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 Vol de Nuit

  • Its pyramid opens on jonquil, bergamot, galbanum, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • Launched in 1933, it has 93 years of life behind it.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Safari

  • narcissus, marigold, rose: all materials absent from Vol de Nuit.
  • It is 57 years younger (1990 against 1933).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Vol de Nuit — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Vol de Nuit — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6
