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 Magie Noire

  • Its pyramid opens on patchouli, raspberry, tuberose, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber in support.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 6).
  • 48 years of existence (1978): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Bouquet Ideale

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • amber: all materials absent from Magie Noire.
  • It is 33 years younger (2011 against 1978).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “winter” ground.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Bouquet Ideale — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Magie Noire — signature carried by amber

  • Most versatile

    Magie Noire — it holds 8 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 6

  • Most original

    Magie Noire — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (civet, raspberry)

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