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

  • Its pyramid opens on rose, pear, melon, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by vanilla.
  • 27 years of existence (1999): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Donna Born in Roma

  • blackcurrant, guaiac wood, plumeria: all materials absent from J'adore.
  • It is 20 years younger (2019 against 1999).
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: plumeria, guaiac wood).

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    J'adore — signature carried by vanilla

  • Most original

    Donna Born in Roma — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (plumeria, guaiac wood)

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