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 Honey Dragon
- It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
- Its pyramid opens on bergamot, incense, opopanax, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Markedly fresher, carried by citrus.
- The investment is heavier: €255.00 minimum.
Why choose Pure XS
- Budget in its favour — €59.95 against €255.00.
- cardamom, thyme, grapefruit: all materials absent from Honey Dragon.
- 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.
- Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.
