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 Maahir Black

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on rose, saffron, amber, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Pure XS

  • ginger, myrrh, thyme: all materials absent from Maahir Black.
  • warm spicy and gourmand give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (thyme, myrrh): the less conventional of the two.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Maahir Black — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Pure XS — signature carried by warm spicy and gourmand

  • Most original

    Pure XS — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (thyme, myrrh)

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