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 Above the Waves

  • It brings what the other lacks — tonka bean, tea, cardamom.
  • Expect €160.00 at the very least, more than its rival.

Why choose Incense 01

  • The entry price is lower: €68.00 against €160.00.
  • Facets Above the Waves does not have: fig, sandalwood, juniper.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (hazelnut, moss): the less conventional of the two.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Incense 01 — €68.00 at the low end, while the other starts at €160.00

  • Most original

    Incense 01 — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (hazelnut, moss)

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