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 Hamsa
- Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- amber, oud, saffron: all materials absent from Le Mâle.
- Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and warm spicy.
- Released in 2022, when the other dates from 1995.
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.
Why choose Le Mâle
- Its pyramid opens on lavender, mint, cumin, nowhere to be found opposite.
- aromatic pull it towards the bright and the lively.
- It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
- 31 years of existence (1995): it has proved itself for longer.
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
