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 Grand Soir
- Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
- benzoin, labdanum, orange blossom: all materials absent from Amber Pour Homme.
- Warmth wins out, with amber and vanilla in support.
- More recent creation (2016, against 2006).
- We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “office” ground.
Why choose Amber Pour Homme
- Its pyramid opens on bergamot, patchouli, mandarin, nowhere to be found opposite.
- 20 years of existence (2006): it has proved itself for longer.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: sage, coriander).
- Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.
- Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.
The verdict
-
Most concentrated
Grand Soir — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette
-
Most enveloping
Grand Soir — signature carried by amber and vanilla
-
Most original
Amber Pour Homme — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (sage, coriander)
