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

  • It brings what the other lacks — vetiver, cinnamon.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by green.
  • More track record: launched in 1919, it has been worn for 107 years.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

Why choose Femme

  • Facets Mitsouko does not have: amber, plum, patchouli.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 6.
  • More recent creation (1944, against 1919).

The verdict

  • Freshest

    Mitsouko — signature carried by green

  • Most versatile

    Femme — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 6 for the other

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
