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 L'Heure Bleue

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • It brings what the other lacks — star anise, iris, carnation.
  • 114 years of existence (1912): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Classique

  • Facets L'Heure Bleue does not have: ginger, amber, orchid.
  • More recent creation (1993, against 1912).
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated
