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 English Pear & Freesia

  • Its pyramid opens on patchouli, pear, freesia, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • 16 years of existence (2010): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Cologne): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Oriana

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de cologne — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • cherry blossom, bitter orange, blackcurrant: all materials absent from English Pear & Freesia.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand in support.
  • It covers more ground: 8 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 6.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Oriana — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de cologne

  • Most enveloping

    Oriana — signature carried by gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Oriana — at ease in 8 contexts out of 8, against 6

  • Most original

    Oriana — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (cherry blossom, bitter orange)

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