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 Mon Guerlain
- jasmine, iris, bergamot: all materials absent from Le Mâle Elixir.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.
Why choose Le Mâle Elixir
- Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
- Its pyramid opens on mint, honey, benzoin, nowhere to be found opposite.
- gourmand and vanilla give it a roundness the other lacks.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — honey, mint are among the least common notes in our database.
- “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Le Mâle Elixir — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum
-
Most enveloping
Le Mâle Elixir — signature carried by gourmand and vanilla
-
Most versatile
Mon Guerlain — at ease in 8 contexts out of 8, against 6
-
Most original
Le Mâle Elixir — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (honey, mint)
