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 Matière Noire
- Its pyramid opens on narcissus, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Its formula is out of the ordinary — narcissus, labdanum are among the least common notes in our database.
- No offer listed for the moment.
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Parfum): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Taif Aoud
- Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Parfum): higher theoretical longevity.
- geranium, aldehydes, bergamot: all materials absent from Matière Noire.
- Warmth wins out, with amber and gourmand in support.
- Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Taif Aoud — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum
-
Most enveloping
Taif Aoud — signature carried by amber and gourmand
-
Most original
Matière Noire — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (narcissus, labdanum)
