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 Eau des Merveilles

  • It brings what the other lacks — driftwood, ambergris, orange.
  • Freshness dominates, with salty in the lead.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 6.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (fleur de sel, driftwood): the less conventional of the two.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Opulence of Dubai

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Eau des Merveilles does not have: rose, bergamot, cardamom.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand and amber in support.
  • “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Opulence of Dubai — an extrait de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Eau des Merveilles — signature carried by salty

  • Most enveloping

    Opulence of Dubai — signature carried by gourmand and amber

  • Most versatile

    Eau des Merveilles — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 6 for the other

  • Most original

    Eau des Merveilles — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (fleur de sel, driftwood)

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