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 Très Chère

  • It covers more ground: 6 contexts out of 8 according to our calculated profile, against 4.
  • The more expensive of the two (from €210.00).
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Parfum), it should last less long.

Why choose Cuir Solaire

  • Budget in its favour — €64.90 against €210.00.
  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de parfum: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • saffron, incense, oud: all materials absent from Très Chère.
  • Our calculated profile does not see it on “spring” ground.

The verdict

  • Best price

    Cuir Solaire — €145.10 difference in its favour

  • Most concentrated

    Cuir Solaire — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de parfum

  • Most versatile

    Très Chère — it holds 6 of the 8 contexts we calculate, the other 4

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