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 Encre Noire
- Its pyramid opens on pine, guaiac wood, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Freshness dominates, with green in the lead.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (pine, guaiac wood): the less conventional of the two.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
Why choose Duro
- Extrait de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- leather, oud: all materials absent from Encre Noire.
- amber and leather give it a roundness the other lacks.
- “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
The verdict

Duro — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
-
Freshest
Encre Noire — signature carried by green
-
Most enveloping
Duro — signature carried by amber and leather
-
Most versatile
Encre Noire — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 6 for the other
-
Most original
Encre Noire — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (pine, guaiac wood)
