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 Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de parfum: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • fir resin, saffron, amberwood: all materials absent from Italica.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and gourmand.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — fir resin, amberwood are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.

Why choose Italica

  • Its pyramid opens on bergamot, orange blossom, sandalwood, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • It covers more ground: 7 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 5.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most enveloping

    Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait — signature carried by amber and gourmand

  • Most versatile

    Italica — at ease in 7 contexts out of 8, against 5

  • Most original

    Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (fir resin, amberwood)

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