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
- The cheaper of the two: from €42.89, against €66.50.
- Its pyramid opens on white musk, sage, maninka, nowhere to be found opposite.
- warm spicy and leather give it a roundness the other lacks.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — maninka, sage are among the least common notes in our database.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.
Why choose The Scent Elixir
- Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- patchouli, clary sage, plum: all materials absent from The Scent.
- Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
- Expect €66.50 at the very least, more than its rival.
