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 Gentleman Réserve Privée

  • iris, cardamom, bergamot: all materials absent from Eragon.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (rum, iris): the less conventional of the two.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Parfum: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Eragon

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on tonka bean, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand and leather in support.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Eragon — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most enveloping

    Eragon — signature carried by gourmand and leather

  • Most versatile

    Eragon — it holds 7 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 5

  • Most original

    Gentleman Réserve Privée — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (rum, iris)

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