee Break — signature carried by coffee and gourmand

  • Most original

    Coffee Break — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (milk, coffee)

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