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'Homme Idéal
- It brings what the other lacks — lemon, almond, rose.
- gourmand and amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
- No tracked point of sale to date.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
Why choose Dirty Velvet
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Facets L'Homme Idéal does not have: patchouli, labdanum, elemi.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: papyrus, elemi).
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Dirty Velvet — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
-
Most enveloping
L'Homme Idéal — signature carried by gourmand and amber
-
Most original
Dirty Velvet — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (papyrus, elemi)
