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 Youth Dew

  • Its pyramid opens on orange, rose, clove, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Launched in 1953, it has 73 years of life behind it.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (spices, clove): the less conventional of the two.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

Why choose Illusion d'un Soir

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de parfum: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • bergamot, benzoin, lavender: all materials absent from Youth Dew.
  • It is 70 years younger (2023 against 1953).
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Illusion d'un Soir — Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum

  • Most original

    Youth Dew — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (spices, clove)
