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 Carnal Flower

  • It brings what the other lacks — bergamot, tuberose, jasmine.
  • green pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Portrait of a Lady

  • Facets Carnal Flower does not have: rose, sandalwood, raspberry.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber and patchouli in support.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    Carnal Flower — signature carried by green

  • Most enveloping

    Portrait of a Lady — signature carried by amber and patchouli

  • The winter pick

    Portrait of a Lady — this is the season where its accords express themselves best
