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 Fleur du Mâle

  • It brings what the other lacks — mint, bergamot, white musk.
  • More track record: launched in 2007, it has been worn for 19 years.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Libre Intense

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Facets Fleur du Mâle does not have: lavender, mandarin, jasmine.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by vanilla and amber.
  • Released in 2020, when the other dates from 2007.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Libre Intense — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Libre Intense — signature carried by vanilla and amber

  • Most original

    Libre Intense — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (ambergris, lavender)
