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 brings what the other lacks — star anise, iris, carnation.
- Launched in 1912, it has 114 years of life behind it.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: carnation, star anise).
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
Why choose Libre Le Parfum
- Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
- Facets L'Heure Bleue does not have: saffron, lavender, orange blossom.
- It is 110 years younger (2022 against 1912).
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Libre Le Parfum — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum
-
Most original
L'Heure Bleue — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (carnation, star anise)
