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

  • rum, vanilla, spices: all materials absent from Baraonda.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand and amber.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €280.00).
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

Why choose Baraonda

  • It costs less: from €130.00, while the other starts at €280.00.
  • Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on cognac, honey, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (cognac, honey): the less conventional of the two.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Baraonda — from €130.00 against €280.00

  • Most concentrated

    Baraonda — an extrait de parfum formula against an eau de parfum

  • Most enveloping

    Side Effect — signature carried by gourmand and amber

  • Most original

    Baraonda — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cognac, honey)

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