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 Alien
- The cheaper of the two: from €47.85, against €270.00.
- Its pyramid opens on woody notes, white musk, nowhere to be found opposite.
Why choose Gran Ballo
- gardenia, wild berries, caramel: all materials absent from Alien.
- gourmand and amber give it a roundness the other lacks.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: wild berries, gardenia).
- Expect €270.00 at the very least, more than its rival.
- Our calculated profile does not see it on “office” ground.
