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 La Nuit de l'Homme

  • cumin, cardamom, sandalwood: all materials absent from Y Le Parfum.
  • More track record: launched in 2009, it has been worn for 17 years.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Y Le Parfum

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on bergamot, clary sage, ginger, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More recent creation (2021, against 2009).
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Y Le Parfum — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
