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
- The cheaper of the two: from €38.95, against €136.28.
- Its pyramid opens on fir, green apple, cedar, nowhere to be found opposite.
- More track record: launched in 1995, it has been worn for 31 years.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.
Why choose Beau de Jour
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- geranium, sage, tonka bean: all materials absent from Hugo Man.
- More versatile according to our calculated profile (7 contexts out of 8, against 5).
- More recent creation (2019, against 1995).
- Expect €136.28 at the very least, more than its rival.
