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 1828

  • It costs less: from €205.00, while the other starts at €415.00.
  • It brings what the other lacks — nutmeg, incense, pine.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

Why choose A Midsummer Dream

  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets 1828 does not have: cyclamen, rhubarb, aldehydes.
  • Expect €415.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
