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 By the Fireplace

  • Its pyramid opens on orange, chestnut, star anise, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (chestnut, star anise): the less conventional of the two.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Noir Extreme

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • amber, cardamom, neroli: all materials absent from By the Fireplace.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Noir Extreme — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Most original

    By the Fireplace — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (chestnut, star anise)

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