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

  • Facets Thé Matcha 26 does not have: lemon, tea, patchouli.
  • citrus and green pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Launched in 1999, it has 27 years of life behind it.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Thé Matcha 26

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Cologne): higher theoretical longevity.
  • It brings what the other lacks — green tea, cedar, orange blossom.
  • More recent creation (2020, against 1999).
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: green tea, fig).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Thé Matcha 26 — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de cologne

  • Freshest

    Lime Basil & Mandarin — signature carried by citrus and green

  • Most original

    Thé Matcha 26 — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (green tea, fig)
