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'Instant de Guerlain

  • Facets 24 Faubourg does not have: magnolia, honey, lemon.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and gourmand.
  • It is 8 years younger (2003 against 1995).
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: tea flower, magnolia).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “office” ground.

Why choose 24 Faubourg

  • It brings what the other lacks — orange blossom, iris, vanilla.
  • Launched in 1995, it has 31 years of life behind it.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    L'Instant de Guerlain — signature carried by amber and gourmand

  • Most original

    L'Instant de Guerlain — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (tea flower, magnolia)
