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 Vetiver 46

  • Its pyramid opens on incense, patchouli, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with smoky in support.
  • More versatile according to our calculated profile (8 contexts out of 8, against 5).
  • Launched in 2007, it has 19 years of life behind it.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose Sedley

  • mint, lily of the valley, geranium: all materials absent from Vetiver 46.
  • aromatic and citrus pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Released in 2019, when the other dates from 2007.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (mint, lily of the valley): the less conventional of the two.
  • Less at ease in the “winter” context according to our calculated profile.
