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 Iris Poudre

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on vanilla, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It is 29 years younger (2000 against 1971).
  • The more expensive of the two (from €245.00).

Why choose Rive Gauche

  • Budget in its favour — €80.66 against €245.00.
  • oakmoss, peach: all materials absent from Iris Poudre.
  • Launched in 1971, it has 55 years of life behind it.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — aldehydes, peach are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Rive Gauche — from €80.66 against €245.00

  • Most concentrated

    Iris Poudre — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Rive Gauche — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (aldehydes, peach)
