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 Mitsouko

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on oakmoss, vetiver, jasmine, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More track record: launched in 1919, it has been worn for 107 years.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Un Jardin sur le Toit

  • grass, white musk, apple: all materials absent from Mitsouko.
  • green pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Released in 2011, when the other dates from 1919.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — grass, basil are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Mitsouko — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Un Jardin sur le Toit — signature carried by green

  • Most original

    Un Jardin sur le Toit — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (grass, basil)
