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 Lime Basil & Mandarin

  • It brings what the other lacks — tea, patchouli, white musk.
  • More recent creation (1999, against 1969).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Ô de Lancôme

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Toilette where the other is eau de cologne — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets Lime Basil & Mandarin does not have: honeysuckle, oakmoss, sandalwood.
  • 57 years of existence (1969): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (honeysuckle, basil): the less conventional of the two.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Ô de Lancôme — an eau de toilette formula against an eau de cologne

  • Most original

    Ô de Lancôme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (honeysuckle, basil)
