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 Midnight Riviera

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • salt, marine notes, orange: all materials absent from Crystal Noir.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by marine.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 6.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Crystal Noir

  • Its pyramid opens on sandalwood, gardenia, orange blossom, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with warm spicy and amber in support.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
  • Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.
