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 Midnight Oud

  • incense: all materials absent from Shaghaf Oud Aswad.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and warm spicy.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Shaghaf Oud Aswad

  • Its pyramid opens on coriander, white musk, cumin, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (thyme, cumin): the less conventional of the two.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Midnight Oud — signature carried by amber and warm spicy

  • Most original

    Shaghaf Oud Aswad — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (thyme, cumin)

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