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 Essence of the Other World

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — neroli, white flowers, myrrh.
  • More recent creation (2025, against 2016).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — eucalyptus, white flowers are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Instant Crush

  • Facets Essence of the Other World does not have: blackcurrant, white musk, rum.
  • gourmand and amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • More track record: launched in 2016, it has been worn for 10 years.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Parfum): lower theoretical longevity.
  • Less at ease in the “office” context according to our calculated profile.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Essence of the Other World — Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum

  • Most enveloping

    Instant Crush — signature carried by gourmand and amber

  • Most original

    Essence of the Other World — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (eucalyptus, white flowers)
