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

  • It brings what the other lacks — lavender, tonka bean, iris.
  • Freshness dominates, with aromatic in the lead.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 6.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

Why choose Coco Vanille

  • Facets Mon Guerlain does not have: coconut, frangipani, white musk.
  • gourmand and vanilla give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — frangipani, coconut are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “summer” ground.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    Mon Guerlain — signature carried by aromatic

  • Most enveloping

    Coco Vanille — signature carried by gourmand and vanilla

  • Most versatile

    Mon Guerlain — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

  • Most original

    Coco Vanille — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (frangipani, coconut)

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