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 Illusion d'un Soir

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • bergamot, amber, lavender: all materials absent from Vert Empire.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Vert Empire

  • Its pyramid opens on petitgrain, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus in the lead.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: petitgrain, benzoin).
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Parfum): lower theoretical longevity.
  • Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.
