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 Side Effect
- Its pyramid opens on rum, spices, amber, nowhere to be found opposite.
- More recent creation (2017, against 1992).
- The more expensive of the two (from €280.00).
- “spring” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose Angel
- Budget in its favour — €44.50 against €280.00.
- bergamot, patchouli, praline: all materials absent from Side Effect.
- More track record: launched in 1992, it has been worn for 34 years.
