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 Explorer Platinum

  • It brings what the other lacks — amber, cardamom, patchouli.
  • It is 19 years younger (2022 against 2003).

Why choose Endymion

  • Facets Explorer Platinum does not have: coffee, nutmeg, sage.
  • coffee and leather give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • 23 years of existence (2003): it has proved itself for longer.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — sage, coffee are among the least common notes in our database.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Endymion — signature carried by coffee and leather

  • Most original

    Endymion — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (sage, coffee)
