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

  • Its pyramid opens on iris, incense, angelica, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More track record: launched in 2007, it has been worn for 19 years.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €220.00).

Why choose Perseus

  • Budget in its favour — €215.00 against €220.00.
  • basil, vetiver, lemon: all materials absent from French Lover.
  • More recent creation (2015, against 2007).

The verdict

  • Best price

    Perseus — €5.00 difference in its favour
