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 Shalimar
- It brings what the other lacks — rose, bergamot, incense.
- amber and vanilla give it a roundness the other lacks.
- Launched in 1925, it has 101 years of life behind it.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
Why choose La Femme
- Facets Shalimar does not have: ylang-ylang, frangipani, tiaré flower.
- More recent creation (2016, against 1925).
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — tiaré flower, frangipani are among the least common notes in our database.
The verdict
-
Most enveloping
Shalimar — signature carried by amber and vanilla
-
Most original
La Femme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (tiaré flower, frangipani)
