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 24 Faubourg

  • It brings what the other lacks — iris, ylang-ylang.
  • Launched in 1995, it has 31 years of life behind it.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Olympéa

  • Facets 24 Faubourg does not have: fleur de sel.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by salty.
  • It is 20 years younger (2015 against 1995).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — fleur de sel, orange blossom are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Less at ease in the “office” context according to our calculated profile.

The verdict

  • Freshest

    Olympéa — signature carried by salty

  • Most original

    Olympéa — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (fleur de sel, orange blossom)
