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
- Budget in its favour — €47.85 against €51.69.
- Facets Libre does not have: amber, woody notes.
- Warmth wins out, with amber and gourmand in support.
- 21 years of existence (2005): it has proved itself for longer.
- “summer” is not its register, according to the profile we calculate.
Why choose Libre
- It brings what the other lacks — vanilla, lavender, blackcurrant.
- Freshness dominates, with aromatic in the lead.
- Released in 2019, when the other dates from 2005.
- Expect €51.69 at the very least, more than its rival.
- Less at ease in the “night” context according to our calculated profile.
