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 Not a Perfume

  • It brings what the other lacks — ambroxan, white musk.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Parfum): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Kryptonite

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de parfum — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets Not a Perfume does not have: aldehydes, cedar, almond.
  • Freshness dominates, with aldehydic in the lead.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

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

  • Freshest

    Kryptonite — signature carried by aldehydic

  • Most enveloping

    Not a Perfume — signature carried by amber

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