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 Hugo Man
- Budget in its favour — €38.95 against €215.00.
- Facets Perseus does not have: oakmoss, fir, green apple.
- More track record: launched in 1995, it has been worn for 31 years.
- Notes that are uncommon with us (green apple, fir): the less conventional of the two.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
- Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
Why choose Perseus
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- It brings what the other lacks — juniper, vetiver, lemon.
- It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
- It is 20 years younger (2015 against 1995).
- The investment is heavier: €215.00 minimum.
