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 Nuit d'Issey
- It brings what the other lacks — incense, spices.
- Expect €44.71 at the very least, more than its rival.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
Why choose Explorer
- The entry price is lower: €29.31 against €44.71.
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- Facets Nuit d'Issey does not have: ambergris, pepper.
- Markedly fresher, carried by citrus and fresh spicy.
