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 Vetiver Extraordinaire

  • Facets Mitsouko does not have: pepper, cedar, white musk.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • More recent creation (2002, against 1919).
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Mitsouko

  • It brings what the other lacks — rose, jasmine, peach.
  • More track record: launched in 1919, it has been worn for 107 years.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: peach, oakmoss).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.

The verdict

  • Most versatile

    Vetiver Extraordinaire — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

  • Most original

    Mitsouko — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (peach, oakmoss)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
