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 Ultra Male
- It costs less: from €79.95, while the other starts at €215.00.
- It brings what the other lacks — pear, mint, amber.
- Freshness dominates, with aromatic in the lead.
- 11 years of existence (2015): it has proved itself for longer.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Althaïr
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- Facets Ultra Male does not have: praline, bergamot, sandalwood.
- Markedly more enveloping, carried by gourmand and vanilla.
- More recent creation (2023, against 2015).
- The more expensive of the two (from €215.00).
