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 Molecule 04
- It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 6.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Grand Soir
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Its pyramid opens on vanilla, amber, benzoin, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and vanilla.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — labdanum, benzoin are among the least common notes in our database.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.
