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 The Scent Elixir

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on ginger, clary sage, plum, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (plum, clary sage): the less conventional of the two.

Why choose Masculin Pluriel

  • vetiver, mint, tonka bean: all materials absent from The Scent Elixir.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Parfum): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    The Scent Elixir — Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum

  • Most original

    The Scent Elixir — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (plum, clary sage)

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