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 Joop! Homme

  • Budget in its favour — €22.82 against €235.00.
  • Facets 1986 does not have: vanilla, cinnamon, honey.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand and warm spicy in support.
  • “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose 1986

  • It brings what the other lacks — tea.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic and citrus.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — tea, cardamom are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Expect €235.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
