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 Lys Méditerranée

  • It brings what the other lacks — lily, ginger, lily of the valley.
  • 26 years of existence (2000): it has proved itself for longer.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: lily, lily of the valley).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Paradoxe

  • Facets Lys Méditerranée does not have: jasmine, neroli, benzoin.
  • amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • It is 22 years younger (2022 against 2000).
