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

  • Its pyramid opens on plum, cinnamon, patchouli, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More track record: launched in 2003, it has been worn for 23 years.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — plum, coffee are among the least common notes in our database.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Noir Extreme

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • neroli, saffron, rose: all materials absent from Individuel.
  • More recent creation (2015, against 2003).

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Noir Extreme — Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette

  • Most original

    Individuel — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (plum, coffee)

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