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 Noir Patchouli

  • The cheaper of the two: from €205.00, against €600.00.
  • Its pyramid opens on coriander, cardamom, leather, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand and leather in support.
  • “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose XXY

  • grapefruit, jasmine, ylang-ylang: all materials absent from Noir Patchouli.
  • The investment is heavier: €600.00 minimum.
