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, woody notes, guaiac wood, nowhere to be found opposite.
- More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
- Launched in 2006, it has 20 years of life behind it.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: pine, guaiac wood).
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Elysium
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- grapefruit, jasmine, lemon: all materials absent from Encre Noire.
- Released in 2017, when the other dates from 2006.
- Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
