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 Gary's Den

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Ultraviolet does not have: patchouli, labdanum, bergamot.
  • It is 22 years younger (2023 against 2001).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — coriander, labdanum are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Ultraviolet

  • More track record: launched in 2001, it has been worn for 25 years.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Gary's Den — Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Most original

    Gary's Den — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (coriander, labdanum)
