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

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — star anise, iris, carnation.
  • More track record: launched in 1912, it has been worn for 114 years.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Versace Man

  • Facets L'Heure Bleue does not have: rosewood, clary sage, amber.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and warm spicy.
  • It is 91 years younger (2003 against 1912).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    L'Heure Bleue — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Versace Man — signature carried by amber and warm spicy
