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 J'adore

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Facets Whispers in the Library does not have: rose, pear, jasmine.
  • 27 years of existence (1999): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Whispers in the Library

  • It brings what the other lacks — pepper, patchouli, tobacco blossom.
  • vanilla and tobacco give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • It is 20 years younger (2019 against 1999).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    J'adore — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Whispers in the Library — signature carried by vanilla and tobacco

  • The winter pick

    Whispers in the Library — its scent profile is cut out for this season
