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 Pi Neo

  • Its pyramid opens on mandarin, cardamom, cedar, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Polo Black

  • clary sage, mango, lemon: all materials absent from Pi Neo.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber and gourmand in support.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — mango, clary sage are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Polo Black — signature carried by amber and gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Pi Neo — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

  • Most original

    Polo Black — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (mango, clary sage)

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