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

  • bergamot, oakmoss, rose: all materials absent from Purple Fig.
  • green pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

Why choose Purple Fig

  • Its pyramid opens on galbanum, sichuan pepper, fig, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (angelica, sichuan pepper): the less conventional of the two.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    Mitsouko — signature carried by green

  • Most versatile

    Purple Fig — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

  • Most original

    Purple Fig — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (angelica, sichuan pepper)

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