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 Original Oud

  • Its pyramid opens on balsam, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with amber in support.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (balsam, geranium): the less conventional of the two.
  • The investment is heavier: €210.00 minimum.
  • Less at ease in the “summer” context according to our calculated profile.

Why choose Pretty Oud

  • Budget in its favour — €99.22 against €210.00.
  • ambroxan, amber, pineapple: all materials absent from Original Oud.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
