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 Le Mâle Le Parfum

  • The entry price is lower: €58.96 against €79.90.
  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • iris, lavender, tonka bean: all materials absent from Opium pour Homme.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic.

Why choose Opium pour Homme

  • Its pyramid opens on star anise, pepper, tolu balsam, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by warm spicy and amber.
  • Launched in 1995, it has 31 years of life behind it.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: galangal, tolu balsam).
  • The more expensive of the two (from €79.90).
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

    Le Mâle Le Parfum — €20.94 difference in its favour
