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 Individuel

  • plum, cardamom, coffee: all materials absent from Black XS.
  • gourmand and amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • “office” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.

Why choose Black XS

  • Its pyramid opens on lemon, sage, precious woods, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: kola, precious woods).

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Individuel — signature carried by gourmand and amber

  • Most original

    Black XS — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (kola, precious woods)

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