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 French Lover

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Vetiver does not have: iris, incense, angelica.
  • It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • It is 46 years younger (2007 against 1961).

Why choose Vetiver

  • It brings what the other lacks — vetiver, lemon, bergamot.
  • More track record: launched in 1961, it has been worn for 65 years.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
